Summer’s Officially Here! (well, in a couple of days …)
This Sunday, June 21, marks both the summer solstice and the official start of the season, the longest, sunniest day of the year. As fellow walkers, runners and cyclists, we at OKI love the extra daylight. If you’re hopping on your bike this summer, explore our interactive Bike Route Guide — a regional resource with routes for commuters and recreational riders across the tri state: https://www.oki.org/data-maps/view-data-maps/bike-route-guide/ Happy Summer!

Big day for Dayton, Ky., and for walkers and cyclists across our region: official opening of Riverwalk Phases 2 & 3. OKI is proud to support this latest addition, continuing our long-standing commitment to multi-use paths that connect people and places. Since 2002, we’ve invested $189M in bike and pedestrian infrastructure -- and more $$$ to come. Congratulations to Riverfront Commons, City of Dayton, Kentucky, and SOUTHBANK PARTNERS on yesterday’s milestone.

OKI hosted our Regional Planning Forum this morning, bringing together partners for a focused session of learning and collaboration. DarkSky Ohio Steve Hildebrandt shared powerful insights on how light pollution affects our region — along with practical steps communities can take to “restore the night.” Participants also got an inside look at OKI’s Fiscal Impact Analysis Model from OKI Senior Planner Andy Meyer, who demonstrated how FIAM supports smarter, data driven local planning decisions. Grateful to everyone who joined us and contributed to the conversation.
