  • Edwards Rd and Wasson Rd Oakley Square Eastern Corridor
    James Weaver Planners Assignment #4 Niehoff Urban Studio Edwards Rd and Wasson Rd Wasson Rd is a connector street that links Rookwood Commons and Hyde Park Plaza. Vehicles attempting to make the left hand turn from Southbound Edwards Rd. to Wasson Rd often back up onto Madison Rd, disrupting signal timing and creating a dangerous situation for cars stranded in the intersection. Creating a median and eliminating the left turn while still allowing full turning movement from Wasson Rd will eliminate this backup and increase traffic flow on Edwards Rd and on Madison Rd. This diagram shows the location of the proposed improvement, as well as possible alternatives to reach Hyde Park Plaza from the North. Improvements to Markbreit Ave in accordance with the City’s plan for Oakley Square could be one alternative to reach this retail destination. Restricting left hand turns from Edwards Rd to Wasson Rd would alleviate the backups onto Madison Rd. This example shows a landscaped island in place of the turn lane, which also makes the existing crosswalk more pedestrian friendly. Oakley Square The City of Cincinnati recently came up with a plan to redesign Oakley Square. Improvements include widening the square and improving pedestrian and auto oriented movement. It also squares up intersections along Madison Rd. Eastern Corridor Improvements The City of Cincinnati has also proposed improvements to the Eastern section of Madison Rd. The road is widened to allow for a bump out for bus passengers to enter and exit safely. The bump outs also allow for motorists to have an increased view of traffic while pulling out of side streets, increasing safety.
