9. Promote Access to Healthy Food

College Hill’s traditional main street along Hamilton Avenue serves as the backbone of the neighborhood. Like the human body, when the backbone falters, the health of the entire body declines. A similar result developed as Hamilton Ave. lost investment. The entire neighborhood was negatively impacted by its decline.

ig Ne

Cities across the country are looking to provide healthier food options to the masses. Along with the food aspect of “health”, the proposed design utilizes the various corner buildings along College Hill’s commercial corridor. Doing so creates a network of healthy spaces and places for the neighborhood.
