Tri-State Trails

On Saturday October 3rd, we invited all candidates running for elected positions in Northern Kentucky to join us on a bike ride with local community members and advocates. This was an awesome opportunity for them to experience our bike infrastructure firsthand and discuss ways we can improve it!

Before the ride, we asked each of the candidates why they loved trails. Check out this video to see what a few of them had to say!

Last month, we teamed up with Mill Creek Alliance and the Northside Community Council to take community members on a walk along the Mill Creek Greenway Trail!

This walk was such a fun opportunity to connect with the community and explore how this trail is working to promote neighborhood connectivity and environmental sustainability in the area. It really reminded us that the Mill Creek Greenway Trail is so much more than just a trail; it's a shared investment in community, connection, and sustainability.

Promoting community connection and increasing environmental resiliency is what drives our work with local partners like Mill Creek Alliance to extend the Mill Creek Greenway Trail further South into the Lower Mill Creek Valley, stitching together the communities in the Beekman Corridor.

At this year's summit, we'll explore what it means to create trails for all and envision the kind of region we are working to create.

Join us this Saturday, October 3rd, for the Northern Kentucky Meet the Candidates Ride to learn more about local candidates and advocate for bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure in Northern Kentucky!

We’ve invited candidates running for all kinds of offices throughout Northern Kentucky to join us on a community bike ride to experience firsthand what infrastructure is working well and identify where safer, more connected facilities are still needed. Before we ride, candidates will have a few minutes to introduce themselves and share their vision for safer, more connected walking and bicycling in our region.

We'll meet at at noon, then head out on the ride together. The ride will be about 6-8 miles and no drop (no one gets left behind). Don’t have a bike? Cincy Red Bike has bikes available from nearby stations along Monmouth Street in Newport. Make sure to bring your own helmet!

Cincinnati is designing protected bike lanes and safer connections along Erie Avenue and Murray Road. This includes the possibility of turning the intersection of Murray and La Crosse Avenues into a four-way stop. With pedestrian, bike, and vehicular traffic intersecting at this point, a four-way stop will ensure that everyone can continue their journey safely and efficiently!

The City of Cincinnati DOTE is hosting a public open house on the project TONIGHT from 6-7:30PM at Eastside Rec. Center (3950 Paxton Avenue). Join us at the meeting to support the addition of this four-way stop!

If you can’t make it tonight, keep an eye out for an opportunity to give your feedback virtually! We’ll share that information here when it’s available.

We are so excited to have Carol Coletta join us as the keynote speaker for our 9th Biennial Trails Summit!

Carol Coletta has spent a lifetime focused on cities and their success. As a Bloomberg Public Innovation Fellow, she is exploring how public space can foster social connections at scale, particularly across demographic differences.

This year's keynote will pose the question: What happens when communities are willing to think boldly about their public spaces? Carol Coletta will challenge us to consider where our region has succeeded, where opportunities remain, and how trails and public spaces can help create a more connected, welcoming, and distinctive region.

Join leaders from all across the region working to shape Cincinnati's public realm at this year's Tri-State Trails summit! Make sure to register before this Friday (October 2nd) to take advantage of early bird prices. Learn more and register at tristatetrails.org
