There are four pro- posed areas of intervention: (A) Armleder Park Connection, (B) Murray Trail Connection, (C) Mariemont Trail Connection and (D) Transit Hub Connection. Each area of interven- tion has 4 options for alignments with the exception of the Transit hub connection which has two. The existing trails, Armleder Park and Lunken Airport, are notated in light green.

  • Burnet Woods Connectivity
    Burnet Woods Connectivity Nicole Dibble Stephanie Godsey Bernadette Riddle Kelly Seibert Victoria Werth Abstract Burnet Woods is a forested park located in Clifton and surrounded on all sides by the University of Cincinnati, Good Samaritan Hospital, the historical Gas Light District, as well as other businesses, restaurants and attractions. The park is extremely underutilized. Over the years it has acquired a negative reputation for being unsafe, unkempt and unorganized. Interest in renovating the park has sparked in the nearby community and local businesses. Unfortunately the different parties cannot come to an agreement on exactly how the park should be renovated. There are some groups in the community that are against the renovation completely. In this paper we will discuss the transit issues inside, outside and in the area around the park. We will determine a compromise in the hopes of satisfying the majority of the wants and needs of all involved parties. In favor of many of the residents, we will preserve the current park atmosphere of a quiet, forested green space while also making improvements to make the park more accessible and visitor friendly. ii Table of Content Introduction………………………………………………………………………………………………………..1 Background………….…………………………………………….…………………………..……….…………..7 Existing……………………...……………………………………….……………………….……….……………..9 Proposal…………………….………………………………………………………………………………….…..14 Case Studies………………………………………………………………………………………………………18 Deliverables………………………………………………………………………………………………………21 Conclusion………………………………………………………………………………………………………..22 References………………………………………………………………………………………………………..23 iii Introduction Since 1872 Burnet Woods has served the surrounding neighborhoods as a recreational green space.

  • Carol Ann's Carousel on the Riverfront Opens
    Carol Ann's Carousel on the Riverfront opens Rick Pender, WCPO Contributor 10:18 AM, May 15, 2015 1:03 AM, May 17, 2015 New riverfront attraction draws hundreds of kids. CINCINNATI -- Carol Ann’s Carousel, the central attraction of Smale Riverfront Park, opened Saturday following an 11 a.m. ribbon-cutting ceremony. Rides, which usually will cost $2 for two-and-a-half minutes, are free on the carousel's opening day from 1 to 7 p.m. From noon to 5 p.m., visitors can enjoy free cake and ice cream, as well as street performers and other food vendors. The carousel will be open year-round, though hours will vary by season. Through Labor Day, you can ride 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday. The carousel is housed in a 70-by-90-foot glass structure built for it at the foot of Vine Street on a tree-lined plaza. Surrounded by playgrounds, a family-sized porch swing, gardens, boat landings, a bike path, restaurants and an event lawn, the playful merry-go-round is named for philanthropist Carol Ann Haile. Haile and her husband, Ralph, left a legacy that has been improving the quality of life in Cincinnati for a decade. "The sparkle, whimsy and pure fun it provides are a direct reflection of Carol’s sparkling personality," said Tim Maloney, the Haile Foundation's president. The carousel was a gift to the Cincinnati Parks Foundation. The carousel project -- figures, paintings, lights and installation -- cost $1 million, and the building housing it cost $4.5 million.

  • Forest Vegetation in Hamilton County, Ohio: a Cluster Analysis and Ordination Study
    FOREST VEGETATION IN HAMILTON COUNTY, OHIO: A CLUSTER ANALYSIS AND ORDINATION STUDY William S. Bryant and Michael E. Held † ABSTRACT. —Twenty mature, relatively undisturbed forests in Hamilton County, Ohio were systematically sampled and subjected to cluster analysis. Based on those results eight forest types were identified. These included: silver maple-cottonwood-green ash or black willow on alluvial floodplains; pin oak-red maple in depressions of floodplains; oak-hickory on well- drained slopes >25%; oak-maple-ash on dissected till plains or ridge and slope complexes; mixed mesophytic with tulip poplar on well-drained till plains; mixed mesophytic without tulip poplar on loess or colluvium; maple-ash-beech on residuum, colluvium or well-drained till plains of Illinoian or Wisconsin origin; and beech-maple on lacustrine and loess deposits. Geology, especially the glacial history, soils, topography, and disturbance history appear to influence tree species community patterns. Introduction Dr. E. Lucy Braun began her classic studies of forest ecology in southwestern Ohio, in particular, Hamilton County or the Cincinnati Region (Braun 1916, 1936, 1950). Geologically, Hamilton County is at or near the terminus of the Nebraskan, Kansan, Illinoian, and Wisconsin glacial advances (Ray 1974). Phytogeographically, the county is in Braun’s (1950) Western Mesophytic Forest Region, but near the junction of her Mixed Mesophytic, Oak-Hickory and Beech-Maple Forest Regions or Kuchler’s (1964) Oak-Hickory, Mixed Mesophytic, and Beech-Maple Forests. Braun (1916) and Diehl (1933) considered topography and soils as two of the most important factors in determining forest types and distribution in Hamilton County. However, bedrock geology and the glacial deposits may have a major influence on local vegetation patterns (Braun 1950, Forsyth 1970).
