Two ordinances in Cincinnati City Council's Finance Committee could pave the way for the replacement of Uptown's dated wayfinding signage.
The first ordinance would allow the City to apply for a $1 million grant from the Ohio-Kentucky-Indiana Regional Council of Governments (OKI) to help pay for the design, construction and installation of a unified directional signage system.
The second ordinance would allow the City to accept $250,000 from the Uptown Consortium to be used as matching funds for the project.
The City's Department of Transportation and Engineering has also promised an additional $250,000.
The new signage is a recommendation of the 2006 Uptown Transportation Plan, which was approved by the OKI board of directors in January 2007.
The exisiting wayfinding system, which originally included 84 signs, was installed in the early 1980s.
