June 6, 20241 yr The Galaxy at Polaris development taking shape, with apartments, restaurants and more "One year into construction, The Galaxy at Polaris development is taking clear shape on the former Germain Amphitheater site east of Ikea in the Polaris area. When completed, the 30-acre site is expected to include more than 600 apartments, several restaurants and entertainment destinations, some offices, a pond, 10 acres of green space, and, in a nod to the property's past, a modest amphitheater.

Hopefully this is successful and it pushes more housing on the other side of the road to fill in. There is no reason the Polaris area couldn’t be a second bridge park. I would argue, other than for the river, it’s a way better location for that type of development. It has super easy access to anywhere else in the city and that’s what out of town people like.

August 9, 2024Aug 9 I would compare it more to bowling. It's simple enough that you don't need to have training to be half-decent and enjoy your time, it can be casual enough that it's an excuse to get together and drink, it can be competitive enough that people get into it and want to continue as they improve. Plus it's easy for commercial venues to rent out the basic equipment. It may not be the most exciting activity available (especially for people who are active/wealthy enough to play tennis), but it's pretty accessible to a wide swath of the population.

September 19, 2024Sep 19 Westerville to develop Africa Road area ...“In 2023, the city acquired four tracts of land totaling 88 acres east of Africa Road for economic development purposes, with the intent to develop the land for commercial use and job growth,” said Westerville’s website. “The city has initiated East of Africa Land roadway and other infrastructure planning for the site, including utility, stormwater, greenway and park design.” For reference, the property is below OhioHealth and Polaris Parkway on Africa Road, which ends at County Line Road. It is across from Central Ohio Primary Care Physicians (COPC) to the west, and the Ashton Village and Courtyards at Village Crossing subdivisions to the east. Once built out, Westar Boulevard to the south would be extended across Africa, meeting up with an extended Hoff Road at a roundabout and connecting to the north with Polaris Parkway. Two future traffic signals would go in on Africa Road and one along Polaris Park “The subject site is adjacent to Westerville’s successful mixed employment center of Westar Place,” the city said. “This area has generated nearly 10,000 jobs and is home to new and growing amenities, as well as multiple companies, including the North American headquarters of DHL Supply Chain and the corporate headquarters of Vertiv, Lancaster Colony and COPC.” Documents provided by the city show the owner of the four parcels (55, 31, 1 and .75 acres) to be Westerville Industry and Commerce Corporation. The existing land use is Agricultural and Residential, and the existing zoning is Planned Development, meaning commercial, office, and industrial uses. The land would also have parks and open space in what the city calls a “mixed employment center/neighborhood.” https://www.delgazette.com/2024/09/17/westerville-to-develop-africa-road-area/

Yeah anyone who complains about parking in downtown Columbus, I'm not listening to whatever comments they're following up with. It's so easy to park downtown, and hopefully as the years progress there is less and less incentive to even drive a car downtown. I come from a city where event parking was $80+ so even the most convenient parking near whatever event you're going to in Columbus is still cheap in the grand scheme of things and you have so many super cheap and free options also available to you. It's not the cities fault if you're too lazy to walk more than a few blocks. Cities are for people not for cars.

I was just in Rotterdam, The Hague, and Amsterdam a little over a month ago. While I loved my time there and was impressed by their various modes of transportation, this comparison is pretty ridiculous. Let me explain. Although further north, The Netherlands has a climate far more conducive to biking than Central Ohio. Their weather is way more mild in terms of temperature (it doesn't get as hot as here or as cold as here), and it's not as rainy or snowy. Take a look at normal temperatures, for example, for Rotterdam and Amsterdam compared to Columbus. Normal highs in June-August are typically around 68-72F. Pretty comfortable. Here, they are typically around 82-86F. Not so comfortable. Normal lows for Rotterdam and Amsterdam for the December-February timeframe hover around 34 degrees pretty consistently. In Columbus, during that timeframe, our lows are typically around 22-27 degrees. Pretty cold. We are often lucky to get above their daily low temps during the winter. In the last 35 years, Rotterdam has never recorded a single temperature below 0F. Amsterdam has a record low in that period of time of -3.5F. We are consistently dipping below 0F in the dead of winter. Our record low in the last 35 years is -22F, and we've managed to dip below 0F in five different months. We often have about 10 days during the winter where it's literally unsafe to be out riding a bike due to the extreme cold and wind. That's an extreme rarity in the Netherlands. In terms of record highs, when it gets hot here, it gets hot. Often times dangerously hot in the middle of the day. Our record high in the past 35 years is 106F. We've eclipsed the 100F mark in four different months, and eclipsed 90F in an additional three months. Rotterdam only has one month in which they've eclipsed the 100F mark, and Amsterdam has never managed to do it. You also have to consider the UV index in each region. The sun tends to be far "stronger" here than in the Netherlands, leading to it feeling even warmer here during the summer. Their UV index tends to max out at a 6 in June/July, meanwhile we are sitting at a 8-9 from May-Sept., and even get up to 6 in April and October. We also deal with more precipitation here. We average about 10 more precipitation days here than they do in the Netherlands, and we also deal with quite a bit more snow. Amsterdam's average snowfall TOTAL for an entire year is about 7 inches. We can see then in one 24 hour period. Our average snowfall total for a year is 28 inches, four times more than what they have to deal with. Couple all of that with the fact that the majority of that country was developed 100+ years before cars were widely available, and you end up with a place so wildly different than here that's it's ridiculous to even compare the two. Amsterdam might as well be a completely different universe than Columbus. It's all built around canals. The roads are tiny and cannot be widened. You can't build a highway through the city. There's hardly any incentive to drive a car a there, so biking/public transit it is. Rotterdam is much the same. The city center, which was destroyed during WW2 and rebuilt in the 50s is somewhat car centric, by Dutch standards, but it's still a hassle to get anywhere in the city by car because of how everything has been built up over centuries. And in addition to the wildly different weather and patterns of development, the population density is wildly different than here as well. Rotterdam and The Hague are about as far from each other as downtown Columbus is from Dublin. Rotterdam is about as far from Amsterdam as Newark is from downtown Columbus. It's just so different. I'm all for building up cycling infrastructure in our more densely populated urban areas, but to expect even our most densely populated areas to ever come anywhere close to Amsterdam or Rotterdam is insane.

I'm still not convinced that the weather in Columbus, Ohio, makes cycling impossible. Cycling happens in the winter in countries with worse weather. How about Finland? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uhx-26GfCBU I also wasn't saying that everyone should be cycling instead of driving a car. The point is that it should be an option, even if I would never expect my grandmother to choose it. My comment was limited to the weather, but I agree with you that nearly 100 years of building-for-the-car makes low-density America ill-suited for large numbers of people taking up cycling. But it's not as impossible as you might think. The Netherlands itself was full of cars and sprawling development (not as sprawling as in the US, but lots of new construction on the outskirts of the cities) in the 1950s and 1960s. Many of the beautiful plazas were parking lots. Some of the canals were filled in to add roadways. It wasn't until the 1970s that The Netherlands made a conscious decision to restrict cars in city centers and promote cycling. Even then, it took multiple decades to get from there to now. https://inkspire.org/post/amsterdam-was-a-car-loving-city-in-the-1970s-what-changed/ I continue to reject the idea that it can't happen here. This is America -- we can accomplish anything that we put our mind to! The US, and Columbus, could work to change the transportation priorities between and within more-densely-built neighborhoods. Put parking garages on the outskirts of Polaris (and German Village) (not unlike within OSU's campus) and only allow deliveries and buses into the built-up areas, reduce road widths, add walking and cycling paths, add more apartment, condo, and townhouses to bring in more people. The result would be a Polaris that is a much nicer community to live in and visit.
