Everyone, Please see all the updates from Rob Thanks, Kathy ________________________________ From: Neel, Robert (neelrt) [mailto:neelrt@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, August 11, 2010 7:06 AM To: undisclosed-recipients Subject: CUF email 081110 Hello, fellow CUFites. August is here. Friendly reminder about no general meeting for August so enjoy some well-deserved vacation. A few news-worthy atachments for your reading pleasure. Many exciting things in the works, but a special one as far as the streetcar. Bring the Streetcar into our Neighborhood!! As you may have seen, the Enquirer posted the following article http://news.cincinnati.com/article/20100804/NEWS0108/8050358/Streetcar-No-going-back-now which essentially confirms that the Streetcar will in fact happen and that when it does it will come to the Uptown. The only question being debated at this point is how (West Clifton or Vine) and based on a meeting with the City Manager last week, that decision will be occurring sooner rather than later. With that in mind, it is important that we mobilize as individuals and and as groups and ask that they communicate our desire to the City Administration. You can be sure that the advocates for Vine Street will be doing a similar letter writing campaign and given the apparent short window of time before a decision is made, I think it's important that we do this now. If you agree, I would like to ask that you communicate your position to the City in your own words. Several documents are attached that may provide useful information in making those points, but I think it's best that each communication be individual and not a form letter. Any communications should be directed via email or mail to: Milton Dohoney, City Manager City of Cincinnati - Office of the City Manager 801 Plum Street, Rm 152 Cincinnati, OH 45202 milton.dohoney@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Michael Moore, Director City of Cincinnati - Department of Transportation & Engineering 801 Plum Street, Rm 450 Cincinnati, OH 45202 michael.moore@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Our organizations (CUF, CHIA, CHBA, CHCURC) have made our collective position known, but the individual letters can only help drive the point home. Let me know if you have any questions. Please also cc: me on any emails or letters so I can keep a running tab. I will be approaching anyone I can for advocacy.
