Here's some news. Although this might have been alluded to or mentioned in this thread earlier: http://blog.cleveland.com/metro/2011/12/post_542.html

WOW!!!!! Asolutley Awesome!!!!!!

Definitely. However, it seems like wishful thinking since only Columbus, Oh and Austin Texas are in the running.

clvlndr, Me being a native Clevelander, I will always hold Cleveland above everything else. SO...my opinion is of course biased. One thing about the proposed streetcar. The tracks have been in the ground for a year and no streetcar yet. It's only a mile long segment and was pushed through even though many were against it. It is supposed to expand to the east side of Charlotte but there is no funding at all. As far as light rail expansion here is concerned, funding is such that it probably won't happen except for the extension of the Blue line.

Just a little transit-envy I have to admit to. I live in Charlotte and the transit system here is absolutely inadequate for the stature and economic clout this city is supposed to have. There is one train here and it doesn't even run to the airport! CATS (Charlotte Area Transit System), of course, is not a perfect system. Neither is RTA. RTA has it's faults like every transit system does. But to have the transportation options Greater Cleveland has is very impressive. I've ridden the Red Line from the airport to Tower City before and it is so convenient. To have a train that runs from the center city to the airport is quite an asset. Wanted to give a shout out to RTA for operating a system that is the envy, at least in my humble opinion, of many other transits systems around!

Wow! Dispels all the negative images from heresay! Gorgeous downtown!

Same problem here too!

Nice ones! Now if the Browns would only play well enough to pack the place out!

I'll definitely pay that price to go!

Very cool! Thanks for the link!

MTS has a very valid point about Burke. It simply cannot be closed until Hopkins gets another runway. it's actually an asset to have Burke so close to downtown.

As always, awesome shots!

I like this. This plan, unlike the previous plans I believe, has a clear direction. I especially like the Burke development area with the capability of floating business barges and campus-like office developments. Excellent way to keep businesses in the city!
