That's the first time I've seen "Wright centers of Innovation" mentioned anywhere, outside of two Geography classes I had with Dr. Cox at OSU (1999/2000).

You are just myopic aren't you.

Dude. I don't like sound walls. They give me tunnel vision. I'd rather have the scenery along the roadway than walls. I understand and to some extent appreciate why sound walls are put up if the residents had to let a roadway into their neighborhood. I don't like it when someone moves next to a known hazard and then wants to be protected. You don't like noise? Then why did you move next to a freeway? In my case it is more the look of the walls and people wanting to be saved from themselves than the money spent.

I'm glad the developers came correct concerning the ement-domain threat. I'm still mixed about them needing to go to I-71. Visability from the freeway would help the project, but again, there is more than enough room at the Timken site, none of the housing needs to be taken out for this. Maybe Summit St or ColDayMan can get a couple of photos of Timken so everyone can see how expansive the site is.

I've always held the opinion that those who moved to (or constructed) houses next to a freeway should NOT get sound walls (vs those who had to make way for a freeway).

Columbus has not tried to annex previously plotted municipalities. Thus Grandview Hts, Marble Cliff, Upper Arrlington, Worthington, Bexley, and Whitehall are all safe from Columbus taking them over. :-)

Only thing I can think of would be funding/responsibility for street maintance. I'm not entirely sure.

Actually, the simplest thing for Columbus and ODOT to do is to move all the state/federal numbers off the downtown streets (and move them to the innerbelt).

Not this week (outside of my schoolwork I've procrastenated on). This weekhttp://www.louisianasmusic.com/brbw05/ Past weekend http://www.festivalinternational.com Past weekend and next weekend www.nojazzfest.com So.... Besides falling snow and the ongoing Youngstown mayoral debate, whacha' got going on up in Ohio right now?! :-P Are you serious? How about over all quality of life. Just because you have a weekend of music fests doesn't make Louisiana special. You have New Orleans and the rest of the state is a pit. But it's not Cincinnati. :-P (You forget, I'm a native Clevelander)

Sucks to be Cincinnati in that case.

I'm sure there is a thesis or dissertation or two concern "South Campus" floating around Thompson Library as well.

Talk to the Geography department.....or pester ColDayMan enough so he will ask around the Urban & Regional Planning department.

Evidently that person has never been to Louisiana either. You can go from the toxic smell of the plastics factories along the Mississippi (from Baton Rouge to New Orleans) to spicy smell of cajun food in Lafayette.

Start pilfering material from Chamber of Commerce websites. They have the duty of selling their community to the outside world to come visit, live, or start your business there. (but site your references.)

What are Ohio's laws concerning recalls? Otherwise, he can't run for re-election. Unless he and DeWine are going to trade jobs, Taft isn't going to be running for a statewide office again anytime soon. Who the fuck cares what his approval rate is right now.

If it were to be a contest, then I ask that you cut the collection into thirds. I'm more apt to try 40-50 shots, not 127.

If could wait a week later, I'd be up from Baton Rouge to scope the scene. As is, I'll have to ask my parents for a report.

It's the far away visionary look. :-)

OHIO! F*ck Yeah! :-D :wink:

That's because traffic from the north, east, and south goes into I-70 WB to the Mound St. exit (and directly into Copper Stadium, for the last 7 years or so) folks from the westside have to use West Broad and Glenwood. Bellows parallels I-70/Broad St. What does he see from his house...besides the Brewer Cote factory and Mt. Carmel hospital?

Meanwhile, Myrtle Beach really, really, really wants Ohio (and that state up north as well) to build I-73. http://www.myrtlebeachonline.com/mld/sunnews/news/opinion/11372069.htm?template=contentModules/printstory.jsp Posted on Tue, Apr. 12, 2005 EDITORIALS Selling Other States on Interstate Convincing Michigan, Ohio residents of need for I-73 is vital It's disappointing that highway officials in Michigan and Ohio are showing little interest in making plans for Interstate 73 a reality, as leaders in West Virginia, Virginia and the Carolinas have. But those in the southern states of the proposed interstate route shouldn't let the attitudes of those along the northern sections be too discouraging. We agree with Rep. Alan Clemmons, R-Myrtle Beach and president of the S.C. I-73 Association, who says public demand for the road can change the position of highway officials in those two states. Residents of Ohio and Michigan are frequent visitors to the S.C. coast, and they probably will pressure their officials to complete the road to the north when it appears definite that the southern part of the route will be built. Even though Congress has designated I-73 as a priority corridor, a commitment by the states involved is essential. No federal money has been promised for the project, so funding is left up to the states. Members of the Myrtle Beach Area Chamber of Commerce headed to Washington, D.C., today plan to spend time lobbying for support of I-73 on their trip. Grand Strand leaders, wisely, are determined to keep reminding other states of the importance of the project. An interstate stopping at the West Virginia-Ohio border would not give our region the same economic boost as the proposed route stretching from Sault Ste. Marie, Mich., to Myrtle Beach. Re-forming an association of the six states the road crosses could be an important key to building public demand for the interstate in Michigan and Ohio. The association formed in the early 1990s but broke down after no federal funding was promised. It is important that Grand Strand leaders, as well as others along the proposed route, convince those in Michigan and Ohio of the value of I-73. If you are interested in seeing another, more "national," debate about this latest flare up in I-73 news, you can (try to) follow this following thread: http://groups-beta.google.com/group/misc.transport.road/browse_frm/thread/842e68118103c2d8/a01eabc8e804058c?tvc=1#a01eabc8e804058c

If anyone tries to demolish Cooper. There will be a fight against it. Maybe from Franklinton, maybe from historic preservationists, someone(s) will want it to continue standing. :|

In 1987 there were 5 traffic lights along US 23 between I-270 and Waldo (Campus View, Powell Rd, Hyatt-Shanahan Rds, Oh 315-Stratford Rd, and Delaware State Park), and for shits and giggles only 25 traffic lights in all of Delaware County. Today, you can find 25(!) traffic lights on US 23 between I-270 and Waldo. Just as many as there were in all of Delaware County less than 20 years ago. And its quite possible to have 100 traffic lights in all of Delaware County today (I'm not going to bother trying to count). Of course there are a multitude of reason as to why that is so today. Even if it was just two lanes through Delaware county, but with those two lanes being dedicatted lanes with no businesses off to the side and no stops or intersections, thatt would probably be better than thte current situation.

The I-75-Oh 15-US 23 corridor is just fine....outside of maybe widening I-75. But Findley to Delaware is just fine as is.
