During a seven week period in March and April of 2016, the staff hosted twelve public listening sessions at various public and private venues. The sessions were held from 6:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at the following locations: Thursday, March 17, 2016 Wednesday, March 23, 2016 William Henry Harrison High School Delhi Township Glen Carder Lodge Harrison, Ohio 45030 Green Township, Ohio 45238 Monday, March 28, 2016 Wednesday, March 30, 2016 Woodlawn Community Center Civic Garden Center Woodlawn, Ohio 45215 Cincinnati, Ohio 45206 Tuesday, April 5, 2016 Wednesday, April 6, 2016 Anderson Center Sayler Park Recreation Center Anderson Township, Ohio 45230 Cincinnati, Ohio 45233 Tuesday, April 12, 2016 Thursday, April 14, 2016 Colerain Community Center Green Township Nathanael Greene Lodge Cincinnati, Ohio 45251 Green Township, Ohio 45248 Wednesday, April 20, 2016 Thursday, April 21, 2016 College Hill Recreation Center Clark Montessori Cincinnati, Ohio 45224 Cincinnati, Ohio 45208 Monday, April 25, 2016 Wednesday, April 27, 2016 Rhinegeist Blue Ash Recreation Center Cincinnati, Ohio 45202 Blue Ash, Ohio 45242 Public Outreach (Appendix A) Staff and volunteers distributed 500 posters throughout Hamilton County including guest areas of all park facilities and local businesses in the communities of the twelve session locations. Over 187,000 subscribers were reached through print ads and an additional 15,900 through e-newsletters and web page views. Each listening session was posted through multiple social media platforms and over 12,500 targeted Facebook users were reached through boosted posts. Through local TV and radio channels, the sessions received 16 mentions including four interviews with Jack Sutton, Executive Director. Page 1 of 2 Public Engagement (Appendix B, Appendix C, Appendix D) A total of 250 guests attended the sessions and generated over 800 individual comments through discussions with staff and comment cards. An additional 137 guests provided feedback online through the dedicated comment section on the public listening session web page. The staff regularly engages the public for feedback through program evaluations, various activity/event based surveys, focus groups and in-park surveys. The staff worked with Fallon Research & Communications on more custom and specific surveys in 2014 and 2015. The most recent telephone survey completed in September 2015 focused on awareness and guest satisfaction and was conducted with 400 randomly selected Hamilton county residents. Overall, 74% of county residents reported they had visited a Great Park within the last year and 91% feel parks define quality of life in their community. Public Interaction The public was encouraged to come out and share their thoughts, ideas and questions about Great Parks. The informal, open-house style meetings provided an opportunity to interact one-on-one or in small groups with staff who represented various parks and departments across the park district. This interaction provided an opportunity for high quality conversations and generated very positive feeback from the guests. The sessions were divided into five stations including four representing the pillars of our vision – Conservation, Discovery, Connections and Partnerships. A Naturalist attended each session with a bird of prey and provided impromptu programming and photo opportunities for guests, especially children. Public Outcomes (Appendix E) A presentation of the outcomes based on public input and comments will be provided at the May 19, 2016 Board meeting including a printed copy of the full report and appendixes for Public Reach, Public Engagement and Public Interaction.

  • Miami Valley Cycling Summit Communities Directory
    MIAMI VALLEY CYCLING SUMMIT COMMUNITIES DIRECTORY 1.1. INTRODUCTION This Cycling Directory provides a review and assessment of existing bicycle facilities in the Miami Valley Region and the organizations that help make the facilities possible. The directory defines various bicycle infrastructure types, including on- and off-street facilities. A discussion of the existing bikeway system follows with a review of facilities in each of the four counties in the Region. The directory takes a look at other bicycle infrastructure components, including signage, end-of-trip facilities, and multi-modal connections, and then briefly summarizes existing programmatic efforts to encourage bicycling. 1.2. EXISTING BIKEWAYS The following sections describe existing bikeways in the Miami Valley region, discussing statewide and regional bikeways followed by an overview of bikeways within each of the Counties in the Region. Shared use paths comprise the vast majority of the Region’s existing bikeway network. The Miami Valley benefits from a comprehensive and generally well-connected trail system that has developed over time. In response to the devastating 1913 floods, the Miami Conservancy District (MCD) was formed and charged with developing a flood control system. The flood control channels along the Great Miami River and other waterway corridors now carry an extensive trail system. In 1978, the first eight-mile trail loop was developed in downtown Dayton, and today, the area boasts over 200 miles of trails. 1.2.1. NATIONAL AND STATEWIDE TRAILS IN THE MIAMI VALLEY Portions of the Miami Valley’s bikeway system serve as elements of designated national trails, described below. NORTH COUNTRY NATIONAL SCENIC TRAIL Officially designated in 1980, the North Country National Scenic Trail passes through seven states, including North Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New York.
