Major policy news: the City of Cincinnati can now lower speeds on all city streets except State Highways! Having worked with DOTE and Law for months, this is a major development - and new tool in the toolbox to make our neighborhoods safer & more vibrant

Cincinnati may have more control over speed limits than previously thought

City officials say a new interpretation of state law allows them to lower the speed limit from 35 miles per hour to 25 miles per hour in some cases.

This is great news for our downtown and a part of a bigger strategy to increase residential housing in our core at all levels (Macy's building being another big one plus several rehabs of vacant buildings in OTR last week approved).

Cincinnati’s Carew Tower to be converted into apartments, condos

The residential conversion is just one of several large adaptive-reuse projects in the pipeline downtown.

The City of #Cincinnati will spend $17M on road repaving this next year. 100% of that is from the general fund. Not $0.01 from gas taxes (or other user fees) 4 city roads. That’s a 100% “subsidy”. Public transit does not get a 100% subsidy in Cincinnati. A little recognized fact.

You could easily remove a lane of traffic on Central Parkway with virtually no impact on motorists. Central Pkwy through downtown has about 12k vehicles per day and 8 lanes. Ludlow through Gaslight Clifton has the same traffic and half as many lanes.

Whether it’s a curbside model or a physical location, we need a downtown hub for Greyhound in #Cincinnati . It used to be at Fountain Sq ⬇️. It needs to be easily located vs the current location in Arlington Heights.

In the US @GreyhoundBus is closing its stations and making its customers wait on the street, bowing to the business model of its upstart competitors. We need a new approach to creating civilized hubs for both local transit and intercity.

Kharkiv in Ukraine has been a @CincySisterCity since 1989. Our thoughts as a @CityOfCincy are with the wonderful people of Kharkiv during this time.

@kylegriffin1 This ruling is devastating. We have seen the impact in CA. It eliminates affirmative action but does not eliminate considering legacy, geography and other factors. It will be a more unequal America.

Dropping affirmative action had huge impact on California’s public universities

When California voters in 1996 rejected affirmative action, CSU and UC could no longer consider race and ethnicity in admissions, making a huge impact on the public universities.

Big news! Cincinnati is the first major city in Ohio to legalize ADUs. It (1) means more housing (2) allows folks to age in place (3) builds homeowner wealth. Thx to my colleagues especially @HeyReggieHarris @KearneyForCincy for their support! Stronger families & neighborhoods

Thank you @WeMoveCincy for thinking of the not so “little” things in the design of Central Pkwy bike lane. This is a cut out on Ludlow for bikes, scooters, etc to safety wait for the light to change to cross into Central Pkwy w/o having to wait in the street. Safer for All!

This is so deeply disturbing and heartbreaking. The vandalizing of 176 gravestones at the Covedale Jewish Cemetery in the past few days does not represent Cincinnati values. We must stand united against this hate in our community. It does not represent us.

We need to unite behind @KamalaHarris as our Democratic Presidential nominee. She has been Vice President and can take on the campaign infrastructure. Most importantly she has earned the right to be the nominee.

Thank you @CMReggieHarris for pulling this together. Visually it is pretty amazing to see. We have 39K off street parking spaces downtown + on street metered parking (which is >60% vacant on average). We don't need more surface parking - there's a better use for that land.

Quite a bit of convo around the downtown parking ordinance my colleague @ccc_jeffreys brought forward and I supported. So, my office put together this map of parking that currently exists downtown... 🧵

1988 - the surface parking lots of the riverfront before Smale Riverfront Park & the Banks. Leadership matters - a more vibrant Cincinnati is possible

Why speeds in residential areas in the City of Cincinnati should be no higher than 30 mph max. Between 30 and 40 mph the chance of getting killed doubles.
