Month in Review – March 2014

Technology, ridesharing, bike infrastructure, sneckdowns and historic preservation were the hot topics last month on UrbanCincy. Take a look back at our five most popular stories in March.

The top news story in March 2014 was the arrival of Uber and Lyft in Cincinnati, as two of UrbanCincy’s top articles were focused on their services and what it means for the taxicab industry.
