Can we please get other forms of public transportation if we're having 92,000 people working downtown with the vast majority of them most likely living outside of downtown commuting via car.

What a cool proposal. Hockey is extremely big north of Columbus, love to see the continual growth.

It'd be interesting having Kemba Live down there along with an even larger venue in the "triangle". I can already see complaints about the noise issues with a new venue. When I was younger, I thought a tennis court would do well in this area, especially having all the condos/apartments nearby. You could incorporate both outdoor and indoor courts. Just need to put walking tunnels under the railroad tracks to easily get to LDC from the Northside or Kemba Live.

I like the design of the apartment/townhome buildings around the parking garage, would love to see a bodega sit on the ground floor of one of the buildings. Still, would love to get rid of the parking lot and would be cool to have a 12story+ tower on the open lot North of the stadium.

I couldn't agree more. It's frustrating, but its the same reason a Wal-Mart has parking for 500 cars... We'd also have way more people protesting a shortage of parking spots than using alternative transportation. I didn't even have a bus (besides a school bus) growing up, the only way around town was to drive as you couldn't even walk.

I'm pretty sure it's due to the amount of people living in the building they still have to provide adequate parking due to zoning rules...

YES! Everything sounds phenomenal. Saving the main structure and doing a complete renovation from GAI, 100% okay with this.

I'm not against this development, but I do believe it should be re-worked to keep the existing building. Maybe make it 6 stories of apartment with parking garage underground?

This is at the crosswalk on Parson's and I promise you none pays attention or stops for pedestrians.

Hopefully the entire strip is redeveloped. Not to mention, there's zero single family homes facing this development, who's this impacting?

What's even worse is this intersection. On Friday there was a serious accident (head on collision) from a car either trying to turn into this parking lot coming North bound on Parsons or a car trying to turn South on Parsons from Jackson St. When traffic is backed up from Livingston it makes this a terrifying situation. Also the crosswalk another block down in front of Parsons North Brewing that multiple people (even myself) have near misses from cars speeding down Parsons. Parsons is 35 MPH on this section until you hit Whittier then it turns to 25 MPH.

First I'm here of this, I can envision the building somewhere in the highlighted area:

The brick crosswalks by Children's Hospital always takes out a fender or tire every month or so...

I'm one for the subway just as everyone else, but I'd be happy with more frequent buses, new paved roads, buried power lines, and a grade separated bike lane on one side...

Probably for the low maintenance. There's a development on S Ohio Ave and Franklin Ave that looks very similar...

Not surprised, but don't see this being any long term issues for the area..

Ha! I don't wonder at all, I've had this conversation too many times for folks born between 1950-1975. Their version of the American dream was large 2500+ sq ft homes. Easy driving to everything and good schools. The silent generation lived downtowns and moved to the suburbs during redlining and passed it down to their children (baby boomers) to stay away from downtown's due to "crime, poverty, sanitary reason". I've beaten the dead horse on this too many times. Keep incentivizing businesses to go downtown, build alternative modes of transportation for folks to get downtown, and build multiple types of housing (Townhomes, condos, apartments, low income apartments, high end apartments, multi use buildings).

That is by far the nicest community center I have ever seen. Would love to see something like this downtown, could expand on the field house aspect and follow the 2012 master plan on having this located on the large surface parking lot on the corner of 4th and Nationwide.

I worked at Nationwide 9 years ago and a good majority of the folks I worked with did not want anything to do with downtown. Majority of them lived in Northern Suburbs and drove into the garage on Front St and never left the building besides to get food from the Food trucks on High St. The younger employees 35 and under already lived in surrounding neighborhoods Grandview, SN, GV, OTE, etc.. I'm not sure if this would be an attractive offer for Nationwide to provide employee's when they're already in homes close to downtown if they preferred to live close by.

Could you imagine though? South Side would be the place to be.

I don't believe they're done yet. The street is still closed for construction.

Shoot, I would've loved it to be a Buc-ee's.

I would take a decline of income of 3.9% if that meant not paying rent, who wouldn't take that deal?

Crazy they're not burying the utility poles. Also, side note can we have tree's and some landscaping? A bit too much concrete.

I like the colors, gives it a nice break from the grey/white of every other building.
