Gilbert Ave Complete Street Project

Upcoming Open House! Tuesday, October 15, 6-8 p.m. at Bush Rec Center.  

The Gilbert Ave Complete Street Project will focus on calming traffic and increasing safety and comfort for pedestrians, bicyclists, transit users, and drivers. The project will right-size the street, add protected bike lanes, and reduce the length of key pedestrian crossings between Court St and MLK Drive. These improvements will increase safety for all users in this key transportation corridor connecting the neighborhood of Walnut Hills to downtown Cincinnati. 

Planning, design, and community engagement will occur in 2024 and 2025. Construction is planned to begin in the summer of 2026, and be completed in 2027.
