Right, that whole article read like an ad for the hospital. Every challenge they’re facing is faced by anyone building in any downtown anywhere (except maybe the helicopters).

I’ve noticed this too. I’m convinced it’s either because people think curvier roads look prettier (especially in a rendering) or it’s some really terrible attempt at getting people to drive the speed limit. Either way it drives me nuts because IMO it looks worse, I’m guessing it’s more expensive, and if you want people to drive slower there’s so many better ways to achieve that (like for starters don’t make the road so damn big!). Sawmill north of 270 is an egregious example.

Here’s a few photos from around 12:30p today, taken from the top of the Starling garage -

I wonder if the Bronzeville sign also got axed. I hope not.

Small crane falls on vehicle in Upper Arlington; operator injured “UPPER ARLINGTON, Ohio — Authorities are investigating after a small crane brought into an Upper Arlington construction site fell Monday afternoon, crushing a vehicle and sending the machine's operator to the hospital. A spokesperson for the city of Upper Arlington said the crane was brought to the site of the Bob Crane Community Center, located near the Kingsdale Shopping Center, to assist with dismantling the main construction crane.” Yikes, fortunately no serious injuries.

That’s my biggest reservation to this. I’d really miss the more human scale of those smaller buildings, regardless of their architectural significance.

A little disappointing that they’re only putting 30 units on 9 acres.

I really hope we see a more concrete timeline for the Cleveland BRT line soon. A road diet on Cleveland is so badly needed (as well as better transit).

They’re putting up a few overhead light-up pedestrian signs along Cleveland (at Kenmore, 19th, and Camden/Leona). Nice to see, although I’m a little skeptical that drivers will obey the signs…. Here’s a blurry pic of the one at Kenmore:

Work has started on this Autozone (along with a big sign advertising the Autozone).

I think this may be happening in a few weeks, at least to some degree. Sounds like vehicle traffic will be restricted to daytime hours (and within that possibly just to buses visiting COSI), so the public street parking may be eliminated. Great news!

Agreed completely, it’s really not that bad. I found it pretty amusing that Columbus made that video.

I heard from a friend of a friend (who is involved with Walmart) that the store closed because the city wanted it closed. I didn’t get any more details, but it sounded like the city wants to build on the land.
