Cincinnati: Paycor Stadium Renovations
Does traffic always back up all the way to Florence before a home game? We were coming up from Central Kentucky Sunday morning and the traffic was nasty. The phone said it was bad all the way to the stadium. We turned around at Buttermilk Pike and took 275 to 471 and it was fine. I never came that way before games when I lived in Cincinnati. OSU only backs up about a mile from the stadium when you come up 315 before a game and Ohio Stadium holds more.

Sounds like they did a great job of charging Patel before they determined if he was even alive.

I wonder what the walls were for. A motorcycle junkyard doesn't have the money to wall their stuff off like that. Someone before had to have put them up.

Ohio Education / School Funding Discussion
That may be true of the Catholic schools and the highly-selective "brain schools" but a lot of other private schools aren't nearly as successful at those goals. And very well could open the door to every little nondenominational church with no oversight to open up a school where they just talk about Jesus all day. Those churches don't have the diocese or the kind of oversight that the old denominations have.

Columbus: Historic Photos
And half of those new businesses are bleeding their franchisees dry because their drive-thru dependent businesse models can't handle only walkup traffic and all that downtime. No huge groups of senior citizens showing up at 6am to sit there and drink coffee.

Miscellaneous Ohio Political News
Got a flyer in the mail saying my polling place has been moved from the walkable place it had been for years to another spot where almost everyone will have to drive. I know the old building needed a lot of work but it worked fine as a polling place. It doesn't need to be demoed but the city wants to expand a parking lot.

Yeah the buses will really be able to carry a lot of speed on Olentangy with signal prioritization (which LinkUS will have!)

Columbus LinkUS BRT
After looking how transit expansions were funded initially in our peer cities one source moves to the top and that's sales taxes. After the sales tax passes then come the federal funds. In order to see the highest possibility of passage the service area funded by the sales tax generally needs to be large rather than a smaller starter line that serves a core area. So the emphasis is on the BRT, bike, pedestrian and general funding aspects of the plan. If too much emphasis was placed on High Street (which some would argue already has too much emphasis on it as a part of town as compared to every other part) the further a voter lived from it the less likely they would be to vote for it. But nothing is being ruled out since there will be a lot of funding with the sales tax. And a lot of the rail solutions will be easier to implement once we get over this hump of "No local match, no money from the Feds because you're not dense enough" business. Cincinnati scraped together money from a bunch of different sources and faced massive resistance since going to the voters would be harder -- their sales tax was already high to build Paul Brown Stadium.

GCrites replied to Summit Street's post in a topic in Central & Southeast Ohio Projects & ConstructionDowntown has its own zoning code that didn't change with Zone In that allows lots of density-related things that the old zoning didn't and even Zone In doesn't in a lot of places. Here is an interactive Zone In map: https://experience.arcgis.com/experience/f8ec3c7ce4b34a6aa4b7be3ffbcb9717/

Cincinnati: BLINK | A Festival of Light & Art
A lot of times for event attendance numbers you can ask the Port-A-John company. But with Blink you have a lot of people using restrooms in businesses as well which makes it harder.
