Kennedy Connector Proposed Routing Change

Anyone who resides, works or visits the Oakley North area of this community is concerned about the proposed roadway known as the Kennedy Connector. This roadway will connect the current shopping area of Center of Cincinnati and the proposed developments of Mid Town Centre and Millworks more directly to I-71. Up until mid November the City of Cincinnati’s Department of Transportation and Engineering was proposing to widen Ibsen Avenue from the Center of Cincinnati across Ridge Road through the former Precision Industrial manufacturing site to Kennedy Avenue. 8read more

Cincinnati Neighborhood Business Districts United Awards Grant to Oakley Community

After months of planning and meetings, on June 8, 2007 the Oakley Business District Advisory Committee (OBDAC) submitted an application requesting the approval of $600,000 for the community of Oakley to provide traffic and safety improvements to Oakley Square. On July 27, 2007 the OBDAC received information that the request for $600,000 has been awarded to the Oakley neighborhood. The OBDAC committee,
chaired by Skip Allen of Allen Builders, is represented by business owners, property owners, members of the Oakley Community Council and Oakley residents.

The application that was submitted detailed the oppressive traffic situations that occur on a daily basis in the area of Oakley Square. Anyone who travels through the Oakley Square corridor is familiar with the frustration experienced in navigating through the maze created at the intersection of Madison Road, Isabella, Markbreit and Allston Avenues. The traffic flow through this area has been counted at 15,000+ cars per day. Some of the improvements that will be achieved as a result of this project are expansion of the Geier Esplanade to slow traffic as it enters Oakley Square, installing "bump outs" to narrow crosswalk distances and increase pedestrian friendliness, removal of the traffic island at Isabella, and sidewalk and curb extension in front of
the Oakley Eye Associates around the corner to Isabella.
