I generally vote for public funding for RTA and such. crabgrass crabmeat crabs crabwise crack crackajack crackdown crackdowns. RTA's least worry is me or people like me.

Make recommendations to provide more transit to more inner city voters within the given budget, not the budget you dream about.īeen doing that for years and will continue to do so. As bad as I complain about terrible operation of rail lines like the Waterfront Line so much so that it discourages people from riding, I've also strongly advocated more bus service for inner city folks who more often don't have access to cars, but where the City is backing highways/boulevards like the Opportunity Corridor as a fast bypass for West Siders to get to Cleveland Clinic jobs while reducing bus service to the bare bones - like no service on important Woodland Ave anymore from E. 55 eastbound through Larchmere into Shaker Hts. are you doing any of these things rather than simply badmouthing the rail service that we have? And also demanding County officials put more pressure on businesses to not relocate to far-away suburbs where there's little to no transit service at all while, also, trying to get RTA to increase service to suburban corridors like Beachwood, Solon and Mayfield Heights. In the early 2000s Ohio, under more enlightened leadership, had prepared studies, then engaged in start-up geared toward a Cleveland-Columbus-Cincinnati (or 3-Cs) passenger rail line. It was to be run by Amtrak and would have included a Dayton station-stop. In fact the FTA had awarded a multi-million dollar grant (I believe was in the hundreds of millions), to get this rail line started, and would have included a rail car and engine building and maintenance facility just east of downtown off the Shoreway.
