From what I understand the reason is that bus routes change. Just ask the business owner who had a steady stream of customers coming from a bus stop and then bam, just like that the bus route changes and the customers stop. A streetcar is a permanent fixture in the street and can't be moved\changed all that easily. So in conclusion, a streetcar is perminate where a bus route is not.

Ya, I would rather it be taller then wider, but we can't always get what we want now can we. On a side note.....I had a dream that P&G released an announcement that they were going to construct a new skyscraper as well.

I'll hopefully be driving down 4th st. today for work, so I'll check it out.

Ummmmm....O.K. good for detroit.

^I don't go to Newport either as much as I did when I first moved here. The only place I really don't mind going to is the Hoff House

Great new and a positive story for once in the enquirer. It would be cool if somehow one of those stories that's in the enquirer posted a link to this message board......On a side note: I hope Marino's bar isn't Pittsburgh themed like the bar in Corryville is. WHO DEY!

Classic bait and switch.

I think a few of us may check it out this weekend. We are all mid-upper 20's.....so I'll report our experience if we go.

^oh cool....I didn't know that.

^When I have thoughts like that, I think about subways in NY or light rail in Baltimore, etc....their is always going to be some element of crime and risk on such ventures. I think the positives will far outway the negatives.

^I was thinking the same thing!

Cool pics.

Looks like another case for someone who wants to write and sell a book to make some money.

I would much rather have roof top access like 4th and Plum. I think more and more condo's downtown should try and include some sort of roof top access with floral and a pool.

I think the long term impact will be far greater then the short term impact.

I can't wait until they start breaking ground for construction!!!

It will be interesting to watch and monitor the state of downtown as the holiday's are now over. On a side note, I heard that the ice rink at FS may stay open longer into the new year due to better then expected sales.

This may seem a little crazy, but maybe between I-75 & I-71 up to 275. Now that would be some dense urban development.

Ate at Palmino's (sp?) last friday and it was packed. We had to wait around 20-25 minutes for a table. This was around 7P.M. Good food.

I like the look of those rows. Reminds me of where I grew up in PA.

Ya that sucks about Ocho Rios, something needs to change if that's the kind of crowd it attracts. Get new owners, new policies, something new.

SimCity - I love that game

I heard a private meeting to discuss announcement was scheduled for 4P.M. on the 14th floor of queen city square I

If the first line isn't the answer, but rather the secondary and tertiary phases are the key....why not build the secondary lines going from UC to downtown and northern KY to downtown first, then build the line downtown once the foot traffic downtown has increased dramatically.

It is just me or what? but I've read in a few different post now that someone has inquired about who is responsible for the structural engineering. Wonder what that's all about?
