It’s happening! Join us Saturday, February 17 at 11am to celebrate 12 years of @CincySiOS! We’ll walk from Mt Auburn to Camp Washington via stairways and alleys, many of which we’ve impacted together. Link: facebook.com/share/iutVcDD95…

The route is strategically located near @cincinnatimetro Route 31, so people can return to where we start. The walk from the 31 back to Flatiron Cafe is 14 minutes, so please plan accordingly.

January 5, 2024 marks the conclusion of a 11-year long push to see the most incredible walking landscape in Cincinnati REOPEN to the public. Closed since 1995 & barricaded sometime after, hundreds improved these connections to the Wendell Alley Steps with us since February 2012.

City work on the Wendell Alley Steps commences! Also, very impressed with evolution of North Wendell Alley, leading from Rice St via St. Joe Al to the top of the stairs. It’s been converted from an overgrown alley w/deteriorated asphalt into a fully accessible pedway with SMP.

Very soon, we’ll tell you the story of this amazing project that’s been near 12 years in the making. It’s at the very foundation of why we were founded and why we continue to do this work. Vine Street Hill & its walking connections continue to improve, better than in decades.

We’re grateful for @WeMoveCincy’s full replacement of the Brighton Place Stairway (Step ID 018)! It now features stable treads, a bicycle runnel(!!!), and an improved @CincyParks greenspace to the west. As of Black Friday, only handrails and 101’s need to be installed.

Join us Saturday at 11am, as we’ll clear the last section of debris in (South) Wendell Alley in Mount Auburn. This is in prep for @WeMoveCincy and @prusconstruct working to reopen the Wendell Alley Steps! Meet at 2200 Loth. We’ll bring the cider.

Did you know that a handful of public stairways in Cincinnati are sidewalk steps, designed to make it easier to scale inclined streets? A portion of our once-400 stairway count has been converted to sidewalks, due to the relative ease of access to sidewalk funding over steps.

Beginning in late November or early December, @prusconstruct and @CityOfCincy will begin work on improvements to St. Joe Alley and the Wendell Alley Steps in Mount Auburn. This will lead to a full stairway opening for the first time since 1995. Long awaited!

The public steps known by @WeMoveCincy as the Brighton Place Steps are structurally COMPLETE! Replacement of the steps takes about a month, but concrete work appears done. *Bike runnels* have been incorporated! We urged city staff to make this consideration, as many inquired.

Looks like the colloquially jammed Brighton Place Steps now has a bike runnel! After relaying a few requests to @WeMoveCincy, it appears that the desire to have a bike facility there was factored into the design. Photos by Matt Jacob

Monday, Over-the-Rhine Community Council voted unanimously to support the following items: (a) officially name the public steps from Central Pkwy to W McMicken as “Brighton Place Steps”, (b) close 87 feet of Peete Alley to vehicles, by utilizing planters, from Vine to its bend!

The former objective aims to give the stairway identification signage that supports its current reconstruction. The latter aims to preserve the cobblestone restoration project we completed earlier this year, preserving the corridor connection for walking and biking. @WeMoveCincy
