Life in Columbus from a bike. Exploring how our history of transportation and development will affect our future. I guess I just post old archive pics now

You know what this neighborhood needs? Surface parking lots. A TON of surface parking lots. And a big highway cutting right through it. Now *this* is progress. 1955 vs 2022

Part of the Olentangy trail through Whetstone Park is closed in both directions as of a few minutes ago. Looks like a fallen tree, so hopefully will reopen soon. No posted detour so I took this route to the bridge. Recommend taking the sidewalk on Henderson if riding through.

It is very strange not to see the Drake Union along the path anymore. Hopefully the trees they are planting there will grow quickly and provide some much needed shade.

I am a big supporter of bringing local passenger rail back to Columbus, but this is one of the dumbest things I’ve read on the subreddit. A great example of letting perfect be the enemy of good. Reads like bad satire at points.

Like they just completely ignore all the other active transit infrastructure and bus service improvements that are part of LinkUS. And what is “truly Columbus”? Should we build rail? Yes. Are we? No, so let’s do the next best thing.

That was well worth the bike ride up to Worthington to see totality! Crazy how dark and cool it got so quickly. These pics are about 5 minutes apart. So many people riding bikes on the trail to see the eclipse, this is just a few of them.

Apparently the stop line is just a suggestion when making a right on red at Ackerman and Olentangy Not pictured: the half-hearted wave and mouthed “sorry” from the lady driving the second car

In 1985 COTA wanted to test a commuter railbus on existing track that could reach up to 70 mph. It was never tested because of issues with insurance and funding. "...if Columbus ever has rail service for commuters, it is at least 10 years away." Articles + pic from the Dispatch
