Future Visions: Mt. Adams
Wednesday, September 1, 2010 0:00
Mt. Adams was also a signature transit type, but unlike Price Hill, it reflects a strong current identity. A crystalline structure and gondola car represent the modern rebirth of the neighborhood and their use alludes to its popularity as an entertainment district. The suspended gondola creates a glowing pendant at night, providing great views for [...]
Future Visions: West Chester and Mason
Saturday, August 28, 2010 0:00
West Chester and Mason represented the faster growing suburbs of Cincinnati. A monorail represented the ability to connect the greater commercial hubs that the neighborhoods are known for without experiencing any of the roads and traffic also endemic in the area. The station and train experiences reference the family oriented environment that most of the [...]
Future Visions: Covington
Tuesday, August 24, 2010 0:00
Covington represents how another state could fit in the future plan as our greater metro region encompasses three states. The concept incorporates the laid back and social atmosphere inherent in our near neighbor to the south. Almost predicting the upcoming trolley buses, this idea sought to pair a heritage feel with modern technology and manufacturing. [...]
Future Visions: Price Hill
Sunday, August 22, 2010 0:00
We focused on Lower Price hill as a west side neighborhood that represented an area without a well established identity. Here, a signature station and transit type could really help pull the community together. It could encourage residents to celebrate their collective strengths as a former industrial community with easy access to fantastic views. Lower [...]
Future Visions: Downtown

Downtown is the obvious start of the proposed system. It is a hub for the people and transportation of the city, and its identity has to appeal to all the different audiences. Keeping the proposed route the same, we wanted to provide a vision that pushed the experience of regular riders and tourists alike. A [...]
Future Visions: Hyde Park

Hyde Park is our East Side neighborhood representation. Having a strong identity focused around the boutique lined square, we focused enhancing that feel with posh interiors in the train and a little promenade station that encourages people to get off and browse through the neighborhood. The train itself reflects the style of the early 1900’s [...]
Future Visions: Northside

Northside offered potential as another transit hub to service future routes and the nearby high speed rail. The eclectic and organic nature of the neighborhood are captured in the vibrant reuse of both building and car stock to produce a uniquely Northside attraction. Some may recognize the American Can building which served as a model [...]
Future Visions: Overview
Monday, August 9, 2010 16:55
Cincinnati is a city with great neighborhoods. We are fortunate to have many great walkable business districts that all have their own distinct character. But sometimes it comes at the cost of overall city identity rather than adding to it. Our spring quarter class chose to look at how new forms of transportation could be [...]
Our Future Vision

During the spring quarter of 2010 University of Cincinnati and the Live Well Collaborative teamed up to discover what the future of Cincinnati Public Transportation could be. The class consisted of designers, city planners, economists, architects, and interior designers. Each of these students was able to bring a fresh perspective to the Cincinnati plan and [...]
