So who is more likely top be correct, the state DOT or the Feds?

On a somewhat related note (related in the sense that there could be a slight chance more NYers flee to the Cleve), there is an event happening in NYC at The Hook (http://www.thehookmusic.com/ called The Cleveland-Fest (http://www.myspace.com/cleveland_fest). 13 local (Cleveland bands) will be playing there on August 25th raising money for Cleveland and NYC A.I.D.S charities. List of bands: DUVALBY BROTHERS, THIS MOMENT IN BLACK HISTORY, IAN SCREAMS, COFFINBERRY, HIGHTOWER SMITH, JESSE BRYSON, BIBLICAL PROOF OF UFO'S, AMERICAN WEREWOLVES, ROUE, FALL BACK, MUSSELS, RAHU-KETU, THE HEATHERS, ROGER HOOVER AND THE WHISKEYHOUNDS Maybe this calls for an UO road trip in order to recruit more transplants.

Good for her. I've always enjoyed reading her blog. Actually looks like there may be two, according to the comments section.

Sounds like a plan.

The FHWA has a table linked from their home page with the List of Fracture Critical Steel Deck Truss Bridges. Guess which state has the highest number (you only get one guess). TOTAL FRACTURE CRITICAL STEEL DECK TRUSS BRIDGES: 756 State Number Alabama 18 Alaska 7 Arizona 8 Arkansas 11 California 59 Colorado 6 Connecticut 6 Delaware 2 District of Columbia 0 Florida 1 Georgia 2 Hawaii 5 Idaho 4 Illinois 7 Indiana 10 Iowa 9 Kansas 15 Kentucky 11 Louisiana 3 Maine 6 Maryland 10 Massachusetts 19 Michigan 14 Minnesota 6 Mississippi 4 Missouri 8 Montana 11 Nebraska 4 Nevada 2 New Hampshire 3 New Jersey 8 New Mexico 7 New York 33 North Carolina 2 North Dakota 0 Ohio 187 Oklahoma 14 Oregon 38 Pennsylvania 47 Rhode Island 0 South Carolina 1 South Dakota 6 Tennessee 7 Texas 25 Utah 3 Vermont 8 Virginia 13 Washington State 32 West Virginia 31 Wisconsin 15 Wyoming 3 Puerto Rico 5 And here they are:

But usually, UO is not hosting the photos. They are linked to flickr, photobucket, or some personal server. Doesn't that make a difference?

pd:

Most of the renderings I have posted were acquired at public meetings or have to do with public entities. So I have no problems posting any of this. Sunshine laws.

Actually the ODOT Aesthetics and Land Use committee has been meeting with the various stakeholders over the past couple of months discussing this such thing (I am on it representing CSU). It clearly makes sense to try and make that connection from CSU to Tri-C and the hospital - as long as we can make it physical. Obviously, this will be very expensive and may be beyond the scope of work for the current Innerbelt project. What could be included is creating the infrastructure necessary so years from now, when their is funding available, the cap can become a reality.

And, of course, by that ^ you do NOT mean ALL planners and developers. Because that would be just plain silly to include ALL in such a generalized statement such as THAT.

Las day - Last photos... until next year. Sunday, Part I http://www.urbanohio.com/forum2/index.php?topic=13696.msg206049#msg206049 Sunday, Part II http://www.urbanohio.com/forum2/index.php?topic=13697.msg206051#msg206051

Last, but not least. Part II - less kids.

Last day of the festival. Only about 33 pictures in this set, divided into two parts. You'll have to put up with many shots of my kids in this first part. Deal with it. Inside, looking out. The making of a video game. She calls it "Monkey Butt." True story. That was one fast robot.
