Скачать или смотреть “Strength in neighbors”: Yvette Simpson unveils neighborhood development platform

CINCINNATI (WKRC) - In 21 days, voters will head to the polls in Cincinnati’s mayoral race.

On Tuesday night, mayoral candidate Yvette Simpson outlined one of her top priorities.

She met with neighbors in north Fairmount and talked about her "strength in neighbors" plan.

It includes making all 52 neighborhoods more livable, more affordable, and more attractive for investment.

Simpson wants amenities like parks and shopping centers to be within a 20-minute walk in every neighborhood.

"We have to be a city where everyone is safe and part of that is rebuilding our neighborhoods to be place where everybody wants to live and you know safety comes with neighborhoods that are thriving, that are active, that have people who care about them in it and they feel cared for by their city officials and so it's the cornerstone of our work,” said Yvette Simpson.

Simpson says her team is researching initiatives in other cities that could work in Cincinnati.

Mayor Cranley hasn't responded.

Rob Richardson said: "Yvette Simpson is offering a plan for our neighborhoods over the next four years when she's running for office, but she's failed to lead on this issue the past 6 years when she's already been in office. Cincinnati voters deserve better than that."
