“We know about the history. We don’t know what to do about it.” “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.”

Immensely proud of what all of us at Bridge Forward has been able to accomplish. Its one thing to be in the act of accomplishing- Its another to see it play out and get recognition. Thank you to the @BusinessCourier for hosting this event and awarding Bridge Forward the Power 25!

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.

Very impressed with the work @CincyPlanning ,UDA and other partners have done in the Revive Cincinnati plan update. Top notch. The land reclaimed from the BSB turning into an expansion of the Downtown fabric would be transformative, as well as mixed use development in Queensgate!

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.

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.

This planning update will allow the city and the public to fully think of new ways to bridge the chasm between CBD/West End and Queensgate. Tired of it being an industrial wasteland? The public meetings this week are a great opportunity to envision higher and better use of Qgate!

The past few years have been alot of advocacy, community engagement and talking together how to make a once in a generation project create a more connected Cincinnati. The final steps here are not the giant ones- they are the small ones to make good the best. A reconnected core.
"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."

90% of what we have sought to achieve with our advocacy and through state DOT and city officials cooperation has been fulfilled. These final small incremental changes would allow for a city with a reconnected urban core and ameliorate the divide that I-75 created 60 years ago.

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

I took a first stab at creating a list of demands for the day that will soon come when ODOT tells us that the bridge can't budge anymore. There is more to be designed on, around, and underneath this behemoth.

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?
