Reeling from multiple blows this week, Cincinnati's streetcar project is knocking at death's door. County Commissioner Todd Portune wasted no time grieving before before making a play for its funding.
At Wednesday morning’s Hamilton County commission meeting, Portune suggested that the county seek part of the money to begin building long-planned decks over Fort Washington Way. The decks, which would connect Second and Third Streets, could be used for commercial development or as green space.
That's just what we need while struggling to cover basic services: more non-revenue-producing space that costs money to water, landscape, mow and patrol. Let the dead rest in peace.
Does finney share any of those legal fees with you from the frivolous lawsuits?
ReplyDeleteOppose anything that tries to make Cincinnati better. Instead of beautifying downtown or creating space where businesses can open up, we'd rather see that money go to Kasich's home county.
ReplyDeleteTodd Portune is irrelevant. In fact, he's so irrelevant that I think I'm going to spend the next 2 years making multiple comments on his campaign blog
ReplyDeleteThis is rich. I love to see trollyites cannabalizing themselves in their panic over their streetcar loss. Say, that reminds me. How many feet of track have been laid Gordon?
ReplyDeleteBut we won Issue 9! That means we're getting the streetcar and 3-C rail, doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of carcass, is it true that Jason Haap will be laid off from his job at Princeton High School at the end of the school year?
