Buses aren't proven to increase nearby property values like fixed rail does. If anything bus stops are viewed as negatives. And public transportation is never profitable. Not in NYC, not in Europe, nowhere. Those that expect the streetcar to be profitable are people with zero knowledge of how public transportation works.

The fact that a traffic study hasn't been done in decades is just idiotic from countless mayors and councilmen/women. Since the last traffic study all of these things and more have happened downtown: Rebuild of FWW, creation of the banks, moving fountain square, development of OTR, creation of Great American tower, addition of the streetcar, creation of government square, development of the casino, ect.
You think the traffic patterns from the early 90's are the same as what people are doing today? The study would make getting around downtown faster and safer for everyone. Drivers, pedestrians, bus riders and streetcar riders. But hur dur the streetcar is dumb so a traffic study isn't needed.

Well this thread went down the tubes in quick order, didn’t it?
I’m certainly not surprised that the games are being moved. I think they were just be used as leverage to try and get SOMEBODY to invest in that dump, and that they probably had Indy in mind as a backup all along.
No reason to believe that either the city or the county will ever be that somebody either. Prediction.....There will be an new arena in NKY before the riverfront one is ever redone completely.

Have fun paying a toll to come to Cincinnati to work, and watch our bad teams play.

Any school that wants to host NCAA Tournament games is nuts.
