Council approves Ohio River Trail Oasis account for 4.5-mile bike and pedestrian project
Summary
Council established a capital improvement project account, supported by an ODOT grant, to acquire rights-of-way for a 4.5-mile section of the Ohio River Trail Oasis. Members praised expected neighborhood economic development and connections between parks and districts.
Council approved an ordinance establishing a new capital improvement program project account for the Ohio River Trail Oasis, supported by an ODOT grant, to fund rights-of-way acquisition for a 4.5-mile bicycle and pedestrian corridor.
Council and committee members described the project's success in catalyzing neighborhood development and improving mobility. Council member comments noted last week’s Lick Run work and said the Oasis connects to Avenue, helping to transform mobility and economic access for neighborhoods. The item passed on roll call after brief discussion of its multi-year planning and regional benefits.
Councilmembers framed the project as part of a larger city strategy to expand active-transportation infrastructure and stimulate local economic development around trails and greenways.
