like summer has brought in a season of exploring and openness to thinking about
creating a regional transportation system for central Ohio - something broader
and yet inclusive of streetcars. We could be looking at more transit, more bike
trails, passenger rail, etc.
I'm curious how this concept resonates with the group and also encourage
everyone to listen to Open Line on WOSU 820am tomorrow, July 8 at 10am. The
topic to be discussed is the present and past of mass transit in Central Ohio,
with Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission (MORPC) Executive Director Chester
Jourdan, Central Ohio Transit Authority (COTA) President and CEO and Ohio
Public Transportation Association (OPTA) President William Lhota, and Columbus
City Council Member Maryellen OโShaughnessyโ.
Open Line is a live, public affairs talk show, with listener phone calls, on
WOSU public radio. Open Line is streamed live, podcast and archived at
www.wosu.org/radio/radio-open-line.
The format of Open Line is a conversation between the host and his guests for
the first 20 minutes to lay groundwork for the discussion. Then the show opens
the lines to callers. You can also email questions to <email obscured>.
Please share this email with others. It would be great to get some good,
thoughtful and helpful questions to the show.
And also some good, thoughtful, helpful comments here at CORIF.
