STREETCAR
Watch my in-dept video report on why Streetcar is important for our City on the videos page.  Read my streetcar factsheet.

PARKING DEAL
If the parking deal ends up on the ballot, the City must make drastic cuts to police, fire, recreation centers and pools in May. For my views on the budget, see the issues page. If the parking deal proceeds, we save hundreds of jobs and invest in key revenue generators.

Read my fact sheet on the parking deal and learn the TRUTH behind the myth! 
Read the indedpendent financial analysis of the deal by an expert hired by the City.

Quinlivan For Council

Hello friends! I am running for my last term on Cincinnati City Council, and I thank you for your support.

I Chair Council’s Strategic Growth Committee, which oversees economic development, arts & culture, education, the environment, human services, and marketing & tourism.  I also serve on the Hamilton County Transportation Improvement District and Chair the Mayor's Green Steering Committee.  Citizens involved in Green Umbrella are helping us update the Green Cincinnati Plan that will set our sustainability goals for the next five years.

Making Cincinniati "Cleaner, Greener & Smarter" is my mission, and a top priority for me is creating the Wasson Way Bike Trail, which will be transformative for our city.

I focus on helping neighborhoods, creating vibrancy, and streamlining government. My leadership created:

  • Community Entertainment Districts to revitalize struggling business districts
  • Mobile Food Vending and Mobile Prduce Vending Programs 
  • LEED ordinance change to further incentivize “green” building  in Cincinnati
  • Cincinnati Business Retention Program, with visits from councilmembers in 2013
  • Streamlined process for small businesses to register as SBE with City of Cincinnati
  • Expanded hours at Cincinnati Health Clinics for 2000 additional patient dental visits
  • Four year council terms, a change to the city charter passed in 2012
  • Parklet at the Purple People Bridge, and now we're expanding parklets to OTR
  • Worker reimbursements at USquare Project, and new prevailing wage law

On a personal note, I am married to Cincinnati native Greg Ruthman who teaches art at St. Joseph School in the West End and works in sales at Verdin Company.  We have an 18 year old daughter headed to UC this fall. Our 5 year old son attends Kilgour. Our lovable new addition is a Rhodesian Ridgeback rescue puppy named Forrest Gump.
