Clifton neighborhood looks to change traffic laws to enhance pedestrian safety
Clifton neighborhood looks to change traffic laws to enhance pedestrian safety

By: Mariel Carbone, WCPO Channel 9 reporter
CINCINNATI — Residents and business owners in Clifton are no strangers to the risks associated with stepping foot in a crosswalk in this neighborhood.
In the last three years, there have been 32 accidents involving pedestrians in Clifton, and many who live there point to speeding as one main reason.
"I actually have seen somebody get struck by a car, yes," said Mike Anagnostu, owner of Ludlow Wines, in the Gaslight District. "It's kind of terrifying, actually. We've had people that have just narrowly missed being hit by a car too."
He said cars speed through the Ludlow business district - a narrow, two-way road with plenty of people out walking in nice weather. During rush hour, vehicles aren't permitted to park along the road, adding additional lanes for drivers to speed through. The same is true for Calhoun Street, near the University of Cincinnati.
Aid might be coming for the Gaslight District, though.
With the City of Cincinnati's approval, the neighborhood plans to test out a few new ways to slow down drivers.
"The Clifton business district at rush hour can be a very unsafe place," said David Mann, a Cincinnati council member.
Mann is hoping to adopt temporary changes that would eliminate the parking restrictions along Ludlow Ave during rush hours. The current test plan would mean cars could park in the right lane, reducing traffic flow to one lane and forcing drivers to slow down. The addition of bump-outs, an extension of curbs or other barriers to protect cross-walks, is also being explored, according to Mann.
Business owners like Anagnostu feel that changes like this are crucial to keeping people safe, and keeping the business district attractive to locals and visitors.
"In a district where we tout the walkability of the business district, and we talk about how it's part of our lifestyle here, it's really important for us to maintain that," he said.
So far, there is no timeframe for when these temporary changes will go into effect. Mann said residents and business owners in the neighborhood want to do it quickly, however. He said they're pushing for a summer test roll out.

Vegman, comic book by James Patrick White on sale at Lentz & Company
James Patrick White is one of the Chronicle artists. He started when EP Harris was running the ship and produced a plethora of line art still used today. He painted the murals in Arlin’s and you may remember the 4’ x 8’ murals that surrounded the merchant parking lot in 2001.
He has resurfaced with a comic book that can be bought at Lentz & Company, called “Vegman.” He also has duct tape oversize handguns you can hang on the wall.
I am a rabid fan of James Patrick White, so much so I think he feels threatened meeting his most fervent admirer. I still have not met him nor seen him and look forward to doing penitence in hopes I will get an audience.

The next deadline is November 1 for the winter issue but if you miss it just
send it in when you can. It will appear in the next issue. Send your submissions
to tom@tomlohre.com or call 513-236-1704 for answers about this project.
The idea for this project came from art books that feature what the artist
says.
This is a rewrite from The Art of Painting, From The Baroque Through Postimpressionism
foreword.
We want words that exposes the essence of your art, its forms, its interior
evolution, and to a certain degree its techniques. Speak for yourself. What
you say about art is one thing; the paintings speak for themselves and yet should
we disdain theories?
There has been a tendency to attribute artistic creation to a mystery definable
only as genius, inspiration, or pure psychic automatism. Mystery there is, indeed,
but not everything in an artist's expression is mysterious, no matter how much
a genius he is. There are his ideas about his art, his beliefs, his biases,
his personal myths and those of his time, his speculations, and his craft.
A painter is a man who has decided to express himself in plastic form. He is
often only a man who paints and he may write little, or badly, or he may not
even consider writing or he may write without speaking of painting. Their intention
was to formulate not a theory of genius but, more modest and yet more difficult,
the theory of forms and colors that dominated the spirit of their times.
Sincerely,
Tom Lohre, editor

pastel melted on thirty gauge metal, February 8, 2014
The scene is from “Holidays on Ludlow” with the horse drawn carriage
lmaking the turn from Clifton to Ludlow. Inspired by Edouard Cortez, Eugene
Galien-Laloue, Luigi Loir and Jean Beraud. The rough work is the new rough.
The color wax sticks melted onto a hot metal is alive even after it cools. In
the past Tom relied on the time of day painting in the street to dictate the
light and color of the painting but now he needs to give the painting everything
it needs. In the past he shied away from dawn or dusk paintings thinking it
was kitsch, low-brow style of mass-produced art or design using popular or cultural
icons. This new medium wants him paint all the light effects.

Grocery Arms, 28" x 22" latex on cardboard, December 10. 2012; Architectural sketch of a supermarket with several floors of pre-war designed apartments.
Tom had a dream the IGA on Ludlow was open, amazed as he walked through the door into the sunlit space. Smells of food permeated the air as he wandered around placing fresh fruits and vegetables into my cart. It was an old time grocery store; the floor was wood with onion skins lightly laying on it. The colors were a fall afternoon. He saw no one but felt if he needed help it would be right there. More like someone up front yelling to the back of the store to bring up another basket. The ceiling was embossed metal. It was a pleasure to shop here for all his food needs.
He had a dream Clifton Market watched their expiration dates like a hawk. All expired vegetables, meat, fish, poultry, can goods and dry foodstuffs went straight to the “Expired Food Area” in the back. Struggling Cliftonites went straight to the “Expired Food Area” to take advantage of the heavily discounted prices. The “Expired Food Area” was one of the biggest draws for the struggling.
In another dream Tom found himself in the back of the store, like it is now fully restored, and heard someone in a high squeaky female voice, berating a customer over the stores loud speaker system. Feeling that this was beyond the pale for a grocer, Tom went up to see who was accosting a customer and it was the manager a seven foot tall Viking like character, red hair, blue eyes and chiseled features who spoke with a woman’s voice.

Ludlow Avenue in Clifton is neighborhood of Cincinnati, Ohio. The neighborhood includes all the features of a charming landscape. “Holidays on Ludlow” is an evening of carriage rides, music, caroling and special events by the merchants. The carriage rides start in front of Graeter’s Ice Cream the view for this painting. The previous painting with this view was done from life. The evening streets wet from drizzle. A delicate balance of color is struck to display night. The dark opaque oil pastel left something to be desired. This derived version in nine colors lightens the scene by keeping all the colors light. The blob abstraction allows the knowledgeable viewer to pick out the features of the street avoiding the ponderous dark nature of the previous painting, Esquire IV.

Natalie Loves Sitwell's
Open daily 8 AM to 2 AM
The history of Sitwell’s starts with a performance by Edith Sitwell's and Dylan Thomas in 1957, The proprietor was amused by a book of poetry of Edith’s in her mother’s collection. Her mother told her the story of meeting Edith with Dylan Thomas in 1957.
Cailleach Press, P.O. Box 23263, Cincinnati OH 45223, has published Fiction and Poetry from the writers of Sitwell’s. Sitwell’s was originally down the street at 404. They moved because of insurance problems.
Ludlow Village II, Clifton Gaslight, Cincinnati, Ohio, July 1, 2013, 16"
x 12", Oil pastel on aluminum, this is the second of six works painted
on location on Clifton Plaza on Ludlow Avenue in Clifton a neighborhood of Cincinnati
in the summer. Tom lives nearby. This was his second series of works painted
on Ludlow. He used an unconventional painting manner melting fancy crayons on
hot metal.
To the right through the trees is the Esquire Theater. The building featured
houses Pangaea, a women’s clothing store and Sitwell’s Coffee Shop.
To the left is Telford Street. Tom is thinking of opening a window box gallery
between the Esquire and Sitwell’s. There is a closet in Sitwell’s
where the back wall is the street front. Tom would put a picture window in the
wall.
Ludlow and Telford Avenues I, Clifton, Cincinnati; 16" x 12", Oil on aluminum, July 1, 2013
Clifton Gaslight Balcony II , Cincinnati; 24" x 20", Oil on 25 gauge galvanized metal
Who are the two women on the balcony above The Om Café? Tom saw them there during CliftonFest 2013. He later slowly assembled the composition. Using his new manner of melting fancy crayons on hot metal he wanted to use a larger canvas eventually going up to 3’ x 4’. Using 19 gauge flashing metal the weight of the sheet will be considerable. For this painting he arranged magnets on his easel to hold the metal as he moved it around a centrally located hot plated adapted to heat only an eight inch circular patch at good working height. The manner lends itself to create perfect works since if changes have to be made the wax is heated up and removed with a cue tip then new color is laid down. Slowly he is increasing his color palette to 325 specially mixed colors. In time he sees an electric drives that move the work around to the place he is working. The manner was initially adapted to paint in hotel rooms without the smell. The next step is to use atmosphere to drive the scene. Tom had been painting scenes with daylight but now sees the advantage to using various dramatic atmospheres to drive the emotion. Auctioned at the 2014 Clifton Community Fund Dinner, Saturday, September 20, 2014

Clifton Gaslight, Cincinnati, Ohio, July 10, 2013, 16" x 12", Oil pastel on aluminum, painted from life
Tom created this as a cartoon where every apartment in the five story development
that looked like the Roanoke has a balcony.
The entrance to the included CCAC is off the Plaza, a five story revival of
the Temple of Love.
The turn off on Howell for the apartments is also a copy of the Temple of Love
that could be used for weddings.
He made the development as large as possible so everyone could have an apartment.
It was removed from the online edition of the Clifton Chronicle because Dave
Taylor, developer, thought it misrepresented the facts.
He thought there might be a possibility of a shared public space that the CCAC
could use.
This was meant to be a joke but Tom removed it fromt he online edition because
it might affect real negotiations adversely.
Do not share or forward to anyone without Tom's permission. For your eyes only.

This is the first watercolor in this series to be completed. Tom decided to use the annual Clifton Senior Center Fundraising Progressive Dinner as a motivational force to complete the illustrations of Ludlow Avenue for these pages. A progressive dinner is where you all meet at a cocktail home and then branch out to other homes to have dinner and then meet back again at the church for the auction of art, antiques, gift certificates from the shops of the neighborhood and other special packages for the fund-raiser.
Tom started the drawing from life on the street during the winter and then completed it in the studio using a four color wash with pens and brushes. Tom spent about four years perfecting this manner of watercolor working mostly from Thomas Rowlandson work. Rowlandson, a Englishman, painted during the time of Charles Dickens in London. Rowlandson would add various color washes of cobalt blue and alizarin crimson as accent. The technique revolves around using three different tints for wash and then three different weights for line. the lines are made from thin brushes to quills.

Bogarts Corryville, Cincinnati Oil on canvas, 16” x 20”, October 6th, 2002
Painted from life. Tom drove his flying bicycle through Ludlow and Jefferson Villages to get to Corryville, one of the many little villages in Cincinnati. He started the painting in the studio, projecting an image of the street onto the canvas along with some images of girls he had taken around the neighborhood villages. When he started painting there was a girl handing out flyers in from of The Cupboard. The flyers were for a competing store across the street. Tom ended up painting the shopkeeper of The Cupboard in her regular spot in the front door. The manner of the painting is much rougher than usual for Tom. It is an experiment in momentary human expression hoping to present a solid finished idea but in a manner, that shows the human size and stroke. This manner was influenced by Tom’s friend in England who paints everyday quick oil sketches. He is constantly touting to paint the whole all at once.
History of These Pages
I came up with this idea from the many grants that the state and city requests artists to apply for. All the grants look to make the artist a living treasure of the community. As a street painter for many years in New York City, Nantucket and Palm Beach, I felt that I should just skip the grants and get right to the mission of making myself a living treasure of my community. Of course the state and city grants want all this to happen in the poorer neighborhoods so I will still propose various projects to take place in the poorer neighborhoods with a goal of empowering the residents there to become there own community treasure.
I have been a working fine artist for about 25 years. I moved to New York City once finishing college and lived in the same apartment on Christopher & Bleecker for twenty years while I started traveling the art circuit of Palm Beach, Nantucket and New York City. In 1994 I met my wife on a return home visit and eventually gave up my apartment and returned to my home town, Cincinnati.
