As a result of numerous problems with weekend visitors to the Mt. Adams entertainment district, the community forged together with the Mt. Adams Tavern Guild and the Cincinnati Police department to implement immediate change.  These changes include adding a roving detail to better patrol the residential areas and managing traffic flow with the addition of cab stations.  The changes are resulting in positive progress as reported by residents this past weekend.

A resident on Louden Street complimented:  ”I woke up Saturday around 2:00 AM and heard some street noise, there were maybe 15 or 20 kids on Louden.  There was a loud bang and  I suddenly saw several police right there on the spot. It looked like they arrested 1 or 2 people.  Then another patrol car came right up.  Another officer on a bike arrived and continued to aggressively tell patrons they needed to get out of the street and not linger in the residential area.   The Police were fabulous.  They were right there on top of the situation which could have easily spiraled out of control.  Once the police arrived, I could see people change behavior and they left quickly and orderly.  It is clear that it is not easy dealing with the crowds but I have noticed and really appreciate what a positive difference the effort by the Cincinnati Police has made in our community.”

Please remember, if you see a drunk driver call 1-800-GRAB-DUI. Give them the car description and license number and they will track to driver down. You can also call 911 or 765-1212 for any other problem activity (noise, public urination, car damage, violence, vandalism, busses parked in front of your house, etc.).
