"Purchase of eight traffic lights, to be installed in the near future at Fourth, Fifth, Seventh, and Eleventh Street intersections with Scott Street; Sterrett and Madison Avenue; Pike & Holman Streets; Fifth and Madison; and Ritte's Corner in Latonia was determined upon by Covington City Commissions, meeting in conference recently. Commissioners decided to install six traffic lights as a preliminary step toward a complete traffic system in Covington."  from Motour: The Magazine of the Cincinnati Automobile Club, May, 1928.

It's obvious in the above image that Greenup lines up with Cincinnati's Walnut
 Street (and Covington's Scott Street lines up perfectly with Cincinnati's Vine Street), so
how is it that the Suspension Bridge doesn't line up with either???  Find out here.
