That is a terrible use of space. If they were built as rowhouses, they could double the number of units without building any higher.

I feel like the easiest solution is just let the Bengals move to a new stadium in Warren County or something. They can build their own private Banks of Lebanon that they have total control over and it doesn't have to be Cincinnati's direct problem anymore while keeping the team in the region.

I don't understand how no progress has been made over the last decade. Surely there's been demand for new development and the fault lies simply with the city and country being lazy?

Blame the amount of regulations developers have to follow to build anything. Mega blocks are just the easiest way to comply with them. It would be nice to have some more diverse building styles, but until those regulations are loosened it'll be bland 5 over 1's all day everyday.

Feels overbuilt considering the small number of actual buildings built so far

Should've made it taller

Here we go. All the usual suspects opposing small but useful city improvements for no good reason.

I know it won't happen, But if you could, what kind of rail service would you use the tunnel for? The Mill Creek Valley is very depopulated nowaday's, and it's right next to I-75 so there isn't a ton of opportunity for development.

Rails to trails is the dumbest trend in modern urban planning.

I agree, 248 parking spaces it way too many. It should at most half of that

I have to agree. It seems like Metro isn't willing to go the distance to implement a BRT system that will actually meet the standard of rapid transit. Most of the buses on the BRT routes are not going to be grade separated, especially in places where it would help the most, ie. Hamilton Avenue in Northside and in Gaslight Clifton. I just feel like the money being spent on BRT would be better spent on further improving city-wide bus service and frequency, rather than building out a half complete "BRT" system that doesn't do what it's advertised to do.

With the announcement that Amtrak has selected four routes in Ohio for Amtrak expansion, I think an extension to CUT is really worth considering, especially with all the development around the FCC Stadium. Assuming that it gets funded and built, Cincinnati will be getting daily Cardinal service and thrice daily 3C+D service so getting the streetcar out there will go a long way in convincing people to ride Amtrak and not have to rely on rideshare.

I really hope the next mayoral campaign has some good candidates because I am not looking forward to voting for this guy again.
