And we have ground breaking....

I'm still holding out on a new design... or perhaps going back to tha Mallory version.

Why do you say that? I believe I read somewhere that's the purpose of the park. Large green space, it'll be more appropriate for recreational events and concerts. I'd imagine they just rotate or distribute the events between the two parks. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I think the addition of Ziegler park will help with the issues at the oval. Most of the kick ball and recreation will move to that site. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Media and photographers got a chance to ride the loop. Enquirer's write up: http://www.cincinnati.com/story/news/politics/2016/09/06/streetcar-rides-today---media/89892594/ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Honestly, I don't think these things are mutually exclusive. But I do think that transit should always be considered in concert with redevelopment. The technologies available need to complement what is trying to be done. The bus system and the Redbike system strike me as the two main ways to guarantee access. Sort of a basic way for every citizen in the City to get around. No section of the City should be cut off from transportation access, and these are the two ways to make sure there is a basic level of equality. The streetcar system is about recreating density. Naturally it is going to be limited to the Basin and Central hills area. I think expansion of the system should be based around higher property taxes for affected properties, if that is possible. Finally, a faster, grade separated light rail type line would be about both redevelopment around the line (like they do with rail lines in Asia) and alternatives to the highways for quick access around and through the City. All these different systems have to be able to interact well with one another. Can people take bicycles on the Streetcar? Yes bikes are allowed on the street car and should be able easily get on/off with the level door loading plan. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Did anyone else see the massive crane on 14th today? I wasn't able to get a picture but what were they working on? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah... I get that. But the ads will still show Toyota cars... which won't seem at all "local". In other words, their ads won't show off anything unique to Cincinnati. Don't get me wrong, I'm still happy that they are a sponsor! I think this is a PR move/sales push for Kerry. You have to remember they are losing almost two thousand customers with Toyota's move to Plano. They all had there lease cars serviced and maintained at Kerry. I am also curious if Toyota sponsored FC because of the move of local jobs. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Right around the corner it appears. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Also has anyone put together a list of developments along the streetcar line in one source… here is a example of KC's http://projects.kansascity.com/2014/downtown/ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I lived in Japan for 3 months and my employer subsidize the operation/helped finance the construction of the rail line that connected to the HQ. They also had a policy in place that if you did live within 8 miles of the office you had to take public transport due to the lack of parking. They also built corporate residences along the line. Totally different than what's done here in the USA. I actually got to work with the Japan Transit Authority while I was there, to me their approach was a end to end resident to job infrastructure.

http://www.cincinnati.com/story/news/2016/04/25/streetcar-budget-moves-cranley-wont-veto/83514208/ Looks like Cranley has decided he won't veto if there is only five votes. On a side note: I just had a co-worker visit Portland last week and was impressed that the street car actually had ridership. He couldn't stop asking questions about our street car. I found It comical, but its evident to me we still need to educate Cincinnatians on the value of a streetcar. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Since this will be sandwiched in between the Sam Adams Brewery and the Elm and Liberty parking garage it might make a good Sam Adams taproom/restaurant. (They're going to at least retrofit with windows.) I believe it's being converted to apartments by grandin.

Does anyone know the bizarre change that occurred? http://www.bizjournals.com/cincinnati/news/2016/04/21/battle-over-downtowns-former-terrace-plaza-hotel.html Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
