BLOODY RUN PARKWAY. 
For the means of identifjdng certain portions of this parkway 
for the purpose of construction, the same has been subdivided into 
sections as follows: 
Section 1: From Chapel Street and Durrell Avenue to Gilbert 
Avenue. 
Section 2

Section 5 
Hopkins). 
From Gilbert Avenue to Rockdale Avenue. 
From Rockdale Avenue to Dana Avenue. 
From Dana Avenue to Woodburn Avenue. 
From Woodburn Avenue to Asmann Avenue (formerly 
Section 6: From Asmiann Avenue crossing Sherman Avenue to 
Reading Road. 
Section 1. — The grading on this section, amounting to 82,842.5 
cubic yards, has been completed for a single roadv/ay. This roadway 
will be covered with macadam and opened for travel during the 
coming year. 
The City, through its Service Department, is now at work on the 
construction of Gilbert Avenue as relocated, where the same crosses 
the parkway. This v/ork will also be finished early in the coming year. 
In the process of construction four houses were removed from this 
section, two by the owners and two by this Department. 
With the finishing of this section, a very short connection will be 
had from Walnut Hills to Avondale, using Rockdale Avenue or 
Wyndham Avenue through Woodward Park. 
Section 2. — The roadway on this section has been in use for the 
past year and has proven very satisfactory. 
The only work by this Department was the construction of a ball- 
ground, about midv/ay of this section. 
During the coming year tennis courts will be constructed near 
the location of the ballgrounds, as well as a children's playground. 
This is made necessary owing to the grading of Section 3, as the new 
roadway runs through the old playground at Woodward Park. 
Section 3. — During the past year satisfactory arrangements have 
been made with the C. L. & N. Railway Company for the property to 
be acquired from them in order to construct the roadway between 
Rockdale and Dana Avenues, the grading of which amounts to 
approxim.ately 107,000 cubic yards. A contract has already been 
entered into and the work is, at this time, about 25% completed. 
Owing to topographical conditions, there will be but one roadway 
through this section. Lexington Avenue and possibly Glenwood 
Avenue will be connected with the parkway.
