Episode #59: 2015 in Review (Part 1)

The former Old St. George Catholic church is being renovated into a new church, Crossroads at Old Saint George.

On the 59th episode of The UrbanCincy Podcast, Travis, Randy, and John discuss a number of developments in the neighborhoods of Oakley, Pleasant Ridge, Uptown, and the Central Business District.

  • Will new businesses like Nine Giant Brewing will help solidify Pleasant Ridge’s neighborhood business district and result in new development in the neighborhood?
  • How does the Oakley Transit Center fit into the anti-urban Oakley Station development as well as Metro’s larger plans for a regional transportation system?
  • Can Uptown diversify its retail to include more than just restaurants?
  • With the Eighth & Sycamore and Fourth & Race projects moving forward, what’s next step in the Central Business District’s development?

Kennedy Connector construction underway

Kennedy Connector construction underway

Construction began this week on the Kennedy Connector, a roadway extension designed to improve access to I-71 from the neighborhoods of Oakley and Pleasant Ridge. The roadway will also provide access to the Oakley Station development now under construction. More from Building Cincinnati:

The first phase of the two-year, $30 million project began in three locations: On Ibsen Avenue, which will be closed between Marburg Avenue and Ridge Road and will be open on weekend afternoons; on Ibsen Avenue between Ridge and Madison roads, which will be closed until crews can install two new water mains later this summer; and at the intersection of Duck Creek Road and Kennedy Avenue, where a temporary roadway is being built so that construction crews can eventually build the new extension of Kennedy Avenue.
