Ohio Avenue and Champion Avenue Bike Lanes
Description:
Mayor
Michael B. Coleman’s vision for Columbus streets includes as many bicycle
accommodations as possible within the existing right-of-way. This project
consists of new pavement markings, bike lanes and signage on:
- Ohio
Avenue between Cole Street and Mount Vernon Avenue
- Champion
Avenue between Cole Street and Mount Vernon Avenue
The
project will connect to existing bike lanes and sharrows on Ohio and Champion
avenues plus sharrows on Bryden Road, contributing further to a
continuous network of bikeways in Columbus. Riders can also use COTA buses on
route #81 that runs between University City Shopping Center on Olentangy River
Road and Rickenbacker Air Base to “bike and ride.”
Schedule:
Construction is set to begin in August,
with completion scheduled for October 2015, weather permitting.
Estimated
Cost:
Construction: $425,700. This project also
includes bike lanes on Long and Spring streets.
