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 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.

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

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?

Undoing this is hard. But groups like @BridgeForwardC are trying to do it.
Relate the connections, update the zoning and watch what can happen.

It will never not be crazy to me that the lifeless hellhole that is 75, the 6th st Expressway and queensgate replaced this magnificent tapestry of the Lower West End
As much as possible.... ANY design of the BSB Corridor needs to accommodate a rebirthed Lower West End.

Follow @AllAboardOhio and @BridgeForwardC as they work to fix this. Two tremendous organizations that need our help!

This can be rectified with a full strretgrid on both sides and a rightsized corridor for half of the inflation adjusted cost of the original interchange. This plan is fully engineered and studied from Kaskaskia Engineering. It's now or never.

Tell Council and the Mayor you want a resolution supporting a rightsized Brent Spence Corridor.

What’s that thing Butch Cassidy’s says? “Boy, I got vision, and the rest of the world wears bifocals.”
Ideas like @Chaswied thought process and vision show cincinnatians visualize something more than an area dominated by cars, they want an area for people, one that is welcoming and not a barrier. As a city cincinnati needs to speak up as one voice and demand a rightsized corridor.
