    Central Parkway is one of Cincinnati's major parkways in a citywide network envisioned in the 1907 park plan by George Kessler. Extending along the former route of the old Miami & Erie Canal, central Parkway was developed in conjunction with a rapid transit railway, which was to run in a tunnel created in the old canal bed, however, the subway was abandoned mid-construction and never completed.
