I hope sorta an streamline with the streetcar. More funding from the feds may be available to expand both systems.

Everything was lined up for this project. If you didn't pay contractors to complete the building you had to pay someone and that money had to go somewhere.

It didn't get completed for a reason.

What's the next milestone for the project?

There is no consolation prize to sell out years ahead of time or at the last minute. As long as it is sold out. Many people may have thought it was already sold out. Now that the word was put out it sold out.

Sold out. So how is that a problem?

Is this a complaint? It is the Christmas weekend.

Where is he getting the numbers that phase two alone will cost $250 million???

Problems? What do you mean? They sold out every game this year and this will be too.

Why should he care about what someone says on a forum????

Construction restarts Christmas eve.

^ No doubt. It hard to replace a kicker that gave us good field position.

Time to get the county and state on-board. It may take a new administration for the state though.

^ It will benefit people from NKY more than anything since it will have a northbound ramp.

Thread should be renamed to construction of the streetcar or something.

It looks like they fixed the paywall.

Will the signatures be turned on or held?

^ The feds just wants assurances the project will continue. Ordinances means nothing to them. They will yank the funds immediately if the project is not continued.

Winburn is looking for additional funding? Does that mean he wants phase 2?

That would be doomsday for the city.

What ? A coaster is turning now?

So the city would shell out 100+ million and have nothing, than to finish? That is BAD BAD math. That's way way unacceptable.

Everything the city is doing now is hurting ANY companies recruiting and not just in the city but the as well region.

Why would they announce anything with the audit not done? Don't they have anything else to do? I mean there is 99% more things involved in a city besides a streetcar.
