  1. The loop ramp from Cross County to I-71 NB is an issue; there is always a merging delay in the PM rush. The merge lane is too short, and since that is a free flow ramp from Cross County EB, no metering takes place from a signal. The Cooper Road bridge shoulder piers are the issue there.

  4. Listerman Oktoberfest - All Local Craft beer -tonite and tomorrow
  5. Honestly I did did not pay attention to the name. Beer and Brewery names are typically off the wall any way they don't register with me. Its a Shakespearean character from Much Ado About Nothing

  7. Play has plenty of Apps to compete with Itunes. I can get Itunes music over to my Android phone easily. Personally I would hate using Itunes to manage my music on my device. I'd rather use Windows explorer and manage what music I have on my device which I can do just fine in Android
  8. Parking is also under the "spaceship" http://www.cupertino.org/inc/pdf/apple/SitePlan-Submittal2.pdf
  9. Not really, just the fact that tOSU fans can't understand that their are actually residents in the State that are NOT Buckeye fans

  11. I think Dugan's main beef is that the developer is getting TIFF money for the parking garage; all other issues they rise are just noise
  12. Were abouts in Sharonville? an outside the box route would be up I-71 to Cross County to Plainfield/Reed Hartman (not sure how that does during rush hour); then Old Plainfield (past UC Blue Ash) to either Creek Road or Glendale-Milford/Reading over to Sharonville
  13. The sign recently appeared in a Strip Mall near my house and was wondering what the heck....who knew? http://www.gotobus.com/busstation/90833.html
  14. ^^^^ That ain't Mayberry....wow!
  15. What are the nature of the crimes in the small rural town you refer to? I surmise that they are related to the Meth problem - indubitably the scene being at a private residence or trailer. The perception is, whether right or wrong, is that urban crime is more out in the open and suburban and exurban crime is more confined to private residences or otherwise hidden from the public spaces. Raising children comes with a whole host of issues to deal with, so if by choosing a place to live, one perceives they can avoid crime that is out in the open they will do so.
  16. If you are at the page shown on the image: Hit advanced and select "Plans" under the CABINET drop down (upper right); Then you can hit it with the PID Number (However the main search page you can find it with this project number 120599 )
  17. To see the construction plans for Hopple Street Interchange go here: http://contracts.dot.state.oh.us/document/documentSearchCriteria.do Key-in 76257 in the PID Number field and hit go --8' sidewalks are proposed on the Hopple Bridge - See Sheets 1221, 1222 and 1223 and 945 thru 949. It looks likethe bike path on MLK dives down to Central Parkway; to cross over the new Monmouth Overpass?

    Comment seems to be spot on
  19. Major pavement rehabilitation from I-74 up to Blue Rock; remove 6" of asphalt, break apart the concrete base and repave with 11.5" of new asphalt Minor pavement rehabilitation from Blue Rock to Colerain - repaving. Work to I-74 interchange bridges, some ramps wil be closed for 30 days. Detour will use continuous runaround being constructed at SR 128 below I-275/I-74.... No work to Blue Rock Bridges
  20. 2015 Projections ("Opening Day") for interstate rehab projects. The OKI ADT 19,000 "on I71 east of Rt 123" in 2009 seems like an anomaly.
  21. The license plate is from the one state where the trailer is registered, no? Not necessarily where its trip has started... Just because a tractor trailer may not drive the whole length of I-75 does not make the BSB less important to regional, intrastate and interstate national freight movement.
  22. Recent projects I was involved with had the following traffic and truck counts: I-75 @ Wapak (Auglaize County) 2015 Average Daily Traffic=45,000 Average Daily Truck traffic =about 18,500 (41% of total traffic) I-71 @ Wilmington (Clinton County) 2015 Average Daily Traffic=45,430 Average Daily Truck traffic =about 15,400 (34% of total traffic)
  23. Didn't GE Aviation itself actually move a couple hundred office jobs from Sharonville to Union Centre a few years back? That would have made the most sence to be in Evendale, if land costs were the concern. I think that was a consolidation of Engineering jobs from several locations in Finneytown and some from Evendale
  24. what about the Permanent open space created by Cemeteries?
  25. They should be going after the bans on Trans Fats and labeling requirements. That's the real reason behind the explosion in the Palm Oil Industry. Palm Oil can be used in food products in place of Trans Fatty Acids (Hydrogenated Oils) and not be labeled as such.
