I'll be the first to admit that I spread myself far too thin on such a large complex project. What I am showing is what I think could happen should all parts of the Ohio Hub be realized. I also created my own idea of what I think commuter rail in Columbus could look like using existing infrastructure. I tried my best to keep from intruding into or destroying existing areas. Unfortunately that wasn't always possible (Sorry Phillip's Coney Island).

Columbus is trying to get its name more recognized in this world and renaming things Nationwide Children's Hospital instead of Columbus Children's Hospital, as well as adding Wexner to the OSU med center will only take away from the opportunity for outsiders to more easily associate such insitutions with this city. Seriously, how many places need to be named Wexner or Nationwide.
