Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad could be extended to Cleveland

Why it matters: The ambitious and long-discussed plan could ultimately connect the urban core — in a city where more than 22% of residents don't have access to a personal vehicle — to 22,000-acre Cuyahoga Valley National Park.

By the numbers: The scenic railroad runs 26 miles from Akron to Rockside Road in Independence.

• The planned extension would bring the line an additional 10.8 miles to downtown.

🥲 Sam's thought bubble: I'm tearing up thinking about multiple train lines running out of Tower City.

• In any case, a feasibility study for a beloved railroad extension makes a hell of a lot more sense than a feasibility study for the hyperloop.
