Save The Date: Bridging Broadway's 1st Dialogue Oct 23

There have been some major movements in the past few months. Rock Ventures officially announced that they will begin construction operations on the Broadway Commons site, displacing several hundred parking spaces.

Pendleton Neighborhood, who have been at the helm of the “parking situation” since Broadway Commons was announced as a possible casino site, finally made some head-way in obtaining a residential parking permit for its residents. Just this past Monday, Cincinnati City Manager Milton Dahoney address the neighborhood’s monthly community council meeting to help quench some fears and attempt to stay transparent.

On Sept 1, Bridging Broadway, began its 6-month comprehensive study of the ½ mile surrounding Broadway Commons. With this study, the non-profit group is charged with conducting 3 community forums to address community concerns about the coming use of Broadway Commons.

This first forum, called Broadway Dialogue will be conducted on Oct 23 from 12:30pm to 4pm at Cincinnati’s historic Memorial Hall located at 1225 Elm St., just steps away from Cincinnati Music Hall. The afternoon will begin with an energized guided walking tour through the area surrounding Broadway Commons where participants’ opinions will be collected and used to assist with recommendations to the City of Cincinnati that include design, policy and programming for this new, vibrant area.

The afternoon will conclude with a facilitated moderation where participants will not only be able to present their own opinions, but also work in small groups to help foster conversation of ways we all can improve the area. The Dialogue will be free and open to the public, but RSVP’s are needed. Sign-in on the day of the event will begin at 12:30pm and light refreshments will be provided later that afternoon.

We hope that you will participate in our vibrant event. This is an exciting time for our city and we want YOU to be apart of the change. Please reserve your spot no later than 5:00pm on Wednesday, Oct 20 by going to the following website:
