The bike hub sounds cool. With our great trails, I would like to see more things like that built.
I've already been cycling up to and through Austin Landing...in fact have done some shopping @ the Kroger there via bike. This could potentially be somewhat a new thing...a suburban shopping/office complex that accomodates bikes as part of the site planning (they are not quite there yet, but it IS nice to have a dedicated bikeway designed into the I-75 interchange)...and RTA has a little circulator bus that runs out there too, now.

Actually, that bus is part of the Miami Village route 61, which used to be 60. I'm surprised Springboro isn't throwing a fit about it, being so close to their border

I consider this to be big news, and it's behind the paywall:

Fairborn, WSU seek to create

Traffic calming measures are going to be installed on Col. Glenn to encourage pedestrian traffic across the street to the stores, restaurants, and businesses on the other side. This will go a long way towards making WSU feel more like a residential college.

Making WSU "feel" more like a college is much needed.

Bus 60 is the shuttle that goes from the south hub to the 'burg. I used it for bike riding as it saves me a slog up the hill from the river (though that new Medlar bikeway is do-able by me if Im feeling good that day).

Im thinking there was some sort of Miami Village shuttle, and I think X5 used to run a deviation down there, too, on certain runs.

WSU is perhaps one of the most depressing college campuses that I have experienced (there are are a few in California that are pretty bad, too, but they have a lot of nice landscaping that "softens the blow" of banal/harsh modern architecture). One of the ways Dayton sux. The major public college is basically done-up as a....suburban office park?

To have a blank slate to create a college campus and they came up with something as mishmash and banal and inhumane as WSU. Man, what a missed opportunity!

It will take a LOT of infrastructure/landscape architecture interventions to fix that mess (and that includes it's splendid isolation from its surroundings).

Bus 60 used to be Miami Village til 61 was added a few years ago. Trust me, I know somebody out that way. You are mistaken.

It is interesting how bad WSU's campus is when UD's is so great. They didn't have to go far to figure out how to do it right.
