  • Variable Message Signage project continued, with crews completing foundations and continuing with the underground infrastructure.
  • The Banks became “Snow Banks at The Banks” in January, providing a cure for cabin fever with ice carvings, snow tubing, snow mounds, dining and entertainment for the whole family.
  • In January, the Ohio River crested at 54 feet, flooding portions of Smale Riverfront Park.
  • The Riverfront Transit Center expanded the area dedicated to public parking.
