Corridor Overview
This study evaluates strategies to improve safety and mobility along 17th Avenue to the northeast of Downtown Columbus. The study begins at 17th Street and extends north to Talbotton Road, near Warm Springs Road. The corridor is approximately 0.9 miles long and posted for 30 mph. This corridor is predominantly residential, with two travel lanes, curb and gutter, and sidewalks along some portions. On-street parking is not prohibited, however, striped parking spaces are lacking. Marked crosswalks are lacking, and some intersections are quite large (wide) without ADA curb cuts.
The primary objective of this study is to provide the most appropriate safety enhancements that may include traffic calming, sidewalk repairs and extensions, intersection upgrades, and/or signing and marking improvements.
We used your feedback to fully understand how this corridor functions for daily users. Traffic counts, turning movement counts, and crash data can only provide one side of the story. Feedback from you, the citizens who drive, ride, walk, or bike along these corridors has been essential to this process. Thank you for contributing to the survey and interactive map.
Tell us who you are, and how you use this corridor. Please also share with your friends on social media. We need as much feedback as possible to better understand your needs for the corridor!
