To enact section 5534.966 of the Revised Code to designate the interchange of I-480 and West 150th Street in Cleveland as the "SPC Louis P. Shuster Memorial Interchange."
Summary
HB360 is a simple memorial road-naming bill. It creates a new section of the Ohio Revised Code to designate the interchange of Interstate 480 and West 150th Street in Cleveland, Cuyahoga County, as the "SPC Louis P. Shuster Memorial Interchange." The bill also authorizes the Ohio Director of Transportation to erect appropriate markers at the interchange reflecting the new name.
The measure does not change traffic rules, funding formulas, or transportation policy; its effect is limited to the official naming of a specific highway interchange. The bill honors SPC Louis P. Shuster by placing his name on a public roadway feature in Cleveland, and it would become part of Ohio's list of statutorily named roads and bridges if enacted.
Impact
If enacted, HB360 would add section 5534.966 to the Revised Code and expand Ohio’s catalog of memorial highway designations. The practical impact would be limited to signage and official recognition at the I-480/West 150th Street interchange in Cleveland, with the Ohio Department of Transportation permitted to install markers. No other statutes, agencies, or regulated parties would be materially affected.
Sentiment
The available record shows no committee testimony, debate, or recorded votes, so there is no documented opposition or support beyond the bill’s introduction and referral to the House Transportation Committee. Based on the bill’s sponsor list and memorial nature, the measure appears routine and likely noncontroversial.
Contention
No specific points of contention are reflected in the provided materials. Because the bill is a memorial designation only, any disagreement would likely be limited to general concerns about roadway naming practices, signage costs, or the use of legislative time for honorary designations, but none of those concerns are documented here.
