Storm Park in Clifton is set to expand as the Cincinnati Parks Foundation buys a 27-acre hillside next to the historic park, helped by $359,000 raised by neighborhood residents. The land, long used informally for sledding and recreation, could see stream restoration, invasive plant removal, and future hiking trails if a state grant comes through.

3. New bridge? Driverless cars? Study to look at how to get to CVG faster (cincinnati.com) — Cincinnati officials and regional planners are launching a $350,000 study to find faster, more reliable ways for local workers to reach CVG, including options like dedicated bus rapid transit, a new West Side bridge, or even driverless taxis. With airport-area jobs projected to surge from 16,000 to as many as 25,000, the study could reshape how Cincinnati residents commute across the river for work.
