Yeah, I always thought it would be cool to run light rail from Cincy's Airport to Dayton's airport, and run it through the core cities along with downtown Hamilton and downtown Middletown. It could also include some more walkable suburbs like Oakwood, Glendale, Mt. Adams, and Wyoming, and also run by the Cincy Zoo, UC, Xavier U., Cincy Gardens, Eden Park, Cincy Mills, Lesourdsville Lake (with a substantial redo, of course!), Towne Mall/ Atrium Hospital, Springboro/Settler's Walk, Lexis/Nexis, Dayton Mall, Cox Aboretum, the GM Moraine site, Sunwatch, Carrilon Park, the University of Dayton, Boonshoft Museum, and Miller lane. There could also be a branch that ran from Downtown Dayton to the Air Force Museum/ Wright State/ Mall at Fairfield Commons/ Wright-Patt, and also a branch that ran from Downtown Cincy along 71 to Kenwood, fields ertel, and Kings Island area.

Don't know if that's the plan, but I think it would work well.

Light rails is WAY WAY too slow to go from airport to airport. Commuter rail is a must between the 2 cities.

We dont and we never will or should. Cincy is a commuter city, this aint NYC. If you want to live here you need to have a car or a lot of patience with the Metro Bus schedule.

Oh... whoops!

I must have been off in la-la-land when I posted this, becuse I was thinking this was about a mass-transit, subway-ish type of deal for some reason. Sorry about that!

Light rail was started to be set up along Blue Ash Road, hence the big crossing at Galbraith
and Blue Ash. Never came to fruition. Willie Cunningham said he could drive downtown, being
that he lives in this area faster than taking the Light Rail which never happened with all the pre-expense work they did. There is no future for LR in Cincinnati. Look down 71 and see the construction going on right now starting at McMillan coming north.
That is a gateway project to get the inner city, poorer segment out to the Kenwood Area, just like they did Tri-County. What a sham and humongous expense that I think we will all pay for and
watch it collapse.
