PEDESTRIAN ISLANDS
PEDESTRIAN ISLAND FEATURES
Placing a pedestrian island on Hopple St. in Camp Washington would make it easier for pedestrians in cross. By getting rid of one of the three lanes that goes east bound, an island could be placed on the street. By placing a pedestrian island on Hopple St., the neighborhood would become more accessible and walkability would be increased.

Currently in Camp Washington, there exists the opportunity to build a pocket park. The 0.31 acre site available is located between Colerain Ave. and Henshaw Ave. and is situated behind a Shell gas station. The land is zoned as a commercial community district (CCA) and is permitted for park and recreation facilities. The land has been under the ownership of Zahneis Family Real Estate LLC since 2005 and the land has remained empty since then.

REBRANDING
Although Camp Washington contains elements of an eclectic community including mixed industrial/retail/residential districts and popular street art, it lacks a common theme to serve as an identity and maintain its uniqueness from other Cincinnati communities. Vacancy remains as one of the more important issues within Camp Washington’s Neighborhood Business District (NBD). The interviewed large business owners cited vacancy as one of the main reasons many Cincinnati businesses choose to locate themselves elsewhere, which is likely caused by the poor store frontage design. One attempt to decrease the amount of vacant buildings within Camp Washington’s NBD could be the implementation of a storefront improvement program.

URBAN GROCERY FEATURES “CAMP” GROCERY COLERAIN AVENUE PLAZA OUTDOOR FURNITURE FARMERS MARKET READING GARDEN INTERACTIVE ART PIECES STAGE Developing a grocery store in the northeastern section of Camp Washington’s neighborhood business district near the intersection of Hopple St. and Colerain Ave. would provide the neighborhood with a much needed food supplier. The proposed grocery store would also include an area for a farmers’ market, a small plaza on Colerain Ave., and the installation of a vegetation buffer between the proposed 2 acre site and Interstate-75.
