I think on jjakucyk's website there are some pictures of the remnants of this station (look under PRR/LMRR photos in the Cincinnati Traction History website). Very cool find indeed.

On another note - here is a possible modernist streetcar shelter design - http://world.nycsubway.org/perl/show?106051 That is a good law.

Yep. Cross-country. My dad did it a lot in Minneapolis, but here in Cincinnati I do it the few times a year it snows hard enough to ski :-D

Let's hope this thing happens.

I can't wait to see all the new stuff down by the river!

Well....hmmmm....Toledo, Youngstown, Dayton, and Akron are all smaller industrial cities, so they might have a bit of a union leaning towards Dems

Awesome! I can't wait for verdant fields to replace the asphalt of old Mehring Way! I can't wait until 2013, when Central Riverfront Park, the Banks, and the streetcar have all been completed!

The Queen City Parrot...or something with a better ring to it

That really stinks. Are New Starts and TRAC II the other possible grant sources at this point? Hopefully those applications will be successful.

So when and where exactly will the Uptown Transportation Center be built? Are there any renderings of the planned hub?

I read it. It had some stuff about John Schneider and the Seattle Streetcar (South Lake Union Streetcar). Horstman came to the surprising conclusion in one section that the streetcar will likely "be neither as wonderful as its supporters claim nor as awful as its detractors warn." No kidding!

That's too bad. I thought we could at least have some BIG bus transit improvement with the subway. If only, if only Cincinnati had built something like the MBTA Green Line or Newark City Subway instead..........and still had light rail.

On another note, when will the TRAC II and TIGER II grant decisions be announced?

Could the subway ever be used as a BRT tunnel (i.e. Downtown Seattle Transit Tunnel, MBTA Silver Line)?
