Little Miami Scenic Trail Extension to Ranchvale - PIDs 113602/115291
Thank you for visiting. Our Virtual Open House is now closed, however, the information shared is still available for reference.
The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) put the Open House together to share information about the following proposed shared-use path connections:
- A new shared-use path from the Little Miami Scenic Trail (LMST) bridge project in Anderson Township (now under construction at the east end of the Beechmont Levee and SR 32/SR 125 interchange) to Elstun Road in the City of Cincinnati's Mt. Washington neighborhood.
- A shared-use path along Beechmont Avenue (SR 125) between Elstun Road and Ranchvale Drive.
This site is a self-guided tour through a series of tabs that highlight the proposed improvements. The questions included on each page are now closed for response. We received great feedback that will be used by the project team in the selection of a Preferred Alternative to be advanced for construction.

WHY ARE WE HOLDING A VIRTUAL OPEN HOUSE?
The purpose of this virtual Open House is to share information and get your input about several proposed shared-use path connections between the Little Miami Scenic Trail (LMST) bridge project and Ranchvale Drive. A shared-use path is a path specifically designed for pedestrians and bicyclists and is physically separated from vehicular traffic (see an example in the picture below). Information contained in this Open House includes a description of project alternatives being considered, potential impacts of the proposed paths, next steps and funding needs. In addition, we would like to answer any questions you might have.
Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, the CDC has recommended using social distancing to help prevent the spread of the virus. Public involvement meetings are very difficult to perform while practicing social distancing. ODOT is, therefore, conducting this public involvement opportunity online where social distancing is not an issue and we can safely engage with the public about proposed transportation improvements.
Your Input is Needed
Public input is important and will be used to guide decision-making. We've included a number of questions for you throughout the following pages. Please take a few moments to answer each one so we can learn more about you and better understand your preferences. The first questions are below.
Internet Access Difficulties
A printout of exhibits and a comment form will be mailed to anyone who has difficulty accessing the Virtual Open House.
