Cincinnati State expands free parking initiative
Spurred by a greater than expected surge in enrollment and a change in construction plans involving its Ludlow Avenue Gateway construction project, Cincinnati State officials today announced plans to expand a free offsite parking program for students when the Early Fall Term begins on Sept. 7. The original plan anticipated leasing 200 parking spaces during the day and 100 in the evening, with the ability to add more if needed, at a lot in Northside about 1.8 miles from campus. The revised plan calls for leasing at least 475 spaces during the day and 375 in the evening at the Greater Bethlehem Temple Church lot at 4781 Hamilton Avenue in Northside, near the intersection with Ashtree Drive. Shuttle buses will run to and from campus – a distance of approximately 1.8 miles – between 7:30 a.m. and 10:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday and from 7:30 a.m. until 6:30 p.m. on Friday. Security will be provided. College officials said the expansion of the free parking program was prompted chiefly by two considerations:
The Ludlow Avenue Gateway project will allow Cincinnati State to establish what its master plan envisions as the main entrance to the College. The project will improve access to and from Ludlow Avenue and the two campus parking garages. It will also provide a safety feature long sought by Cincinnati State officials: the ability to make a left turn from campus using a dedicated traffic signal. | Registration rules | Go ahead.
