Ever since December 4th, 2019, there has been a steady growing group called Greater Central Ohio Public Transit Project, which has been dedicated to getting the public's opinion on mass transit in Franklin County. The group recently got to 45 members including the Franklin County Engineer, Cornell Robertson, who joined shortly after the group was first founded. The group is free to join after some questions are answered, and the link is https://www.facebook.com/groups/GCOPTP/ . Anyone who wants to join the discussion can join today and start posting ideas, concepts, station designs, system maps, and other things related to improving mass transit in Franklin County. The link will have to be copied and pasted into the browser top, however.

High speed rail can be used to connect the cities of Cincinnati, Dayton, Columbus, Akron,Cleveland, and Toledo in one large HSR system, with express service between Cleveland, Columbus, and Cincinnati also available. Any thoughts?
-
Another issue that could be posed by following railroad ROW, is the high clearance required by double stack container cars that are carried frequently by both Northfolk Southern, and CSX Transportation. This would make the system more expensive by increasing the height of the guideway to accommodate the taller container cars.

While some may argue, some also support the cause. Although there are alternative routes that I have been exploring lately, such as the MORPC MTP routes from downtown to Dublin, and downtown to Rickenbacker airport, and I will be using the distance estimates that MORPC provides to estimate the total costs for the system. The line in this case only would run along high through downtown while taking other routes elsewhere

Columbus, Ohio, one of the largest cities in the United States without a form of rail based public transit. I have a proposal to fix it, in the form of a Cheap, Fast, Safe, and Economical solution, called Monorail. The system would follow the High Street Corridor for most of its route from Rickenbacker Airport to Polaris Shopping Center. The line length would be approximately 34.5 miles in length with the highest cost estimated at about 1.4 Billion USD. The system would have connections to routes that feed into it as well. since the system is elevated, it is much faster than street traffic, and unlike light rail, it is much safer since it doesn’t mix with street and pedestrian traffic. Stations would be equipped with elevators for wheelchair access as well.

Why don’t we look at better forms of transit such as an elevated Monorail for some of the major corridors, High street being the primary one for such system, with other lines that feed into it to better connect citizens to jobs

Taken, thank you

I know I didn’t go into much detail in this article, but here it is regarding the extreme basics of my proposal, I will also post the full paper I did regarding such systems for the city https://www.dispatch.com/opinion/20200127/letter-columbus-should-consider-using-monorail-system

Monorail is more than feasible as an option for the High Street corridor here in Columbus, Ohio. I did a whole research paper on the topic for my English class and got a small feature in The Columbus Dispatch regarding the proposal, although my English paper was way more detailed with cost and safety figures for such system

Was it for a group called Greater Central Ohio Public Transit Project? if so, I’ve been running the group since December of 2019.
