One of four proposed designs for a revamp of Central Parkway between Plum and Liberty Streets.

City of Cincinnati Transportation officials publicly released four designs for the Central Parkway Reimagined Project late August, with the goal of using the public's feedback to meet the city's objectives and consider the needs and concerns of residents.

The four designs were inspired by a nearly century-old, pedestrian-friendly layout of Central Parkway, that would reduce current traffic down from four lanes to two, improve bicycle infrastructure, and expand green space and sidewalks for pedestrians.

On Cincinnati Edition, we'll learn more about the city's goals for the redesign, the next steps in the project, and how this vision will support the residents of Cincinnati for the next hundred years.

The public will have the opportunity to view the four plans now through Oct. 1 and provide their feedback in a 13-question online survey.

Guests:

  • Mark Jeffreys, Cincinnati City councilmember
  • Jeff Stine, City of Cincinnati project manager
  • Michael Williams, owner, Wooden Nickel Antiques (on Central Parkway)
