They're still in Northside. The Court Street location will be a second location.

The methodology is designed to become more accurate as we accumulate more past year data. And changes have been made to make the Census Bureau's methodology better reflect best practices in demography. Of course, we won't know for sure that they're better until after the 2020 Census, but based on past research this should be the case. You have to keep in mind that in 2010 the idea of having annual estimates was still a relatively new one for the Census Bureau and they were learning as they went along. They have a much better handle on this stuff now. When 2020 comes out there will be areas where we see errors in the estimates, and none of them will be exactly right. But we can be confident that in most cases they are going to be in the generally correct ballpark.

You're on the right track here but it is a little more complicated than that. They do create a national estimate and then the county estimates (and by extension, state estimates) have to add up to that number so they are adjusted to do so. But going into all the estimates is data on births, deaths, and migration (using multiple sources, including tax returns). So they're using births minus deaths plus domestic and internal migration to create an estimate for each county, then adjusting the counties using a process called "raking" to match the national estimate. This approach is generally accepted as being more accurate than just creating a bottom-up estimate for each county and summing them.

What local data?

So the 2018 estimates for cities aren't out yet but I looked at the 2017 estimates and Cincinnati grew by 2,503 residents from 2016 to 2017. Hamilton County grew by 3,099 during that period. So 80% of the growth from 2016 to 2017 took place in the city if the estimates are accurate. Looking at all seven years from 2010 to 2017, Cincinnati grew by 4,398 residents and HamCo grew by 12,299. So Cincinnati accounted for 36% of all growth this decade so far.

They are estimates and they could definitely be off. But it is unlikely that Cuyahoga gained residents. The methodology for the estimates has gotten better over time and they should be a pretty fair representation of the actual count, give or take a few thousand.

And Hamilton, Butler, Warren, and Clermont Counties around Cincinnati grew a combined 10,264 this year. Added to the Cbus metro number that is a combined 34,330. So the net for the rest of Ohio was -9,027.

The name does have a geographic basis. It's named after the neighborhood of Pendleton, which is defined by three points. The intersections of Sycamore/Liberty, Reading/Liberty, and Central Parkway/Sycamore. I think it's a rather creative name, personally. Also, Sam Adams is brewed by the Boston Beer Company, headquartered in Boston. It was launched on the day of the Boston Marathon and is named after a famous Bostonian who also brewed beer. I can't think of a more Boston name.

Where you been? It's packed to the gills every weekend.

Ah okay, I thought it got signal priority because as I was sitting at a light on Euclid a bus pulled up and the transit signal immediately changed. I guess it was just perfect timing haha.

This is from 2014. The issue seems to have been resolved because the bus definitely gets signal priority now.

Right. But the lanes in the example I made are wider than they need to be, and there's a center turn lane that doesn't need to exist for the entirety. I think there's enough room for center running, but there is definitely enough for curb running and I think that's fine too as long as there's clear separation and signal priority. True. Increasing frequencies throughout the system would go a long way.

When did this happen? I was just there a couple of months ago and the BRT still gets signal priority.

Route 11 up Madison is the 5th busiest route in the system. And East Walnut Hills, Hyde Park, and Oakley are continually adding more young residents who want to have the bus as an option but are unlikely to use it right now because it takes too long. And Madison has excess capacity in its current form for the amount of volume it carries.

Correct. But streetmix doesn't have a BRT option for illustration. BRT can fit in the same footprint as that example though. Just reverse the lane positions.

Not only does this bypass not even touch Brinkman's district, but if it is completed it will actively HURT people in his district by moving development and infrastructure dollars out of their area and leave them neglected. Why would he advocate for this? My only thought is that he knows that Hamco is moving left and he's not long for this world as an elected official here. He can just move out to Clermont County and tout his commitment to bringing investment there and run for office there in the future.

Cleveland's BRT line along Euclid Ave is also center running. https://goo.gl/maps/KXbBQdi3NQL2

Not really. Madison Road is plenty wide enough. Here's an example, using the existing ROW:

And the evidence would say you are correct. https://ggwash.org/view/69795/you-may-have-heard-of-road-diets-why-fewer-lanes-are-faster-and-safer

Navy Yard isn't even close to being built out yet though. There are plans to add a ton of housing down there. One limiting aspect is that due to the proximity to the airport the buildings can't be that tall. The bike lanes, streetscaping, etc. help make it feel a lot more pleasant than it looks in the aerial.

This is a true statement though. Midtown Manhattan is a very uncomfortable and dangerous place to be a pedestrian. Other parts of Manhattan, that have narrower streets and a finer grained urbanity are very pleasant places to walk. The same is true in Philadelphia, where Market Street, JFK Blvd, Ben Franklin Parkway, etc. are perilous to cross and uncomfortable to walk along. It's the more fine-grained rowhouse neighborhoods that are pleasant for pedestrians. And of course the same is true of Cincinnati, where most of the CBD is not a comfortable place to walk but OTR is much more pleasant. Sure, the CBDs of many American cities are walkable in the sense that things are close together and there are sidewalks, but they aren't pleasant or safe places to walk.

It can definitely have many bar establishments and still be a functional family neighborhood. That is true of the Wash Square West and Old City neighborhoods in Philly. The both have a ton more bars and clubs than OTR and both are desirable neighborhoods with all types of residents.

From a few days ago. From this angle you can see both the 8th and Main crane and the Walnut and Central crane.
