STRATEGIC INVESTMENT INITIATIVE

TREMONT WEST DEVELOPMENT

NEIGHBORHOOD PROGRESS INC.

Embracing the characteristics and diversity that are representative of a true urban community, celebrating its history and

ensuring its strong future

A Proposed Activity: West 14th street bridge enhancements

The bridges that separate the districts create breaks in the continuity of the neighborhood fabric, causing many to feel as

though the blocks on one side are no longer a part of Tremont. However, as discussed earlier each district contributes to

the overall identity of the neighborhood. It is possible that through thoughtful and creative streetscape enhancements

these structures that currently cause a break in the Tremont’s identity can actually help to strengthen it and promote the

neighborhood.

Tremont Strategic

Investment Initiative

The example shown here depicts the West

14th Street bridge between the North and

South Tremont neighborhood districts.

Currently a bleak and uninviting

environment, plans are underway through

the Ohio Department of Transportation to

rebuild the deck of the bridge. This project

would offer the neighborhood the chance to

re-envision this portion of the street as a

meaningful piece of Tremont’s

infrastructure. The sketch shows the

bridge with an enhanced pedestrian

sidewalk realm, including such things as

better lighting, hanging baskets along a

portion of the street where trees are not

possible and new picket fencing covering

the mesh screen that currently exists.

Within this design concept seating areas

are placed at the four corners of the bridge

that work in conjunction with signage along

the length of the structure to remind

everyone that crosses they are still within

Tremont and elements are added to the

fencing that tell the history of the

neighborhood
