Projects initially left out of the Cincinnati budget are back on the table after negotiations in the Budget and Finance Committee Monday. Council members approved plans to prioritize pedestrian safety, as well as increase funding for the city s police oversight board.
City administrators say they identified about $1.2 million in the operating budget, and $1 million in the capital budget, that could still be allocated.
Committee members agreed to use $500,000 for pedestrian safety, adding to the $754,000 already allocated in the city manager s proposed budget.
Interim Council Member Steve Goodin says it s the number one topic of constituent complaints. Every neighborhood we go to we hear about the same problem intersections, lack of proper [road] grading, etc., Goodin said.
