Here are the top three stories today in Cincinnati:

  1. Yesterday, Cincinnati city leaders announced plans to install approximately two miles of bike and hiking pathways that will connect Rapid Run Park in West Price Hill to nearby Dunham Recreation Center and Lick Run Greenway in South Fairmount. Councilmember Jeff Cramerding said he will introduce a motion on Monday to the Council's Budget and Finance committee to spend $400,000 in city funds for new pathways. The new path will link the west side to the urban core and cost close to $5 million. (The Cincinnati Enquirer)
  2. The average rent for apartments in Cincinnati has increased 17 percent from 2020 to 2021, according to a recent report released by commercial real estate group CBRE. Inflation and a shortage in housing supply are partly to blame for the drastic increase. CBRE predicts that rents will continue to increase between 6 and 7 percent in 2022. (WCPO 9 Cincinnati)
  3. Cincinnati police are searching for 26-year old Kayla Moser who was reported missing last Monday. Moser was allegedly left in the 2200 block of Westwood Northern Blvd. after being assaulted. She was wearing a black jacket and blue jeans at last sighting. (WCPO 9 Cincinnati)
