Wetherington can be accessed from gated entrances at Cincinnati-Dayton and Tylersville Road, or through entrances at Liberty Way. The gates at the entrances were erected in 2002, making Wetherington the largest gated community in south-western Ohio at the time. This privatization was criticized for restricting public access to publicly funded roads, creating a physical boundary between lower and upper class citizens, and for symbolically being contrary to the free and democratic ideals of American society.<ref>{{cite news|last1=Clark|first1=Michael|title=Neighbors to vote on erecting gates|url=http://www.enquirer.com/editions/2001/02/24/loc_neighbors_to_vote_on.html|access-date=April 20, 2015|work=The Cincinnati Enquirer|date=February 24, 2001}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|last1=Schaefer|first1=Walt|title=Neighborhood gate cuts off traffic|url=http://www.enquirer.com/editions/2001/12/21/loc_neighborhood_gate.html|access-date=April 20, 2015|work=The Cincinnati Enquirer|date=December 21, 2001|quote=Some neighbors and local workers grumble that the upper crust is bent on keeping out the common folk.
