A combination of support from Hyde Park East Chamber of Commerce, Hyde Park Neighborhood Council, Hyde Park Neighborhood Improvement Corporation, and Cincinnati's Neighborhood Support Program, and others has resulted in three new identification pillars located at the Erie Ave and Saybrook Intersection. These pillars mimic the pillars originally constructed when Hyde Park East neighborhood was originally constructed back in the early 1900's. If all goes well, additional pillars will be constructed as funds become available.
