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

What happens to a state’s budget and economy once a state-supported passenger rail corridor is up and running? We looked at five years of comparative MoDOT economic impact data (2021 vs. 2026) for the Missouri River Runner—and the numbers offer a real-world case study for Ohio.

Having a train that takes you directly to the airport is genuinely one of the top 10 things a city can offer. No expensive taxis, no sitting in traffic, no begging someone to drop you off. Just get on the train and arrive at the airport. Every major city should have this.

Pennsylvania is increasing the frequency of their daily Amtrak service between Pittsburgh and NYC November 18th, there are still THREE Midwestern Amtrak routes with only 1 daily round trip, 2 of which are in Michigan. Midwest needs more rolling stock and more frequent service!!!

Heading to BLINK Oct. 8–11? With the event spanning more than 30 city blocks, your usual Metro route may take a different path. Check the detour maps below to plan your ride and use the Transit app to track your bus in real time.

Cincinnati firms chosen to plan next steps on reviving subway tunnels

A feasibility study coming out early 2027 will determine how much it will cost to revive Cincinnati's subway tunnels and what the city could do there.

Nearly every major city in the country had subway proposals that dwarf anything built and proposed today, and it’s sad we’ve lost that vision.

How are we even calling this BRT? Mixed traffic isnt RAPID at all. This is unacceptable. We need our council members to sound the alarm – at Cincinnati, OH

Today is the 10th Anniversary of the Cincinnati Streetcar. The streetcar is one of the top performing transit routes in our region, but we can drive additional investment along the line grow ridership even more by making these low-cost, high impact improvements.

The property is now slated for a multimillion-dollar renovation. “The goal is to modernize the hotel without losing what makes it distinct: the site, the river and the role it has played in this community.” bizjournals.com/cincinnati/n…

Developer acquires riverfront hotel, plans $6M+ renovation

Florence-based Athena Hospitality closed on the acquisition of the Courtyard by Marriott in Covington and plans a $6 million to $7 million renovation.

A person hit by a car at 25 MPH gets bumps & bruises. A person hit by a car at 40 MPH (15 over) gets a funeral. Most people don't yet understand the impact of speed. Marketing campaigns should be part of any Vision Zero action plan.

Hyde Park, Oakley, and Columbia Tusculum residents should be demanding these type of bioswale curb extensions on their streets. Especially near areas prone to flooding, large swaths of impervious paved surfaces (parking lots) and near their business districts.

In Hoboken, by 2024, they built 47 rain gardens to not only mitigate flooding, some of the largest of which can detain up to 26K gallons of rainwater, but also to double as curb extensions as part of their Vision Zero efforts! Hoboken hasn't had a traffic death since 2017!

Did you know BART has been installing bioretention areas, often called “rain gardens,” at stations across the system? These landscaped areas are designed to slow, capture, and naturally filter stormwater, removing pollutants like harmful hydrocarbons, heavy metals, and debris. #EarthDay

Michigan is the latest state to update its building code to allow single-stair buildings up to 4 stories, joining Colorado, Texas, Montana, and others that have adopted the reform to make it easier to build more diverse housing types. @legalizehomes

Last year some regrettable cost cutting decisions were made about foodborne pathogen testing, ending 28 years of screening for cyclosporiasis and quickly catching and quenching several outbreaks. Now we still have no idea what the source of this outbreak is. This is the price!!!

CDC cuts back foodborne illness surveillance program The CDC's FoodNet program has reduced required surveillance from eight foodborne pathogens to two, a move some experts warn could leave the country more vulnerable to outbreaks. cidrap.umn.edu/foodborne-dis…
