The Strategic Plan for Westwood was prepared in response to a Cincinnati City Council motion adopted unanimously on January 24, 2001. The motion called for a plan addressing a number of community concerns, including an increasing crime rate, structures which do not meet the City Building Code, unkempt thoroughfares, and others. While these circumstances were not evident in all sections of Westwood, they were sufficient to create cause for concern.
To address these issues the City Planning Department convened a Strategic Planning Task Force comprised of residents, neighborhood business owners, and City staff. In identifying the strengths and weaknesses of Westwood as seen through the eyes of residents, it was evident that, without question, the strengths outnumbered the weaknesses. Residents like the quiet tree-shaded streets where many of their homes are located. They like the convenience of close proximity to shopping. And they like their neighbors and the many features that make the community a desirable place in which to raise a family.
