  • CTM Special Meeting – March 17, 2025 – Bike Lanes

    Clifton Town Meeting (CTM) will hold a special meeting on Monday, March 17 regarding extension of the Clifton Avenue bicycle lanes from Ludlow Avenue to Bryant Avenue.  This extension would provide a means by which riders could travel safely from most of Clifton to the existing bicycle lanes that extend from Ludlow to the University of Cincinnati.  The meeting will be held from 7:00-8:30 pm at the Clifton Recreation Center.

    The bike lane extension was a recommendation from the City of Department of Transportation & Engineering (DOTE) to slow down traffic and improve safety at the Clifton and Ludlow intersection.  Traffic slows down because one lane of traffic is replaced with a bike lane.  In June of 2024, CTM voted to allow the City to proceed with a bike lane from Ludlow to Bryant.  The special meeting will provide additional background and will explain diagrams of two options that are being considered.  These options are not “ready for construction”. They are concepts with some detail for discussion.

    Option 1 “Telford option” – Northbound bike lane on Clifton, Southbound on Telford

    Option 2 “2 way option” – 2 way bike lane on Clifton Ave
