Ah, I thought that open space on the far side in the picture was for a drive-thru. It's unusual to open a new bank branch not located in a CBD without a drive-thru, but I know a lot of rules are changing regarding how branches are done. Then you think about COVID and how many branches closed the inside due to it. My PNC branch in Lancaster for my business never opened the inside again due to COVID then the whole branch closed for good about a year later. They have another branch in DT Lancaster though.

Why was a bank in that spot even necessary? The amount of people walking into physical banks these days has to be at an all-time low. Last time I was inside a bank was in 2018 to get $100 bills. Wasted potential at a very busy intersection and cars are going to have a hell of a time taking a left out of this place.

Wasted potential is like the Clintonville motto.  Overall a nice neighborhood, but their main corridors are a joke.  It will be interesting to see how the new zoning codes treat those stretches.

I haven't lived in the neighborhood long, but it does have a lot of awesome stuff. What isn't awesome is all the random gaps, tiny little single story buildings and unnecessary buildings like this one that litter High Street and Indianola. Those two streets should be full of businesses you'd want to walk too and they're currently at maybe 50% of what it could be.

Yep.  The "downtown" of Clintonville is the best stretch despite its low heights/density.  I don't know why they wouldn't want to expand that kind of walkable development along their corridors.  Even if its only a few stories tall, as long as it was a good mix of uses, that would be much better than what they've been approving.

I was not able to get a picture as I was passing but it appears section of the front of this building has collapsed of its own accord in the last couple weeks.  The owner will probably still refuse to sell *eye roll*   

 

It's been awhile but the city did put up condemned stickers (seen here) once the development next store started.

Vision Development to build mixed-use project in front of The Ave apartments in Clintonville

 

“Vision Development is adding a mixed-use project in front of The Ave apartments in Clintonville.

 

Brent Wrightsel, founder and president of Vision Development, said his company will build a restaurant, put up an office/retail building and construct a 30-unit residential building along Indianola Avenue, just north of Indianola Plaza.

 

The one-story office/retail building will have two spaces, each about 1,300 square feet. These new locations for the commercial space will allow for outdoor dining and better street appeal, according to documents provided to the city.

 

Wrightsel said these buildings will be brick with large glass windows. He said Vision Development is working out whether the residential units at 3632 Indianola Ave. will be condos or apartments.

 

He said Vision hopes to break ground in the first quarter of 2022. Plans still need approval before Vision can start building. The company's property management arm would manage this site as well.“

 

https://www.bizjournals.com/columbus/news/2021/10/07/the-avenue-clintonville.html

Looks like there's some equipment on site in front of the Ave., so this should be getting started soon. Which would be on track to their Q1 2022 timetable. PXL_20211227_201326416.thumb.jpg.51b294152ef114862db7237e133fa172.jpg

Four-Story Building Proposed for Clintonville Site

 

A revised development proposal for a used car lot on High Street is set to be heard by the zoning committee of the Clintonville Area Commission.

A four-story, 32-unit apartment building is now being proposed for the 0.46-acre site at 3021 N. High St. The new building would contain about 2,000 square feet of commercial space on the ground floor and a partially-covered parking lot with space for 30 cars.

E4962074-5178-442F-A8B2-8ACD6D85773D.jpeg

That looks really cool and is a way better use of the space than that tiny used car lot is. A used car lot can go anywhere, it shouldn't be on the main drag in the most walkable area of the neighborhood. The parcel is so damn small though, going to be a challenge going through the approval process I imagine. Like this render even looks like it would take up every square inch of the lot and somehow there is also going to be parking for 30 cars?! I don't even know if the used car lot can even fit 30 cars! They usually have like 15-20 out there it seems.

From the article:

 

“It was 100% driven by the commission,” Higgins said, when asked about the project’s reduction in size. “They made it very clear that they would not support a five-story building despite it being on the dense High Street corridor, on the city’s busiest transit corridor, very bikeable, etc.”

“We had a traffic and parking study done, as even at the reduced size, we are short residential and commercial parking spaces,” he added. “The study said that there is ample on-street parking in the vicinity of the building to compensate for our variance request.”  

 

While not unexpected, it's still incredibly frustrating to see just how much blind pushback is thrown at any respectable attempt to add to the urban fabric in the Clintonville area. High St., as well as Indianola, should be lined with buildings such as these and other that have been proposed for the area. I truly hope this iteration gets approved without any further delay or demands for alteration of size.

I wasn't sure if here or a biking/roads forum was better but I couldn't find previous discussion on it. These Indianola businesses are driving me nuts and making me reconsider my patronage. Just some highlights from the handful of articles in the last couple months. Even on busy movie nights, the parking is almost always more than ample. Let alone daylight hours. It's as if they don't actually look outside their businesses to see. They want to remove the bike lane for a large portion of the project and just go with a Sharrow. 

 

The city's own study shows that of the 299 spaces in the entire span, an average of 76 were occupied at any one time over 25 observation periods. The city is preserving over 100. 

 

Of course, it could be resolved if the businesses on Indianola were ok with getting rid of the turn lanes and nice median the city installed to slow traffic and help pedestrians tax dollars paid for. Sorry, residents, you can't turn left on these couple blocks. You'll have to use your car to go up an extra block which would be totally OK with me. But that would be blasphemy for Clintonville residents along Indianola to have to essentially make a Michigan Left.

There are so many spots on literally every little side street right in that area. People are just so afraid of walking for whatever reason. When I have friends visit who don't live in the city I want to smack them when they complain about us having to walk 5 minutes to get somewhere. It should not be expected that you can park right in front of the door to a business, that's just crazy! Reclaim the streets for pedestrians!

The number one question I get from suburban family is 'what if someone parks in front of your house?'  'I park somewhere else and walk up the street'  'doesn't that bother you?'  'Nope' 'it's just such a different life here' 'yup'

I personally don't see why sharrows for 3 blocks is a bad thing. *ducks* It's not a "large portion of the project". I live a few blocks from here and just walk from home to Studio 35. I wouldn't be opposed to getting rid of the left turn lane and island in the middle. You would need to keep the left turn lane on southbound Indianola to eastbound Weber.

Because being forced to merge into traffic while on a bike sucks. If the city is going to put in a bike lane, it shouldn't have random gaps requiring you to merge with through traffic that may or may not let you in.

100000%, the merge. And the cars have 1 light between North Broadway and Arcadia. They already fly and forcing a merge there is alot different than even along High where there are lights almost every block.

Yep, people feel the need to hit 50 through that stretch. 

My question is why none of these business owners just do a simple search on how bike lanes affect local businesses.  If they did, they'd see that bike lanes are neutral factors at worst, but often end up helping businesses by bringing in more walkins/bikers.  Is it that they just think Indianola is somehow a vastly different situation than in all other roadway configurations across the planet where bike lanes don't hurt businesses?  Why is it consistently so hard to convince people of basic facts?

I found out today that Studio 35 has been pushing multiple emails out to their email subscribers to oppose the bike lanes and essentially stand with them against the city. Just wild.

New Plan for Indianola Keeps Bike Lanes, Adds Parking

 

Indianola-bike-lanes-June-2022-696x392.j

 

The city of Columbus has updated its plan to reconfigure a 1.2-mile stretch of Indianola Avenue in Clintonville. The new plan, which was emailed out to residents and other interested stakeholders last week, keeps the continuous bike lanes from the most-recent design, while adding more parking on the east side of the street near the business district (the stretch of Indianola between Midgard and Weber roads that is home to over a dozen shops and businesses).

 

Also added is a crosswalk and an expanded sidewalk – with bike parking – in front of Studio 35 Cinema & Drafthouse. As in the previous plan, the existing median would be removed, but the new plan is able to fit in the additional parking and the expanded sidewalk by also removing the center turn lane for cars turning onto Milford Avenue.

 

Two bus stops, one on each side of the street, will be moved under the new plan.

 

Emma Kogge, a Transportation Planner in the city’s Division of Traffic Management, said that the “precise locations [of the new stops] are still being finalized with COTA, but stops currently located within the business block will be consolidated with existing stops between Weber and Tibet, and between Midgard and Como.”

Still ridiculous that these are not protected bike lanes.

Literally all they had to do to make them protected was to swap the location of the bike lane and the parking. The bike lanes should be next to the sidewalk and the parked cars should act as the barrier between cyclist and car. Example of this style in San Diego. Also, the minimum standard should be to paint the entire bike lane green if it abuts a travel lane. You need to reinforce that visual separation for cars going 30-40 mph down the road. That little painted bike symbol doesn't do much at all. Sorry for the rant.

High St had these from 1980-1986. They were very difficult to clean and were full of broken glass. Most cyclists rode on High St and not in these lanes.

It's so surprising to me that the city was ahead of the curve and had protected bike lanes in the 80's  down high street but couldn't figure out they also needed to buy one of these.

The Tennant company of Minneapolis introduced the world to their sweeper/scrubber in 1963.

I'm also pretty certain that the parks and rec department I worked at in high school had an old ride-on sidewalk vacuum sweeper that had to have been an 1980's vintage that was made by lamborghini. But trying to Google that got me nothing but an endless list of exotic cars.

 

Anyway small sidewalk/bike lane sized sweepers definitely existed.

We can barely get the city to paint crosswalks properly, I wouldn't count on ever getting them to do bike lanes right. 

 

I'm old enough to remember when this thread was a you know what show over bike lanes, got locked down, and a ton of stuff got deleted and folks begged for it to be moved to the roads threads... 

 

Anyway, glad the city took one of my suggestions from that brief moment in history. Lol.

It's really interesting how absolutely rabid and irrational the opposition to bike lanes gets.  It's not dissimilar from that of development opposition, but they take it to the next level sometimes.  A few days ago, I responded to a FB CU article about the revamp of East Broad Street.  The plan didn't even include bike lanes, but rather a shared-use path in place of a sidewalk, and someone was trashing bike lanes as a waste of money because nobody used them.  When I pointed out Columbus technically only has 1 actual bike lane on Summit and the rest are just half_8ssed painted lines that are dangerous to use, the poster got super angry and responded with a litany of insults to the point the entire discussion was deleted by a CU mod.  There is a certain very vocal segment of the population that is extremely threatened by alternative forms of transit.  It's like some people's identities revolve around driving as much as some other's revolve around guns.

I am old and live in an area with NO infrastructure except for cars and grew up in a very car oriented time but I don't mind bike lanes. And yes I can be crotchety about driving and feeling inconvenienced by them but at the same time I am glad they are there and other people who want to use them can. And I will admit that out in Prairie township where they have bike lanes along 40, I have been surprised and pleased to see that people can be seen using them.  I never felt threatened by alternated transit forms but I have felt inconvenienced, which is something I work to get over. 

 

I think older drivers set in their ways have to be especially aware of them for safety reasons since they are sort of a new thing that we did not have to deal with when driving when younger. Drivers in general need to be more bike/pedestrian/transit friendly in their thinking and when actually driving. 

 

And yes protected bike lanes will be safer and should be in wider use. 

 

*unfortunately I have never had a good experience with COTA. Every. single. time. I have had some difficulties-usually rude crazy or obnoxious fellow passengers-which is the real problem with public transit-people who do not know how to act right use it a lot. Also I would much rather deal with bikes and bike lanes than damn motorcyclists, who are in the roads and seem to never follow any basic traffic rules. Swerving in and out of traffic, no turn signals used, etc. etc. Give me bikes and busses any day over that.

“According to building permits filed with the city of Columbus, the Clintonville shopping center will welcome off-price retailers T.J. Maxx and HomeGoods.
 

According to the city documents, work on the site will include demolishing part of the existing building at the center of the development and reconstructing it to accommodate both new stores. 
 

The entire project is nearly 46,000 square feet total, roughly 23,000 per store. 

 

The two shops join a more than 450,000-square-foot development that already counts a Target and a Kroger Marketplace among its key tenants.”

Don't get me wrong, I love some chicken.  I'll never understand waiting in line for an hour or more for fast food, though. lol.  When the first Sheetz opened, I made the mistake of checking it out in the first week, since I'd never had it and it was so hyped up.  I made my order, got told it would be an hour, and then immediately cancelled and it and left.  Still haven't had any Sheetz food.

Go to a Wendy's. There's so many of them around here that there's only one car in line and one guy sitting in it what seems like all the time. I don't see how they keep them all open. One time I drove past 5 Wendys to get to a Rallys.

Damn Chic-Fil-A for claiming that corner. Traffic at that intersection is bad enough already. It's going to be a total cluster**** when they open.

Great idea.

 

And the NIMBYS in Clintonville would totally block it on some claim of it threatening the character of their community. 🙄

Over here in Clintonville we love us some good cell phone stores and brand new bank branches (it's 2022, why are we building banks?!) at the busiest intersection in the neighborhood. Couple that with one of the worst Kroger stores in the city and you've got some real unique character!

 

/s if my sarcasm didn't smack you in the face

In Chic-Fil-A terms, that is a "fluster cluck".

 

Arch City Development plans 45-unit apartment complex in Clintonville

 

The units would be market-rate and mostly one-bedrooms. 

There would also be 2,000 square feet of commercial space on the ground floor with a patio space between the building and sidewalk, designed in a way that would not take away any on-street parking. Higgins said he's open to a variety of uses in the commercial spot. 

The entire building would include about 29,000 leasable square feet. There would be a surface lot with 28 spaces.

I'm a big fan of this. More height and density is a must along the High St. corridor in Clintonville. And a used car lot can be literally anywhere, it does not need to be on a prime time piece of real estate like this in an area that is actually quite walkable.

New Development Proposal Submitted for Clintonville Site

 

A new proposal to redevelop a used car lot on High Street will be heard by the Clintonville Area Commission’s zoning and variance committee this week.

 

The latest plan for the half-acre lot near the Weber Road intersection calls for a five-story, 45-unit apartment building on the site. The first floor of the building would hold a 2,000-square-foot commercial space and a partially-covered parking garage with space for 28 cars.

 

It marks the third time that Brian Higgins, of Arch City Development, has brought the development to the commission for discussion.

Good luck to him, I’m sure it will be turned down.
