Mound Street Sidewalks
Mound
Street Sidewalks between Binns Boulevard and Wayne Avenue
The city of
Columbus is continuing its plans for building sidewalks on Mound Street between
Binns Boulevard and Wayne Avenue. The new sidewalks will connect to sidewalks
built by the City in 2011 on Mound between Binns Boulevard and Brinker Avenue.
The planned improvements will increase safety for pedestrians, schoolchildren,
mobility-impaired and vision-impaired users.
Current
plans include:
- Constructing
sidewalks, curbs, stormwater inlets and Americans with Disabilities Act-compliant
ramps on both sides of Mound Street. Sidewalks will be seven feet wide between
Hague and Wayne avenues, five feet wide between Hague Avenue and Binns
Boulevard.
- Reducing
Mound Street between Hague and Wayne avenues from four lanes to three, and
Mound between Hague Avenue and Binns Boulevard from four lanes to two to
accommodate new sidewalks
- Building tree
lawns between curbs and sidewalks on both sides of Mound Street between Hague
Avenue and Binns Boulevard
- Resurfacing
asphalt and replacing pavement markings and signage on Mound Street inside
project limits
- Adding
pedestrian push-button signals at intersections of Hague Avenue & Mound and
Wayne Avenue & Mound
- Removing
traffic signals at intersections of Binns Boulevard & Mound Street and
Richardson Avenue & Mound Street
- Keeping Mound
Street between Binns Boulevard and Wayne Avenue a no-parking area
