Cincinnati adds lighting to part of Wasson Way

 

People riding or walking on part of Wasson Way, the city’s second-longest paved bicycle and pedestrian trail, can now do so more safely.

 

The city spent $400,000 to light phase 6a of the trail, which recently opened and connects Avondale to Xavier University.

 

The lights will ensure better access and visibility, according to Cincinnati council members Mark Jeffreys and Reggie Harris.

    Hi all! This is my first post here. Been lurking since '14. If this is in the wrong topic I apologize in advance.   I follow the Wasson Way project on facebook and they posted this link toda

    Yawn. Should have been rails.

  • I have been told that Wasson Way is working towards a zoning review of that entire corridor. I don't know any details but hopefully it moves forward and it starts that policy discussion.

In 2024, we're looking forward to new segments of the CROWN being constructed. Wasson Way will be extended into Xavier Univeristy’s campus going from Montgomery Road to Station Way. While this is a small segment, it will lead up to the site of Xavier’s forthcoming College of Osteopathic Medicine building. The final alignment of Wasson Way will extend from Station Way to Dana Avenue after the Medical college building is complete. This segment will also include important safety enhancements with new signalized crossings at Montgomery Road and Dana Avenue at Idlewild Avenue.

 

Farther east, the Village of Mariemont will advance another 0.2-mile segment of trail from the Mariemont Library to Miami Avenue. The CROWN will help fund the match for the grant the Village has been awarded by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources.

 

Ohio Department of Transportation is conducting a feasibility study for a possible extension of Wasson Way from Ault Park to Armleder Park. This extension would make it possible to connect from Wasson Way to the Little Miami Scenic Trail. Stay tuned for our next Newsletter – we’ll let you know the details of a public meeting on the Wasson Way to Armleder connection that will take place later this year. This is a priority project that will be done in collaboration with the City of Cincinnati and the Ohio Department of Transportation.

The City of Cincinnati has uploaded a 38 page slide deck for the public engagement needed to amend the PD for the new college.

City of Cincinnati, state of Ohio look to link Wasson Way to Little Miami Trail

By Chris Wetterich – Staff reporter and columnist, Cincinnati Business Courier

Jan 7, 2025

 

The city of Cincinnati and the state of Ohio are considering how to extend Wasson Way from its current terminus in Ault Park to the city’s Otto Armleder Memorial Park in Linwood.

 

The project, which currently is estimated at $18.6 million, would connect two major Cincinnati parks and create another planned link between two of its major bicycle and pedestrian paths – Wasson Way and the Little Miami Scenic Trail.

 

Great Parks has its own plans to link the Murray Path, which connects to Wasson Way in the Red Bank Road corridor, to the Little Miami Trail.
