Ludlow Avenue streetscape begins

A project to improve the appearance of Clifton's Ludlow Avenue begins this week.

The $1.8 million project, which will occur between the Middleton/Whitfield area to just east of Clifton Avenue, will include:

* Curbs and decorative sidewalks
* Street trees
* Gas lamps and streetlights
* Street furniture
* A new gathering space and kiosk at Telford Avenue

A new plaza is also planned at the former Bender Optical site, providing better connectivity between Ludlow Avenue and the Merchants' Lot.

The project is a joint venture between Clifton Town Meeting and the Clifton Business & Professional Association, with funding provided by the City of Cincinnati.

Traffic will be maintained at all times.
