1948 rendering of the proposed Spring Sandusky interchange. There used to be a golf course where 10TV and the post office are today. You can see the Crew smoke stack in operation spewing black smoke…

I wish Kaufman would pave the sidewalks along W Broad. They're asphalt paths and gravel. Seems cheap to me. The construction of Gravity tore out the existing walks - that project should replace them

I prefer the old "Tri-Village" name.

Actually a huge renovation. Ohio Stadium has been mentioned as a potential Browns home field for 2 years. (Bringing it back to the OSU thread)

High St. will be closed to vehicular traffic from 2nd to Russell during the Holiday Hop on Dec. 2nd. That'll be cool!

I don't see the substation moving. It could be screened better, or enclosed like the one on Gay St. at Lazelle. Plenty of parking lots to infill in the current view. The old railroad site along Vine is not really accessible without a major concession by ODOT. The ramp coming off of 315 to Vine needs to be reconfigured and a signal added west of Neil to create a full service intersection into that site. There really needs to be forward thinking from ODOT to make that happen so I'm not really holding my breath...

Roughly the same view in the 1950s vs. last year. In the earlier photo, Dennison Ave runs south to Spring by the pen. This was reconfigured when the Goodale Expressway was constructed. There’s a pond in Goodale Park along Dennison and Flytown is intact. Most of the railroad infrastructure has been replaced by 670. The Arena District was basically the prison and industry back in the 50s. In my mind, some of the change is definitely good. It seems car infrastructure today takes up about as much space as the railroad did (at least in this view).

Where's the third plant? As far as I know the City just has two: Jackson Pike and Southerly

I love the homage to the huge parking garage next door!

Even with all that, it'll still be a retail dead zone. It's a dead end street. Retail needs more traffic.

Kind of a dead zone for retail unless it's Crew related.

1922, Broad & High. No parking lots and vibrant street life.

I don't mind this, it only has a 28' frontage on 3rd.

They should renovate the school building and use it as a rental office and club house for the residents.

But OSU does need more intramural fields since Carmentonville will eat up all of West Campus

Per the Framework 3.0 plan, more dorms will be added to the south dorms area along W. 11th There are other spots too. Once they have the housing the towers will come down.

Probably a bit of both. Once you get above 75' it becomes a high rise triggering more elevators and structural costs. The developer will fell the need to construct more parking (even though it is not required in the downtown district) because they feel they cannot fill the building without parking. It's a Catch 22 - parking is expensive to build and drives up rents but if you don't build parking you might not rent the building. If the developer can't get a return on the SF rent with the additional cost they won't go higher. Aesthetically it makes sense to go taller here - views of downtown and Goodale Park. The height would help visually diminish the scale of 670. But those don't make sense financially. I read a lot of "taller, taller, taller" on the board but I don't think that is necessary. Paris is mostly 5-7 story buildings with a density of 52,000 people per square mile (Columbus is a paltry 4,100/sq mile overall with some areas like 43201 around 11,000/sq mile). I would rather see continued infill with the eventual phase out of the need for built-in parking over time.

Yeah, I love the windows!

This is very similar to the photo I took a year and a half ago that got shared on Reddit

Dublin is known to move the goal posts regularly.

It dead ends into the prison wall. I'm not sure when Naughten was renamed Nationwide. Maybe around this time?

Is 12 years ago historic? Here’s a photo I took of the Short North from the 14th floor of the then under construction Hilton 1.0. Taken in Nov. 2011. There’s been a ton of new construction in a dozen years!

1981 or so. The Ohio Pen is at the top and you can see the beginnings of the AEP tower construction at the top left of the photo. Lots of convenient parking!!

There might not be a delay at all. Older buildings undergo extensive remediation prior to demo (asbestos, lead, etc.)
