Mill Creek Watershed Scenario Project Report Comprehensive Planning Workshop Spring 2010 Niehoff Urban Studio 2008-2010 Mill Creek Watershed Scenario Project Spring 2010 Executive Summary This report is a collective presentation of the studio process undertaken by the University of Cincinnati’s School of Planning 2010 Spring Comprehensive Workshop. The focus of the workshop was the Mill Creek Watershed, a 166 square mile area in southwestern Ohio. The Watershed has reached a critical state due to a multitude of both internal and external factors including industrial flight, environmental degradation, building vacancies, unemployment, auto dependence, and a worsening national economy. While numerous organizations construct and implement plans for the future of the Watershed, a lack of regional collaboration often results in little progress. Over the past century, the Mill Creek brought industry and increased population to the Watershed area. Today, the Mill Creek still remains a valuable natural asset. Urbanization has taken its toll, however, and both water quality and riparian corridor health have suffered. Another area of concern is the loss of population in the City of Cincinnati, and corresponding redistribution to the suburbs. Limited transportation options have worsened this outmigration by encouraging auto dependence. Social and environmental justice issues coincide with declining economic and environmental conditions in the Mill Creek Watershed. Due to its uncertain future, planning in the Mill Creek Watershed requires the consideration of multiple possibilities for how the area will transform. This Workshop used the scenario planning approach to establish four plausible outcomes for the Watershed. Scenario planning seeks to open discussions about how things may unfold, providing the opportunity for individuals and organizations to look beyond their individual plans and concerns for the future. The scenarios were created around an axis meant to delineate four combinations of two circumstances, the state of the national economy and regional governance and cohesion. Choice of these circumstances was driven by the results of deliberation sessions whereby students represented various actors and stakeholders in the Mill Creek Watershed. The horizontal axis represents the national state of the economy, ranging from worsening to improving economic conditions. The national economy is an external variable that cannot be controlled by individuals or organizations in the Watershed. The vertical axis represents the level of regional governance and collaboration within the Mill Creek Watershed. This variable is internal to the Watershed since organizations can influence the extent of collaboration by their University of Cincinnati School of Planning/College of DAAP I Mill Creek Watershed Scenario Project Spring 2010 Mill Creek Watershed Scenario Project actions. Based on the axis, four scenario teams were established to represent each of the four combinations. The four teams are “Green Phoenix,” “Factions Speak Louder than Words,” “The Queen is Dead,” and “Kindness in Crisis.” Each team created a statement of conditions of the Watershed in 2030, with differing outcomes depending on the scenario’s particular position on the axis. Fictional characters and narratives were created to portray each scenario in a relatable way. In addition, each team produced a comprehensive plan extending to 2050, based on 2030 scenario assumptions. The baseline scenario team looked to 2020 and assumed no change in current conditions over the next ten years. This group also created the templates for the final report and poster designs. Also, they compiled the reports from each scenario team to create this comprehensive document. The four scenarios portray varying pictures for the state of the Mill Creek Watershed in 2030. These scenarios give residents and organizations an opportunity to envision plausible futures, rather than moving forward passively. Since the Watershed crosses over multiple jurisdictional boundaries, a regional approach to governance is needed. Interestingly, regional collaboration is the common circumstance shared by “Green Phoenix” and “Kindness in Crisis,” the two scenarios that indicate more hopeful futures for the Watershed. Thus, with regional collaboration, the Mill Creek Watershed has the potential to come together in a united effort to positively shape its future.

Rudyard Kipling, Charles Dickens and others have related stories of when “East is East and West is West” and “A Tale of Two Cities.” Social, economic, and cultural divides may be prevalent in our literature, but they need not guide our lived experiences. Divisiveness is not a predetermined fate. Communities, like the Mill Creek Watershed, retain the power to control and influence the direction of their own futures. The Watershed is currently at a crossroads and faced with an uncertain future. It has steadily declined throughout much of the twentieth century, but through the efforts of many committed governmental and nonprofit organizations, the Watershed can grow in a positive direction. The following report provides an understanding of the current state of the Mill Creek Watershed and outlines four plausible futures. These scenarios are not predictions, rather they are meant to be thought provoking and allow the residents and stakeholders in the Mill Creek Watershed to consider the future of this area, and by translation their own future. History of the Mill Creek Watershed The Mill Creek Watershed (shown in Figure 1 below) occupies 166 square miles within Butler and Hamilton Counties. It includes 43 of the City of Cincinnati’s 52 neighborhoods, several jurisdictions in Hamilton County, the southeast portion of Butler County, and is home to the Mill Creek, one of the most polluted and endangered urban rivers in the United States (Mill Creek Restoration Project). The Mill Creek is not a source of drinking water for the Watershed’s population; however, it empties into the Ohio River, which is one of the Watershed’s primary sources of drinking water. The current state of the Watershed evolved over time, requiring a brief overview of the history of the area in order to gain a full understanding of the existing conditions and the planning process conducted in the Comprehensive Workshop. Figure 1: Map of the Mill Creek Watershed The earliest settlers of the Mill Creek Watershed utilized the area for agricultural purposes and saw 2 Mill Creek Watershed Scenario Project Spring 2010 and gristmills. In order to build the mills, large trees were cut down; this resulted in deforestation and destroyed 85 percent of the original woodland by 1881 (Hedeen 1994, 30). The early economic development of the Watershed also required transportation. The Watershed was an ideal location for river transportation due to its river access and flat topography. Cincinnati’s location on the Ohio River, the advent of the steamboat, and the construction of the Miami and Erie Canals in 1829 helped spur industrial development. The introduction of the canal system to the Watershed increased the Mill Creek’s flow by 35 percent, improving

  • FINANCING REGIONAL RAIL TRANSIT WITHOUT RAISING TAXES April 2018
    FINANCING REGIONAL RAIL TRANSIT WITHOUT RAISING TAXES April 2018 SLIDE 1: Title Slide Let me first take this opportunity to thank you for inviting me to speak to you. When I first introduced the idea of financing rail transit lines without raising taxes to Mayor Cranley 18 months ago, he of course expressed dubious skepticism, but then said “Who could be against that?” Since then, I have launched a new website, growsmartplanet.org, to encourage cities like ours to plan transit-oriented, sustainable growth throughout their regions and finance the new rail and bus rapid transit lines that make it possible – without raising taxes or waiting years for scarce federal funds. I hope you will find this idea compelling and will help me spread the word to everyone needed to help make this new funding approach feasible here. Cincinnati once had 222 miles of streetcar lines that were built much faster – with local funds - than the short downtown streetcar line opened in 2016. If we look closely at why voters did not support the 2002 MetroMoves regional rail and bus transit plan, you will see why I think we should try again now with an even better plan that provides fast, frequent service to all parts of the region. SLIDE 2: Questions that Impact Transit Plans Public officials and transportation planners should seek consensus from diverse groups on questions like these when planning transportation systems. Their answers all impact what modes of transportation they will most likely support. Most people easily agree on just two things: they want someone else to pay for new highways or public transit lines, and they want lower taxes.

  • I-75 in Hamilton County Project Termini
    I-75 in Hamilton County Project Termini Introduction As part of the North South Transportation Initiative (NSTI), capacity improvements were recommended for the I-75 corridor through Hamilton County from the Brent Spence Bridge on the south, where I-75 crosses into Kentucky, to I-275 on the north. The NSTI was a planning study conducted by the Ohio-Kentucky-Indiana Regional Council of Governments (OKI) that evaluated overall transportation needs at a broad level and considered substantial public input. ODOT has also recognized the need for capacity, access, and safety improvements on the I-75 corridor. ODOT’s Highway Safety Program and the Congestion and Safety Initiative both identified major portions of the I-75 corridor for study to address capacity issues and high accident rates. Improvements to the I-75 corridor and its interchanges would be extremely expensive and unlikely to be pursued in entirety within the typical planning horizon of twenty years. According to the OKI Travel Demand Model, of the roughly 160,000 vehicles per day utilizing I-75 in Hamilton County, only about 25,000 (16%) are truly through-trips, with both the origin and destination north of I-275 or south of the Brent Spence Bridge. Therefore, ODOT believes that benefits may be provided to the majority of motorists even if only portions of the corridor are improved at any given time. In other terms, well- defined projects on I-75 within Hamilton County would have independent utility even if the entire corridor were not improved. The NSTI planning study considered the corridor only at a broad level, which did not allow for any detailed examination of needs or the impacts or benefits of any proposed solutions.

  • 6.0 Public Involvement and Agency
    Cincinnati Streetcar Project Environmental Assessment 6.0 PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT AND AGENCY COORDINATION Public outreach activities for the Cincinnati Streetcar project have occurred through the project website, mailings, news articles, meetings and presentations with stakeholders and citizens since 2007. A public involvement program for the Cincinnati Streetcar project was initiated for the Cincinnati Streetcar Feasibility Study (July 2007). The City of Cincinnati will continue to develop and implement this program throughout all phases of the project to keep citizens informed and engaged in the streetcar project. 6.1 Videos and Website The City of Cincinnati developed a video of the proposed modern streetcar, which was distributed throughout the community and posted on www.youtube.com. The City also developed an enhanced streetcar website found at www.cincinnati-oh.gov. This website contains a wide range of information about the streetcar and its benefits to Cincinnati and the region. The website is updated to reflect the latest information associated with the project. 6.2 Mailings The City of Cincinnati distributes project information through mass mailings to citizens within the study area. In February 2011, approximately 6,000 postcards were mailed to citizens and businesses within a three block radius of the streetcar route. This postcard promoted the benefits of the streetcar and provided an opportunity for citizens to sign up for project updates and construction news. 6.3 Community Briefings and Presentations The following is a list
