Proud that our organization has recently been named to @BusinessCourier 's Inaugural Power 25 list. An amazing group effort by all involved to advocate for reconnecting the Urban Core of Cincinnati with the Brent Spence Corridor project.

“You’ve got to tell them to get moving on it,” Boland said. “Take the zoning lid off. I hope you start conversations. Let’s get out of our own way.”

Grass-roots groups helped the city of Cincinnati persuade ODOT to change the design of the $3.6B Brent Spence Bridge project to reclaim 10 acres of interstate for development, extending downtown westward.
Now the city is planning for how to use it.

Fantastic community engagement session for the Revive 75 project. Planning for future of Queensgate, Camp Washington & around eastern side of Mill Creek. This work plus our Experience Mill Creek & $ for Downtown Plan = exciting future for our urban core w/housing & amenities.
New letter campaign!

A lot has changed in Cincinnati since 2011, and in Queensgate that change has meant vacant buildings, empty lots and stagnation. It's time to remove the constraints of 1960s thinking and allow a new direction for this area so close to downtown.
The City of Cincinnati has started the process of updating the 2011 Revive Cincinnati plan.
This plan focuses on future economic development and land use surrounding the I-75 Corridor. This is extremely important for the future of our city, especially in the case of Queensgate.
Queensgate, as many know, is a mid century light industrial park built on the remains of what was once a dense neighborhood similar in style and architecture to Over The Rhine.
60 years after the razing was completed, its obvious Queensgate is a failure.
"Accommodating two-way traffic, pedestrian-friendly sidewalks, and ramps that align with this vision...
Taking these final steps will be instrumental in addressing historic injustices and paving the way for a brighter, more connected future for Cincinnati’s urban core."

Three-tier mission for what some know as the Signature Street Concept. Cincinnati City Council will consider a plan leading up to Brent Spence Bridge Project:
1. Reclaim lost land from I-75
2. Reconnect Queensgate-Downtown-West End
3. Realize investment in forgotten areas
Our Brent Spence vision was one of great transformation. The plan that ODOT/KYTC engineers released have transformational changes.We will continue to advocate for as much land reclamation, street grid creation, and connectivity that can be delivered with this generational project
A good question!!!
Questions I’m probably too chicken to ask @AftabPureval if there is a Q&A after his presentation with Peter Calthorpe @CalAnalytics Thursday morning at #CNU24:
1) When are you planning to make Bridge Forward’s Fort Washington Way II plan part of your policy?
2) Skincare routine?
