A route connecting Cincinnati to my hometown of St. Louis was something I did not see coming for a long time. I am stoked to see this route being considered!! Where does the line form to buy a ticket? Regardless of how long it takes, def would use this several times a year.

Here's your reminder of how far we've come, a before and after of Cincinnati's riverfront 1998-2023. Had we let the highway designers do it alone, they'd have rebuilt the bottom. The central riverfront was every bit as uninspiring as queensgate is today, but look at it now.
Something surreal about listening to the presentations with the iconic overtones of the streetcar door chimes and horn in the background!!

Remember no matter how safe you are while walking or on a bike there is always a non-zero chance a motor vehicle will hit you. Hell, a person gets struck by a car in their own living room or kitchen almost every day!

Imagine getting burnt by SDOT for being car-centric.
IDK who needs to see this, but here's 21 states openly admitting that their planned highway projects will increase greenhouse gas emissions, in a legal filing challenging a federal rule that would require them to tell the public...literally that exact information.
Never fully appreciated the STL Metrolink until after moving away. Excited to see the expansion to Mid America Airport! I'm rooting for you
Yeah um this is a terrible look from @CincyPlanning

Looking forward to what these zoning code updates will bring. This is the first I'm hearing of this, but I'm glad to know this city is looking at it

How nice would a permanent pedestrianization of 5th be??
Time to go all in on mass timber with this dream in that huge lot on 7th and sycamore cincinnatidesignawards.com/entry/cincinna…

It appears we have 2 mass timber buildings in construction... FotoFocus and WVXU!!
Meanwhile in Cincinnati...
I forgot to tweet about this, but the Omaha streetcar broke ground a couple weeks ago. Really excited for Omaha, though if it means anything Council Bluffs Iowa has expressed interest a future expansion. Which is probably good news for the systems future!
Eventually eminent domain will become more expensive than the Texas approach of building double decker freeways to add capacity. Let's hope the citizenry can steer the DOTs into transit thinking before everyone is building double decker freeways

I recently drove from Cincy to Cleveland for a work site visit. The entire time I'm thinking how much I'd like the 3C+D train to exist. I could have been productive during the journey, arrived refreshed, & I'd make more site visits if this rail line was an option

In almost every American city, the minimum number of parking built is mandated by state and municipal ordinances dating back to the 1960s. These antiquated mandates not only rob property owners of choice, but they’re often arbitrary. It's time to end them.
As in, it should be a baseline requirement. Not a "nice to have"

It is said that for a community to be economically self-sustainable, it needs to have a density of 10k people per square mile Only 2 neighborhoods in Cincy are above that: OTR CUF
I also am unsure all 52 neighborhoods need density. But some neighborhoods are prime real estate for it. Queensgate/ West End and downtown all come to mind. Our zoning laws are outdated and broken.
Downtown Cincinnati at Second Street and Vine during the March 1913 Flood. Note the Union Central Tower, which had just been completed. At 495 feet it was the 5th tallest building in the world at the time of this photograph. From the Cincinnati Enquirer Archive at CHPL
The median Cincinnatian is a 32.4 year old, non-white, female renter who makes $31,869 per year, & that is precisely who will benefit from the Connected Communities reforms. Increased housing supply will lower rents & living along transit lines will reduce transportation costs.
I’m visiting Cincy would love to host and organize a tour to see the abandoned subway. If anyone has any leads or idea how I could do this, I’ll buy you chili 😭
Did you know Cincinnati has an abandoned subway? 🧵 Beginning construction in 1920 and halting construction in 1927, the Cincinnati Subway was the victim of political infighting, gross mismanagement, and the Great depression.

What exactly is the hold up with this @CityOfCincy @cincinnatimetro? It only gets to be a better idea every single day. But good lord getting some movement on this is like trying to pour molasses through cheesecloth in Duluth in mid-January.
In 2023, almost 8 million transit riders used routes that run on Walnut [Metro Routes 11, 12, 17, 19, 20, 21, 25, 33, 42X, 43, 46, 52X, 74X, 90 & the Streetcar] More people took transit on Walnut than rode in a car. Adding transit-only lanes will boos ridership even more.
The majority of Cincinnati citizens want a more equitable, sustainable, and vibrant future for our city. We need to show up to the planning commission on May 17 to let them know we support Connected Communities! It's obvious the loud minority who are opposed will show up.
How many dead will it take before our leaders fix the terrible mistake of widening 12th St in Covington? wlwt.com/article/pedest…
