  1. So COAST is trying to tie a new sales tax propose for Union Terminal and Music hall with the streetcar. http://www.cincinnati.com/story/news/2014/07/03/opposition-emerges-union-terminal-music-hall-tax/12198265/
  2. How true is it that the Cincinnati metro may have a new F500 company via merger?

    It was the first 4 game sweep in San Francisco for the Reds since 1972. It was the first time ever the Giants has been sweep in a 4 game series at AT&T park. That's been open since 2000.

    The Reds looks to be back on track. But Milwaukee keeps winning too.

  6. They might as well start tolling tomorrow. At least they will know how it will effect traffic patterns.
  7. Daymn talk about bad luck. I hope the person survived that got hit by lighting.
  8. The tolls are not just for the bridge but everything leading up to the bridge. The bridge itself costs 700 million. But all the added things from the cut in the hill to the western hills viaduct skyrockets the price to almost 3 billion.
  9. It's much better than the 400 million offered to a failing company in Sears. I wonder if they would have did the same for Toyota? Hell offer Walmart 300 million and see where that goes. Yes it's all alot of money, but it builds momentum.
  10. So the streetcar helped bring GE to town. Who would have thought? Not Cranley.
  11. Do you really think this deal started this year?
  12. The Cleveland metro gained 22,700 jobs since January. http://www.bls.gov/eag/eag.oh_cleveland_msa.htm The Columbus metro gained 12,700 jobs since January. http://www.bls.gov/eag/eag.oh_columbus_msa.htm The Charlotte metro gained 8000 jobs since January. http://www.bls.gov/eag/eag.nc_charlotte_msa.htm
  13. I'm sure being elevated brings the costs up considerably. Cheaper than underground though.
  14. The Cincinnati metro gained 27,000 jobs since January. http://www.bls.gov/eag/eag.oh_cincinnati_msa.htm
  15. Yikes!! 1.4B for 9.5 miles of rail in a small market?? I though Honolulu's system was expensive. lol It just goes to show. Build these system now while they are cheap.
  16. ^ That has already been taken care of.
  17. What does its second two years of operation mean? Year 3 of operation?
  18. A new bridge will be needed. After 40 years of the river current. It could be undermining the piers. Do they even inspect underwater?

    Sad new from the game of baseball. http://espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/id/11091626/hall-famer-tony-gwynn-san-diego-padres-died
  20. ^Are they saying Hamilton county gained 2000 the past year? hmm what happened to the estimates saying Hamilton county will be below 800,000. It goes to show. Do not rely on estimates.
  21. If anything it could put the suburbs in a bind when they lose the company they gained through incentives and have them re-stolen. Cincinnati can absorb the losses better than West chester or Mason. It may make them rethink what they have been doing.
  22. They will be system wide. Also On I-71 starting with the MLK interchange. http://www.i75millcreekexpressway.com/images/pdfs/IMS/IMS%2005-05-2009%20Final.pdf Metering is also going to be installed at Fields Ertle and I-71 in 2015. http://www.wceo.us/pages/I%252d71-%7B47%7D-Fields%252dErtel-Road-%7B47%7D-Mason%252dMontgomery-Road-Interchange.html
  23. They have started a new floor to this building.
  24. Did they say they just arrested 500 people a week or so ago? Did they all let them out? I'm sure there is not space for them
  25. A new federal designation was just formed. http://www.daytondailynews.com/news/business/region-wins-coveted-manufacturing-communities-desi/nf8dz/ http://www.eda.gov/challenges/imcp/files/IMCP_2_Pager_Handout_SOAR.pdf
