Alleyways and those long-forgotten public stairs that seem to lead to nowhere can seem uninviting. But a local group is making them safer, more beautiful places to walk.

Spring in Our Steps is a nonprofit dedicated to preserving and improving public walkways. You can learn more about Spring in Our Steps at the June 14.

On Cincinnati Edition, we discuss how the initial idea for Spring in Our Steps came after the co-founder was robbed, and how the group is bringing out the beauty in formerly neglected public spaces.

Guests:

  • Christian Huelsman, co-founder and executive director,
  • Jenny Ustick, associate professor of art, University of Cincinnati College of Design, Architecture, Art and Planning
  • Derek Scacchetti, founder,

Listen to Cincinnati Edition live at noon M-F. Audio for this segment will be uploaded after 4 p.m. ET.
