Corridor Overview
This study evaluates strategies to improve safety and mobility along 8th Street just south of Downtown Columbus. The study begins at Front Avenue and extends east to Veterans Parkway. The corridor is approximately 0.4 miles long. This corridor is predominantly residential, with two (wide) travel lanes, intermittent curbs, on-street parking along some portions, and sidewalks that are 20’ from the roadway. Marked crosswalks are present at most intersections, and even some mid-block locations.
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 & interactive map.
