Central Area Loop Study begins looking at a regional downtown connector.

1 February 2000

The Ohio-Kentucky-Indiana Regional Council of Governments' (OKI) Central Area Loop Study Committee (CALSC) has begun meeting to determine the preferred technology to link Cincinnati, Covington and Newport. The CALSC, which is a separate group from the Sky Loop Committee, is conducting this Major Investment Study (MIS) considering many technologies that may provide the connector needed for our riverfront and downtowns. The technologies under consideration include the Sky Loop, street railways, light rail technology, the Southbank Shuttle, expanded bus service, and others. The Sky Loop Committee worked very hard for several months, along with OKI, Southbank Partners, Covington and Newport, to get this study funded and under way. Chip Tappan and Bill Scheyer represent the Sky Loop Committee on the CALSC.
