Lorain-Carnegie and Detroit-Superior already has plenty of room for bikes. No need on the I-90 bridge, with no where to really go on south end anyway besides Tremont. Csn not support extra $ on a bridge to carry two bikes a day.

Wow, so they are going to build this thing? I had my doubts. Will they pursue eminent domain to force out the Sportsman?

Sorry if your view of everyone living in ultra-high density clusters does not fit with reality of views of most citizens of our country. And they make no apology for that. Cleveland metro spreads out to Lorain at least, I'd think, so Avon sits squarely inside that. Heck, Youngstown is part of "Cleveland+".

The new interchange fills in the metro area more than it expands it.

Avon Road will likely be reopened/reconstructed when the new exit is built. Spending on infrastructure is important. Avon is as much a part of this metro area as Cudell. If you are going to just hate on anything 20+ miles away from a large urban downtown area, than that is fine, but it's a minority viewpoint and will be summarily dismissed by most.

Good news!

If you want to see bus drivers not knowing traffic rules, just watch them in the traffic circle (aka Vortex of Death) at I-71 and Steelyard and West 14th. They routinely take the outside lane off I-71 around to 14th north. Vary dangerous since the inside lane is allowed to head onto Steelyard, crossing directly in path of reckless bus operator.

AG has not produced cards in Ohio in many years. The jobs are pretty much all white-collar, including a large creative/art studio.

Can we move this to the "Duh" forum? I have no problem with the players that used steroids over the last 40 years. Athletes sacrifice their bodies for sport all the time in many ways, why signal out steroids? McGwire is still hall-of-famer in my mind.

They went the temporary casino route in Windsor too. It's a good way to build up towards the new building, I guess.

How come RTA busses aren't using the Innerbelt bridge southbound? It's open to trucks now, correct? I know Northbound is still closed to trucks.

No.

::)

That's why a better way to power personal vehicles is the best way out of this mess.

Can you still buy the passes from a cashier inside Tower City? I've use the machines and figured it out, though it takes a few minutes. That's an eternity, and when waiting for a couple people in front of you, it ruins your morning.... I've missed a few trains at W117th due to that.

Me thinks MTS has the record for most posts on this thread without a single photo of him/herself.

And the busses that do run on Saturdays will be mainly the little Circulator busses? Wow, RTA is close to it's rush-hour only operational goal. Blame whoever you want.

There will not be much left if they keep cutting. A few spurs off the train lines and that may be it in a few years...

They are cutting weekends/evening service to all these routes: • No. 1 St. Clair – late-night service between East 129th & East 152nd • No. 2 East 55th-East 79th • No. 25 Madison • No. 34 East 200th-Green • No. 37 East 185th-Taylor – south of Severance • No. 40 Lakeview-Lee – discontinue service after midnight • No. 48A University Circle-East 131st – South Miles branch • No. 55 Clifton • No. 76 Broadway-Turney – north of Turney-Ella loop • No. 77F Brecksville – south of VA Hospital, north of Public Square • No. 79A Fulton

RTA's proposed service cuts could affect thousands of riders http://blog.cleveland.com/metro/2009/11/rtas_proposed_service_cuts_cou.html Looks like the initial proposal for 2010 cuts is out. Remember, this is a proposal. Public hearings in January. Routes cut completely: 4 Wade park 12 Woodland 17 E 49th-Canal-Rockside 20Z Metroparks Zoo 24 Van Aken/Tri-C 50 E 116th-Harvard-W 117th 51F Strongsville PNR 52 Westgate 76F Turney 86F Berea-Olmsted Falls 88 Broadway-Northfield 145 York Flyer 702 John Marshall HS 722 Cleveland Heights HS 742 Bay HS 762 Maple Hts HS-Raymond 791 St. Edward HS 792 St. Joseph Academy-St. Ignatius Some of the Partial cuts (there are many): WaterFront - Discontinue rush hour service. Weekends/Special Events Only 246 Westlake P&R - cut extention to St. John West Shore 263 N. Olmsted P&R - cut extentions to Olmsted Falls and Lorain Rd County Line. 75 North Olmsted - cut rush hour extention into downtown 39 run Rush hour service only 70 consolidate into 83

Having just two standees is probably not enough to make them run the artics on weekends fulltime, i would guess. FYI... RTA is currently training their drivers on the little busses formerly used as Community Circulators. You will see those busses on many routes on Saturdays and Sundays in the near future.

What happened to "the pope"?

I noticed that yesterday when the crossing gate was down by the Settlers Landing stop for an extended period during morning rush.
