  1. Nb was always crowded in the morning but never in the afternoon back then. Weekends also. NB never had back ups on weekends now it's every weekend.
  2. It's not guaranteed if the company goes bankrupt or out of business. What if there is a major accident on the line that takes out a bridge or a city like La Grange in ky?
  3. I travel it everyday and it seems worse no matter what those numbers say. It never used to back up northbound daily. Now it does. Weekends as well.
  4. What is the project near the subway line along I-75 N? Midrise apartments?
  5. It's interering how charlotte thinks. "Peer cities like Paris, Rome, Shanghai, Montreal, Miami, all hold these types of tournaments, and so this is a unique opportunity for our community.” We can use that kinda enthusasium in Ohio.

  9. It looks like Cleveland gobbled up Youngstown in it's CSA. Cincinnati and Columbus gobbled up a bunch of counties along with Dayton. We will know once the official statments comes out. This is only for local pay. But it uses CSA definitions. https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2023/06/28/2023-13621/general-schedule-locality-pay-areas

  16. What would be worse? A train accident causing 100's million in damages? A bridge collapse? Selling would get rid of all the liabalities and maintance of the line.

  18. All day on the weekends northbound. On a Thursday 2 weeks back they were changing the lights on the interstate. That caused 40 min+ Delays.
  19. Like a switch has been turned on. Major conjestion is at the bridge now. From Mt Zion road. It's been like this for a few months now.

  21. Todd Portune had a plan a few years back for rail from CVG to downtown. Maybe they can tap more funds from this transportation bill before it drys up. https://www.cincinnati.com/story/money/2014/07/24/obstacles-downtown-cvg-rail-idea/13111963/

  23. Both governors meet tomorrow to give out the funding plan for the bridge.
  24. The transportation bill just passed. Now waiting on the Presidents signature. The bridge is still included in the scaled down bill. Now the region will have to pay for half of the cost. And the bridge will fully reopen Sunday.
  25. It's bettter to be prepared than not prepared. I rather be wrong than right when it comes to building the bridge.
