Blaine Hill "S" Bridge on the Old National Highway, Near Bridgeport OH http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/infrastructure/back0105.cfm

You don't have to be on Facebook; and if you are on it, you don't have to post EVERYTHING you do. Assume that everything you post on Facebook is visible to the entire world. I assume there is an old proverb that says one shouldn't be boastful --- if you announce to the world that you got a raise, or just flew into Paris for a 2 week vacation, expect your house to get robbed, or more child support.

I wonder how much public money has been wasted on ballot initiatives, law suits, extra public meetings?

Why not just leave the existing bridge in, unless it needed major structural renovation that required the replacement of the girders, et al.? Cost of the maintenance and inspection of the bridge.

I would pay to see "The Band"...but Mr. Levon Helm passed earlier this year....

^ Is this it? PID 13603: CUY HARVARD AVENUE Rehabilitate the Harvard Avenue Bridge over the W&LE Railroad located at East 103rd Street in the City of Cleveland. Starts April 2013

Is there any national standards for mass transit construction; analogous to AASHTO's "Green Book" (Which is not legislated nationally, but is the de facto standards for highway construction used by all state DOT's)?

Tunica, MS?

Did you guys expect al fresco gaming tables along the sidewalk?

New oblique (45 degree) imagery posted for Cincinnati (I have judged the Cincy and Hamilton OH obliques to be from summer 2012) http://google-latlong.blogspot.com/2012/09/imagery-update-explore-more-of-world-in.html

really, how do you suppose things get built?

That is actually Our Lady of Victory Catholic Church (OLV) in the right foreground; Rapid Run Pike is the lager street running E-W toward the left of the photo.

Utility issues hold up a whole host of highway and bridge projects all the time (and R/W issues for that matter); you just don't hear about them typically

Wow, the old plans are posted too (1925, 1948 and 1980): http://www.plancincinnati.org/pages/library.htm

Its still there..when they three-laned that section Of I-71, they removed the old RR overpass, lowered the elevation of I-71 and constructed the box culvert for the future trail

Here is the tunnel under I-71: http://www2.dot.state.oh.us/sfn/images/Dist.6/fay/2401908/2401908.htm#2401908

FYI - Relocated SR32 Typical:

The road will not be I-74 or a Freeway, and that restriction is legislated by being included in the NEPA documents (In the Record of Decision)

And OKC is the largest city that is not a consolidated City/County government

Minor nit, I think Juneau, AK is the nation's largest city by land area.

Is that great hall exposed much to the elements?

That include all income tax receipts from the Blue Ash; which include non-resident workers (via reciprocity). There are a lot of workers in Blue Ash that commute from the northern townships and counties. I also was pointing out how much income tax is received per resident; Blue Ash has nice facilities for a city of its population size
