Volunteers to help clean up Cincinnati highway exits

Volunteers to help clean up Cincinnati highway exits

CINCINNATI, OH (FOX19) - Over 125 volunteers will be on the highway picking up litter on Saturday at several of Cincinnati’s dirtiest entrance and exit ramps.

Keep Cincinnati Beautiful (KCB) and the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) have teamed up once again to host the 2013 State Roadway Cleanup with the goal of collecting trash and debris from littered hot spots around the city, including areas along I-75 and I-71.

Volunteers will also be weeding, edging, and mulching a few of KCB’s Daffodils & Daylilies flower beds, including the ones at the Paddock Road entrance and exit to I-75. Clean greenspace along the highway not only leaves a good impression on visitors and businesses, but beautified areas deter littering and increase economic development.

Registration begins at 10:30am on Saturday, April 6 at the Ohio Department of Transportation parking lot. Crews will be out on the roads cleaning from 11am - 2pm.

OAKLEY, OH (FOX19)- The largest Kroger Marketplace ever is coming to Oakley.

Oakley Community Council president Peter Draugelis tells FOX19 that a Kroger Marketplace will anchor the new Oakley Station project.

The Kroger will be about 30,000 square feet larger than the average Kroger Marketplace, and will be the largest one ever built.

An official estimated opening date has not been announced.

Oakley Station is the 74-arce mix use development near Target and
Meijer that will also include office space, 302 residential units and a
14-screen movie theater. Olive Garden was originally planned to be included in the development, but the restaurant is not opening any new locations after weak stock prices.

Draugelis added that the Hyde Park Kroger will remain open.
