Streetscape


College Hill recieved a $1.5 million grant through Cincinnati Neighborhood Business Districts United (CNBDU) for a streetscape revitalization project along Hamilton Avenue. Improving the streetscape with new lighting, landscaping, paving materials, and other upgrades is a keystone of the 1999 College Hill Urban Development Plan. Other than a few remaining ornamental trees, the streetscape project is completed.


Business District Gateways

In order to develop a stronger identity for the College Hill Business District and reinforce arrival and departure to and from the District, two gateway elements are proposed. Each should be substantive architecture and be significant, strong visual elements and not get lost in the visual clutter of the business district. These gateways will operate in tandem with the Streetscape Project to reinforce a sense of place in the College Hill Business District.

CHCURC was awarded funding through the City of Cincinnati and CNBDU for completion of the Gateway Project.


Clean and Safe Neighborhood Grant

College Hill together with three other Cincinnati neighborhoods recieved funding for security camera surveillance systems. College Hill's system is installed along Hamilton Avenue in the business district. Securing this grant and completing the camera project is key to
improving the atmosphere along Hamilton Avenue and continued revitalization of our business district. The cameras are linked together and accessible through the internet, which will allow monitoring by the Cincinnati Police Department and Citizens on Patrol.
