Initiatives
Since returning to City Council in 2007, I have focused on initiatives that will build a strong Cincinnati by enhancing the quality of life in our neighborhoods, building a globally-competitive local economy, and responsibly managing city resources. These efforts include:
Creating Great PlacesBuilding Great Neighborhoods with Form-Based Codes
Creating Great PlacesCincinnati will soon have a new tool to revitalize our neighborhoods using an innovative, community-driven alternative to conventional zoning calledform-based codes. Described as the "DNA of livable communities," form-based codes reinvent conventional zoning to create healthy, vibrant neighborhoods and business districts that accommodate pedestrians, transit and bicycles as well as cars; a range of housing types and businesses; and great public spaces.

Making Great Neighborhoods Great Places by Transforming Our Streets
Streets are the public living rooms of our communities. Neighborhoods around the city, and cities across the country, are recognizing the need to transform our streets, making access for people, not cars, the priority, and creating destinations instead of raceways through town.

Homeless to HomesThe Homeless to Homes initiative should result in a national model that guarantees the highest standards of care for the homeless and includes case management, medical, mental and recovery services, so that homeless men and women can successfully move from homelessness to homes and become productive members of society once again.

Photo: Google Street ViewThe I-75 corridor is one of the busiest in the nation for moving people and goods, and cuts through the heart of our city. The current project to redesign the corridor from the Brent Spence Bridge to I-275 will have a profound impact on our city and the region. Council's Transportation and Infrastructure Subcommittee is working to make sure the project captures the economic development opportunities for the city and the 15 neighborhoods that line the corridor (read more on the Transportation & Infrastructure Subcommittee page).
