Summit Street

summit and 11th. now i live 2 streets north and 1/2 mile east of you

mrnyc: i made a thread a couple months ago with some pictures of the gateway, i don't know where it is now...you could do a search function and it should come up and to clarify, central city columbus has 250,000 people right now. in 1950 it was 376,000 in those 50 sq. miles

the high five bar had nothing to do with campus partners. the owner renovated then sold after there was the fire in a nightclub in connecticut or something. the old bank building at the corner has plans to have something done to it, i saw a sign up looking for leasers. as for weinland park, campus partners wants to make it a place where all the students aren't afraid to go anymore...as in they want to kick out the current residents.....mostly poor blacks. campus partners is trying to completely take over the area, and is pressuring everything in the neighborhood to sell. i personally know people who have had lives misplaced so they can have their way. they wanted to take down the newport, they wanted to take everything down as far north as they could. more things: "Recommendation 14.4.4: Assure the parking requirements are maintained during the review process to require the following parking space for new developments: 3.0 spaces per 1,000 square feet of retail space, and 2.5 spaces per 1,000 square feet of office space." "One situation that would be a candidate for this type of conversion would be blocks where adjacent on-street parking would be removed to provide additional traffic lanes or to convert one-way streets to two-way operation. In this scenario, off-street parking spaces would be developed behind the residences to replace lost on-street spaces. Candidates for this type of parking conversion could include blocks along East 11th Avenue, West 10th Avenue, and selected blocks along East Woodruff, Indianola, and East 12th Avenues." <i>fuck parking lots, we have plenty already. </i> "Downzoning: In 1979, much of the University District was downzoned to protect existing neighborhoods and limit inappropriate development. With the adoption of the second University District Overlay in 1992, the area was effectively downzoned again. While the underlying zoning classification in many areas is still R-4, the Overlay?s FAR limitations effectively creates densities more consistent with the R2-F classification. The recommendation for further downzoning is meant to formalize what the Overlay has successfully started, while at the same time increasing the desirability of these neighborhoods for new single-family ownership. The reduced zoning will assure buyers their property values will be preserved." <i> yeah, making everything single family holmes will really help add urbanity? if columbus didn't ban surface lots between structures and high street now, i would imagine they would be all over that </i> <i>here are some of the campus partners reasons for university district decline...</i> "Elements of Decline: A review of past and current conditions in the University District has led to the identification of ten key elements contributing to the decline in the University District?s quality of life: A 40-year evolution of the District into a high density, student-residential core without adequate modification or expansion of supporting infrastructure, public services, parks, or open space. Disorganized and insufficient parking; constrained service access; inefficient and poorly maintained retail spaces; and non-existent street maintenance all preclude a vibrant, diverse business corridor. Over-concentration of liquor licenses within the south High Street bar district at the High Street ? 11th Avenue intersection. The negative image of the area is worsened by the highly visible police patrols required on weekends to manage crowds frequenting the bars. The perceptual barriers of Ohio State University that the physical campus and hence the institution's responsibility stops at High Street. The intense concentration of subsidized housing in the area, especially in the southeast corner of the District, and a fragmented approach to human service assistance, delivery, and support." <i>time to get hypocritical, eh? where is the chittenden hotel now? jack nicklaus is probably in tears</i> "Recommendation 15.2.1: Encourage conservation and adaptive reuse of existing buildings." "Locally Owned Business Retention and Encouragement: Existing merchants are an indispensable component of High Street?s future. Considerable effort should be made to assist them in realizing a long-term place in the community?s revitalization at the same time helping them to develop a more prosperous future." <i> there are a group of rowhouses off 4th street that were section 8...campus partners says they will be renovating them, although i fear that they will screw it up.. i used to be able (i changed homes) to look out my bedroom window and see a big ass pile of dirt from what the neighborhood used to be. at least the taco bell is still there</i> :roll: okay i've rambled enough for now

ah yes, that's what i was thinking of. for whatever reason, i seem to like it a bunch

if the bingham is that one building i'm thinking of, then i like it.

^speaking of goofy things like strands of lights above streets, the 2 northernmost short north arches have been lit up recently. they are trying different ways of doing it that will actually work. and nearly all bus routes other than the 102("number 2 north high route") are sad. if i go downtown i just walk because its quicker than waiting for the number 4, unless i can actually see the damn thing at my stop. but we're not in a place like europe, so i can't really expect much better.... i find it hilarious when i see people stand at a bus stop for nearly half an hour, pay the fare then get off 4 blocks down. so how easy is it to take a bus from legacy village to crocker park? :-D

i hate this project, and campus partners needs to die. thanks for nothing you bloody wankers.

even though i didnt register til later, the site has been about a year, yay :-) is today the anniversary? or sometime around it? whenever here's to another year even better than the first :clap:

yeah, thats what we need downtown....another place for people to come and complain that there isn't enough parking in downtown columbus, the wankers kinda funny how people say they're against gambling in ohio when the lottery sells a zillion tickets every time. plus things like the racehorse tracks.
