Interstate 75 Focus Area Study HIA

Interstate 75 (I-75) is a major north-south transportation corridor that bisects the City of Cincinnati.  Infrastructure improvements to I-75 by the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) have been planned and include adding one lane in both directions of the interstate and the replacement of the Brent Spence Bridge.  The City of Cincinnati became more actively engaged in the future of this corridor by developing a comprehensive plan for selected neighborhoods adjacent to I-75.  The study makes recommendations for economic development and redevelopment, neighborhood investment, green initiatives, transportation infrastructure and transportation modes and urban design. Urban Design Associates (UDA) of Pittsburgh, PA was chosen by the City of Cincinnati to produce the final plan recommendations.  The plan became known as Revive Cincinnati: Neighborhoods of the Mill Creek Valley and the four focus areas are adjacent to the interstate and they are Mitchell Avenue Interchange, South Cumminsville / Northside Interchange, Hopple Street Interchange and Queensgate /Central Business District.
