Congrats to the city for getting this done! Now lets keep 'em coming. Pack downtown full of workers, we've got too much space!

Can't wait for this to happen! I really hope they take over the Salvation Army building. It's the only building in the Brewery District that brings in a "questionable" element. It's my understanding that Grange asked for two TIFs, and the first, for streetscape improvements, has already been approved. I think the second one has to do with the city earmarking taxes for a parking garage for the 800 employees. Sidenote: Have you ever thought about how perfectly Columbus is built to ride out downturns in the economy? Insurance, Government, Healthcare, and Utilities make up a huge chunk of the workforce. All of those jobs are relatively safe during recessions.

This pedestrian RR crossing is long overdue. I cross these tracks on foot at least 3 times/week. They're covered with heavy gravel, and in the winter, they're covered with ice. It's far from safe.

They just see a business disaster, while I see a business opportunity. A little advertising could have gone a LONG way.

Shouldn't COTA be greeting higher gas prices with open arms? I know it's a big expense, but they could be using this as an opportunity to get thier ridership up. All suburban commuters are facing the same high gas prices, and could likely save money if they switched to public transportation. Rather than call it the perfect storm and ask people to feel sorry for them, they should see an opportunity for salvation.
