A “Knuckle” for Green Infrastructure and Connectivity Building Healthy & Resilient PlacesEast Walnut Hills
The vision for this development is to provide the missing link between Walnut Hills and East Walnut Hills business districts. Given the location of the site being at the literal “knuckle” between the two NBD’s, the location was poised as a center of activity, ulti-mately connecting the commercial corridor along Woodburn Avenue to the corridor along E Mcmillan Street. Looking beyond just simply connecting the two neighborhoods involves expanding the bound-aries and ultimately creating a connection between Uptown and Evanston, which contain two major in-stitutions and employment centers within the Cin-cinnati region, The University of Cincinnati and Xavier University. The culmination of the connection between these major areas of economic activity all lands at this “knuckle”. This site will serve as a loca-tion for people traveling between these neighbor-hoods to live and play. The development provides a mix of housing types as well as a continuation of commercial activity along Woodburn Ave. and E Mc-millan St. The development will also create a pedes-trian and bicycle connection to Eden Park.
