Downtown merchants oppose canal route for rapid transit loop
Cincinnati businessmen led by George Golde told the Rapid Transit Commission that moving the interurban station off Government Square would harm commerce. They warned the downtown business district bounded by Main Elm Fourth and Eighth streets would suffer and that canal area routing between Walnut and Race would cause confusion and fail to boost business. Adolph Weiss chaired the session and stressed the city’s investment in Cincinnati’s growth. Stacey Hill of Hotel Gibson echoed concerns for the project’s impact on downtown interests.
