Mariel Carbone reports that the city of Cincinnati is moving forward with a plan to create an open container entertainment district and open street in The Banks, a mixed-use project still taking shop near the Great American Ballpark on the Ohio River.
A 500-foot stretch of Freedom Way between Joe Nuxhall Way and Walnut Street would be closed to all vehicle traffic, according to Carbone, to create pedestrian plaza for restaurant and bar patrons to walk with designated cup in hand.
