    Actually, it is the other vehicles that create a safety concern for the 17,000 trucks that use the I-75 bridge every day.

    Now is the time for those who drive in this area to get vocal, and do it quickly.

    Hazmat already has to go around the east side. That is a long long way out of the way.

    Back in '87 thru trucks were banned from going through Cincinnati. Talk about a long way around that east side. It seemed to take forever.

    I don't know how long the first ban lasted, but it has happened there before.

    thru trucks will still be permitted, I am sure. Kind of like The Atlanta 400 (yes, I chose a politically correct term for this :) )

    Covington, KY - ah yes, the place where Cincinnati Mayor Jerry Springer learned they accept personal checks for Pro Ho services. This guy should check on the whereabouts of his wife and daughter. Or he could be their pimp on the side.
