Projects initially left out of the Cincinnati budget are back on the table after negotiations in the Budget and Finance Committee Monday. Council members approved plans to prioritize pedestrian safety, as well as increase funding for the city s police oversight board.
City administrators say they identified about $1.2 million in the operating budget, and $1 million in the capital budget, that could still be allocated.
Committee members agreed to use $500,000 for pedestrian safety, adding to the $754,000 already allocated in the city manager s proposed budget.
Interim Council Member Steve Goodin says it s the number one topic of constituent complaints. Every neighborhood we go to we hear about the same problem intersections, lack of proper [road] grading, etc., Goodin said.

The Black Lives Matter mural in front of Cincinnati City Hall isn t looking as good as it once did, says Council Member Jan-Michele Lemon Kearney, and $13,000 is needed to fix it up, including an overlay to protect it.
Private donations were used last summer to pay for the BLM mural painted on Plum Street between Eighth and Ninth streets by Black Art Speaks, ArtsWave and ArtWorks.
Initially there was talk about turning the area into a closed-off pedestrian plaza. That didn t happen, and traffic has weathered the design, according to Kearney.
She is seeking the money, of which 70% will go to arts and attorneys, to refurbish the mural. As far as the overlay, Apparently there s some type of material that can be put over it so it doesn t have to be repainted every year so that it s longer lasting, she says.
