I was at the groundbreaking ceremony yesterday at Memorial Hall to celebrate a great day for Cincinnati. I'm very excited to see my favorite city begin this process and I have no doubt it will be great for downtown, The Banks, uptown and OTR.

Frankly, naysayers need to live in or spend considerable time in other cities where rail transit is not only a convenience, but a way of life. I lived in the Denver area for years and would routinely use the light rail to get to and from downtown/Coors Field/Avs games, etc. I have no doubt that this will be very popular for those around UC and uptown who want to shoot downtown without their cars.

Congratulations Cincinnati!
