THE LANES
Connecting Cincinnati Riverfront with the Downtown
Revitilizing the fourteen blocks and intermediate streets between the two stadiums by introducing mix use - entertainment centric design. Focus on sports tourism , tailgating and river festivals as revenue generating mechanisms to support the development.

Downtown transit loop connects to the project site, which is near the river. The area between the two large stadiums has immense scope for development.
Lanes at the Banks
leverages the existing site, building a linkage to Community, Culture and Celebration of Cincinnati.
THE LANES
Connecting Cincinnati Riverfront with the Downtown
Pave the Lanes
Paving the interstate - Capping the Fort Washington Way and use it for
supporting community needs and develop synergy of the discussed development.
3 Strategies for to foster successful micro-urban environment
Extend the Lanes
Maintain the Lanes
Extend the urban fabric with a continuation - Creating a large residential mass and amenities such as Roebling Walk and Cincy Cinemas activating the site
Maintain the Banks by creating a Cistern capturing 2 million Gallons of Water & creation of permeable surfaces. Turf parking for taigating zones allowing the ground to absorb water
across all seasons
