DRC Board Discusses Future
DRC board members joined for a planning retreat on Saturday, July 23, 2022, at the Central Parkway YMCA. After hearing about the history and purpose at the founding of the organization from Rick Dieringer, members discussed current opportunities and visions to better serve all downtown residents.
Help the Police Keep an Eye on Crime
Capt. Doug Wiesman, Commander of the Central Business Section, is asking that any Downtown resident or business owner who wishes to register their external cameras may now do so with the Police Department. This will help the police investigate crimes or suspect activity that may happen within view of the camera. All information will be kept in strictest confidence. To participate, please follow the link below and feel free to share it.

Paving the Way
Moving around downtown safely is an issue that a lot of residents are concerned with. If you think a sidewalk is in poor condition and a possible trip hazard, the best way to report the problem is to use the City’s Citizen Service Request options. That includes calling 513.591.6000, visiting www.5916000.com, or using the Fix It Cincy! app on a smart phone.
DRC Supports Saturday Hoops
The DRC supports Saturday Hoops, a Youth Mentoring program at Ziegler Park offered each Saturday throughout the summer. Free, faith-based fun through basketball, art, healthy snacks, and mentorship is available to all kids with no registration required and no cost to participate. Check out our logo on the Saturday Hoops banner!
Our Downtown on the Move
Downtown Cincinnati is now home to over 6,000 residents (over 15,000 in the greater market area, which includes OTR, Pendleton and the West End), with more arriving every month as new condos and apartment homes are completed. The Downtown Residents Council works to develop a community atmosphere, conducts projects to improve the quality of life, and voices concerns of residents at City Hall.
We work closely with the Police Department on safety issues and 3CDC on development and promotion efforts.
