Cincinnati is always trying new and wacky stuff. There was a law struck down not long ago that attempted to ban individuals from reentering part of the City if convicted of a crime while in the area (and they did not live there). I know I am not explaining it well, but the goal was to (I believe) try to stop gang members or other groups from congregating together.
As for the homeless, I would think its a backhanded way of trying to clear them out without directly going after them. To claim that it is for THEIR safety [no really, that car was skidding right towards you!] seems awful thin to me. Not that living under a bridge would be my ultimate Barbi dreamhouse.
