The Oasis line would span 17 miles between the Riverfront Transit Center in downtown Cincinnati in The Banks area[5] and run east along a combination of existing and new tracks to Milford.[6] After completing the Oasis Line, SORTA plans to create the Wasson Line.[7] Proposed StationsOriginal proposals for the Eastern Corridor includes ten stations:[8]
Further ExpansionIn addition to the Eastern Corridor initial proposals define two other commuter rail corridors: one running west from downtown Cincinnati through Delhi and Cleves to Lawrenceburg, Indiana,[9] and the other running north through West Chester, Middletown, to Dayton.[10] CriticismIn November 2012, citizens of the Mariemont community and Hamilton County publicly objected to the State Route 32 relocation project, one part of the Eastern Corridor Program.[11] Residents of the Mariemont area were outraged when they heard that a corridor under consideration for the relocated SR32 could impact community gardens and parks along the banks of the Little Miami River. The project has also had difficulty starting due to an unusually high budget.[12] The original estimated operating cost of the highway was $18.9 million a year.[12] Currently, the Eastern Corridor Project is in Tier 2 of the planning phase.[13] On 22 January 2013, a community wide meeting was held in Mariemont Village to discuss the status of the State Route 32 Relocation project, as well as objections to the project's proposed routing through Mariemont's South 80 Trails and Community Gardens park. Some of the arguments against the project that were brought up at the meeting were the adverse effects of building a highway through part of historic Mariemont, designated a National Historic Landmark since 2007, as well as ODOT's (Ohio Department of Transportation) failure to take into account the village's National Historic Landmark status, and the boundaries of the protected area, when conducting initial planning; the threat to Native American burial grounds and un-excavated archaeological sites along the proposed routing, the threats of air, sound, and noise pollution that would result from the construction and use of a major highway so close to the village, and threats to the Little Miami River, one of only 156 rivers in the US designated a National Wild and Scenic River.[14] References1. ^1 2 http://easterncorridor.org/ 2. ^{{cite news| url=http://cincinnati.bizjournals.com/cincinnati/stories/2009/04/06/tidbits1.html | first=Dan | last=Monk | title=Cincinnati's Eastern Corridor project picks up speed with $20M stimulus | date=6 April 2009}} 3. ^http://fairfaxohio.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=41&Itemid=1 4. ^{{cite web |url=http://news.enquirer.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070707/NEWS01/707070390/1077/COL02 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20120719212700/http://news.enquirer.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070707/NEWS01/707070390/1077/COL02 |dead-url=yes |archive-date=2012-07-19 |title=All aboard?
