KZF Design, in partnership with Human Nature and the Cincinnati Park Board, designed a streetscape enhancement plan to create a sustainable and visually attractive greenway, with a new irrigation system, electrical service and edge pavers. Reconstruction of the medians replaced the existing landscaping, to enhance and beautify the parkway to convey the proper image of an attractive, ceremonial entrance to downtown, linking it to the historic Over-The-Rhine community.
