The bar across the top of the one side might just be to help them stay straight until they finish, and to make sure someone doesn’t knock them over??

This should turn out to be pretty cool! Probably like the lighting under the 3rd street bridge on Nationwide Blvd.

Right now you have to go either to Grandview, Short North or even Hilliard on this side of town. Edited June 5Jun 5 by Gnoraa
June 5Jun 5 I hope in future years, there is development on the North/South lots to connect the storefronts/businesses between Town and Rich streets. It will just make the cohesiveness of the continually urbanizing neighborhood better IMO. I get down to Franklinton weekly, and lately when walking around, there is one lot of land, that I'm sure is prime for development, however every time I walk by it it feels like it would make a great little park for the area. It already has some good mature trees. It would just need some parklike attention with lamps, maybe a path or two, flower beds, benches and a fountain.The red in my screen shot would be great future development lots, but the green is the park space I'd love to see built out.
