Above: This Sketchup rendering of a proposed community recreation center was presented as part of a project to enhance the neighborhoods of Over-the-Rhine and Pendleton. The center features a mix of traditional and modern architectural styles, and would connect to a small park behind it.The rendering in the inlay shows the site as it exists currently, as an underutilized parking lot.

Right: These Sketchup renderings show mixed-use retail and residential buildings in Over-the-Rhine’s historic Main Street business district. They showcase the buildings’ Italianate architectural style and streetscape elements below.

This study of the Lower Price Hill area of Cincinnati is a comprehensive neighborhood planning effort to improve quality of life for residents while accomodating for imminent changes in the economic base of Lower Price Hill.

This page: area connectivity, proposal for a key intersection modification within the site, and the eastern site plan portion, integrated with the existing MetroWest plan.

The plan includes a revamped, walkable and connected park system adjacent to the Appalacian Community Center garden, and new community offices located in repurposed multifamily housing that would provide space for the Lower Price Hill neighborhood association operations as well as classrooms for community workshops.

These measures support other plans including an open-air market and a large site to the east containing office space and a hydroponic agri- and aquacultural facility designed to integrate with the existing MetroWest industrial park proposal.

These transit maps were created in a three-person team of planning students as part of a Livewell Collaborative industrial design studio investigating the possibility of extensive public transportation in Cincinnati. Factors such as existing infrastructure, public right-of-way, and slope feasibility were primary considerations.

The routes were first laid out on a GIS base map of the city and then condensed into a user-friendly map graphic.Fifteen-, 30-, and 50-year potential buildouts were considered; shown to the left is the 30-year plan.

Additionally, individual routes were studied in several focus neighborhoods(facing page).

These framework plans were part of a Neihoff urban design studio project for a comprehensive plan in Covington, KY, showing proposed district connections and intersection improvements at a key city node.

Facing page: Corridor analysis of Madison Street in Covington, includingbusiness inventory and building typology with street sections.

COVINGTON, KY CONCEPT PLAN

The typically narrow sidewalks on the Pike and Main Street corridors necessitate a new approach to streetscape design. Many areas, such as Pike east of Main, have ample space in parking lanes to extend the sidewalk outwards.

Plans for improvements include bioswales for sustainable stormwater management incorporated into curbside bulbs. These would feature flow-through curb drainage to direct runoff into the bioretention elements.

Street trees would also be featured in open-grate bulbs, or on sidewalks when width allows.

New crosswalks in the altered Pike Street interesections of Main and Lee Streets would utilize permeable pavement to further mediate stormwater and to create a clear visual distinction for pedestrian safety.

In higher-traffic areas of Pike Street without ad-equate lane space for curb bulbs, improved sidewalk lighting and potted street plantings would be installed.

These implementations work together to create a system of green infrastructure that is at once effective, attractive, and human-scaled.

Goal: Create a neighborhood gateway at Pike & Main through interconnected public space im-provements, and promote the area as a local destination.

Strategy: At the corner of Pike and Main a public pocket park would take the place of a parking lot and provide a gathering place for the gateway. The Anchor Grill, currently a popular establishment in the gateway, would bene�t from an outdoor area next to the pocket park. The lot bounding York St. would provide adequate parking for the Anchor Grill and Mr. T’s Tavern.

Across Pike Street to the south, a larger public park is proposed on two parcels of land currently containing excess parking and vacant greenspace. The industrial building at 419 Pike Street, directly adjacent to the park, could also serve as a commercial/retail anchor for the area. The lots surrounding these projects would serve as parking for new gateway attractions as well as nearby Turner Society Athletic Club. Addtionally, the small gathering space at Lee St. wil be ehanced and connected to new pedestrian and streetscape improvements.

Increased signage at strategic points and intersection modi�cations would enhance way�nding and transform Main Street and eastern Pike Street from a throughway to an arts and entertainment destination.

2This plan was created as a large-scale mixed use develop-ment in Erbil, a historic city in northern Kurdish Iraq. Erbil has undergone massive expansion and moern redevelopment in recent years.

Facing Page: These drawing illustrate the design proc-ess for the development’s master plan, from preliminary sketches to land use diagrams to final site plan. Special attention was paid to cultural sensitivity of the plan, climatically-appropriate energy efficient design, relation of the development to surrounding commercial districts and residential areas, and centralized public spaces which align to community anchors.

SITE PLAN

The city of Albany, Georgia has experienced similar problems that Over-the-Rhine is currently facing. Their solution to help fight this crime is to revitalize the deteriorating MLK Park in their community. Before the revitalization, the park was in such bad shape that it was forced to close. Gang signs were spray painted onto various signs and walls in the park, and community leaders were fed up. They believed that crime could be curbed by providing a sufficient area for recreation. The newly renovated MLK Park provides an escape for people who may have previously gotten involved in crime, and the area has seen a drop in the crime rate that corresponds to the park’s renovation.

Despite a rich history of German heritage, the first word that comes to mind when someone mentions Over-the-Rhine is “crime.” In 2009 a study was released claiming OTR’s status as the most violent neigh-borhood in the United States. According to that study, if you are a resi-dent of OTR, you have a 25% chance of being a victim to violent crime at some point. While many residents have disputed this study as irrel-evant because of its reliance on outdated statistics, it is certainly fac-tual that OTR has the worst crime rate in the city of Cincinnati. One of the biggest problems in the community is how the youth model them-selves after the environment around them, since their elders heavily influence children and teenagers. If the younger residents look up to older members of the community and see drug dealers, it’s hard to deter them from pursuing a similar life.

Our idea of how to solve many of the crime problems is similar to Albany’s, in that we propose the construction of an indoor-outdoor rec-reation complex at the corner of Sycamore and 12th Street. This loca-tion is currently a parking lot serving the School for Creative and Per-forming Arts, located in the old Woodward High School building. In 2010, the SCPA will be moving to a new location, and the old building will be used for residential and/or commercial purposes. In this format, the large tracts of parking adjacent to the SCPA building used mostly by students will no longer be necessary. The goal of the proposed Over-the-Rhine Recreation Complex is to provide a space that can be used for fitness, community meetings, and education, while still retain-ing the character of the neighborhood.

The Complex will feature a large open block of green space for outdoor recreation, and a large indoor building featuring a fitness center, meeting rooms, six basketball courts (half-court), a 1/16-mile suspended running track, and an Olympic size swimming pool under a large skylight ceiling. The University of Cincinnati Campus Recreation Center was used as a layout template for the Complex, and several other campus buildings inspired its mixed architectural feel.
