A great book that received little attention outside of the planning world. This guy needs more speaking engagements.

Well thought out article on the front page of the opinion section in @Enquire this morning by @JoshJunker2 - this is the type of discussion that we need to have about what the future of our current 2 mile subway tunnels could be.

Excellent op-ed from @JoshJunker2 on the history and future of Cincinnati's subway tunnels cincinnati.com/story/opinion…

Opinion: City should use empty subway tunnel for its original use - transit

Cincinnati has a window to look toward its future as a truly multimodal city.

The new speed cushions on Beechmont Ave are a drastic safety improvement. Cars were frequently driving 50+ MPH through this intersection, and now they are driving ~25. The @cincinnatimetro bus stop feels a lot safer now! Thanks for prioritizing pedestrian safety, @WeMoveCincy!

This weekend, along with a group of 12 from @AllAboardOhio SW chapter I had the pleasure of taking @Amtrak from Cincinnati to Chicago. This will be a thread 🧵 of my experience taking the #cardinal line

“Highways are racist” is one of those things that’s undeniably true but you do sound kinda insane if someone’s hearing it for the first time

Don't worry, folks. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg is focused on… solving racist bridges, roads, highways, and tunnels.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This clip is from Nov 2021 and is not about the bridge in Baltimore whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/… Buttigieg is referring to the works of urban planner Robert Moses. The book “The Power Broker” portrays him as a racist who purposely lowered overpasses. Whether this was for racist reasons is debated. washingtonpost.com/politics/2021/… en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Power…

So, if the size of highways correlates with the growth of a city and region, why is Cincinnati filled with freeways, while Tokyo, which is 22 times bigger, is not?

ODOT completed a 0.35-mile ramp from 75 to 74 at a cost of $85,000,000. It will take 566 years for gas tax revenues to pay for this "flyover bridge ramp" [Note- if you use the full 5000 ft span from I-75 to the exit at Beekman, the payback period drops to only 210 years]
