Butler County Growth
I def think that Bypass 4 should have priority among county projects. The road is way to small with the amount of business and residental establshed in Fairfield/Fairfield Twp. I think that 6 lanes from 4 to 129 would be fine and we should just build big now, bc the road won't be upgraded for another 20 yrs. The liberty interchange is for growth, but as Hamilton-Mason as the cut-off between Liberty and West Chester, I feel part of the project is to take traffic off of Tylersville Rd. And Cox Rd to 63 will not happen bc there is several homes between Princeton and Bethany valued between $5-10 million each.

Ohio: Casino / Gaming Discussion
Ohio is too stupid to know whats good for us. The gaming money would help out this state so much, schools and other programs would get the help they need. Many other states have gaming and it is not turning all of them into terrible states, many are growing (Las Vegas, Chicago for example). Build the casinos now, stop Indiana from taking all the money that Cincinnati could have.

Covington: MainStrasse
RiverViewer, permanently closing the street I think would hurt business badly. Certainly good for celebrations, bad otherwise.

Cincinnati: Downtown: Queen City Square
Can't wait for the entire project to be finished. I wish the building was closer to Carew, but many cities now don't have their tall buildings grouped together in a particular order. Look at Columbus and Atlanta for examples, really spread out.

Metro Cincinnati: Road & Highway News
Its gonna be 8 lanes under the paddock road bridge, with aux lanes to the ramps, so 10-12 lanes before and after the bridge.

Metro Cincinnati: Road & Highway News
For those interested in the I-75/275 interchange, flyover ramps will be put in after the I-75 expansion between I-275 and the Western Hills Viaduct. The plan calls for flyovers at I-75 south to I-275 east, I-275 east to I-75 north. The plan is keeping the loop from I-275 west to I-75 south. i think all the loops should be removed and put another full stack in like I-75/275 interchange in Kentucky.

Warren County growth
I understand that, but there are many subdivisions and I can't see the possibility of putting a huge road between the developments. I can see a 71-75 connector north, near Monroe, off of 63. This seems like a better idea. Sprawl will continue to happen, and we should put a connector in now, and not wait until all the land is homes.

Warren Co: Deerfield Towne Center
Mason-Montgomery is already as bad as Fields-Ertel. The developments need to be controlled, too much building, not enough improvements to roads and the communities will hurt because they can't control it. I think the growth is good, anywhere in the Cincy metro, because it helps the entire region, but when these huge developments and no road improvements, people will just sit in there cars and keep destroying the envirionment.

Warren County growth
I can't see the government willing to spend the amount of money it will take to buy property along Bethany Rd. Homes around there are 300,000+, and a 6 lane freeway would require way to much right-of-way. I can see a connector north of Bethany, between Kyles Station and highway 63 in Monroe. Or Butler and Warren counties could just upgrade Tylersville, mainly adding turn lanes and maybe some bus stops because anywhere north of I-275 has basically zero suburb to suburb buses.

Interstate 75: Liberty Interchange in Butler County
As a resident of West Chester ( I know how much most people hate it), I think the Liberty Interchange is a good thing, as long as Cox road is extended. Tylersville is a mess and Hamilton-Mason could pull a lot of traffic off of Tylersville, this would mainly help those who live east of I-75. You could exit at Cin-Day on 129, but all roads to the east are 2 lanes, and bethany is way to small to handle more traffic for those who live in east Liberty twp and Mason. The sad thing is, the developers around Cincinnati get away with building giant subdivisions without upgrading the roads and schools around their developments. Las Vegas, known for its growth, has its developers putting in new roads and even building schools in their developments.
