The city of Cincinnati and the Cincinnati Center City Development Corp. unveiled major changes to Court Street on Wednesday aimed at providing more space for pedestrians, restaurants, activities and festivals.

The $8.8 million project will widen the sidewalks on both sides of the street between Vine and Walnut, remove a median in the middle, and eliminate on-street parking on the north side, although there is a net increase in spaces in the area because of a new surface lot as well as the garage at the downtown Kroger store at 100 E. Court St.

3CDC also plans a $14 million Court Street South project on Vine Street just south of Court with residential units and commercial space as well as renovation to upper story buildings on the south side of Court Street. It estimates that $145 million will be invested in the corridor when existing and future projects are tallied up.

  • Replace all of the trees, whose roots are bulging and disrupting the existing sidewalk, some of which is built with bricks.
  • Sidewalk width will increase from 13 feet to 38 feet on the north side and 20 feet to 44 feet on the south side and be the same height as the street, a festival-style design that allows for vehicular closure to open the entire street to pedestrians for organized events.
  • 28 on-street metered spaces will remain on the south side of the street, in addition to the 36 spaces at a new surface parking lot at Walnut Street and Central Parkway and the downtown Kroger garage, which has about 240 spaces. Kroger’s downtown headquarters also is on the block. The $8.8 million project cost includes the $1.3 million acquisition of the parking lot, which includes a promenade to Court Street.
  • Public art around the streetcar transformer station as well as a dining area, space for a stage at Court and Vine and room for concerts or temporary retail, similar to City Flea, the monthly makers and crafters market that sets up in Washington Park during warm weather months.
