The new location on Fifth Street will span from Main to the Columbia Parkway and I-71 on-ramps.

Quite frankly I think this location sucks. I don't know why they felt the need to move from 2nd/3rd and to such a terrible location on 5th. At least by Fountain Square on 5th it was ok but I detest this location personally.

I actually like the location. Taste of cincy was on the same span last year, didn’t go this year so not sure if they moved it.

I personally thought 2nd/3rd last year was an awful and extremely dangerous location literally hovering over I-71. The street space and mobility is really limited, it felt like a sardine can.

I do think they’re gonna need a lot more room than they’ve allotted on 5th though, at least down to fountain square for sure. 3 blocks is laughable.

I honestly feel 2nd/3rd has had the most room of any location yet. Anything on 5th just feels constricted, especially as you get to the highway ramps.

Like I said in the other comment, caps on FWW can't come soon enough. I think that would allow for some good land use and a pleasant place for street festivals.
