It worked unchanged for decades without the high rate of accidents we have today and what are we going to do when the "fix" needs to be done again and again?</p> <p>Oh well, they're having a meeting at 4:30 to ensure no one makes it. Most people get off of work at 5 and are unlikely to go to something when they already missed at least half of it.</p> <p>Once again it's rather clear that cars are the #1 priority of ODOT and you can bet the new feeder streets will negate the connectivity of the caps. We'll have the highway and then two mini-highways on either side. I don't understand why just because a street is a feeder street means that it can't be pedestrian-friendly. Whether or not this is going forward, with money they do not have to be doing this in the first place BTW, is irrelevant as to making our existing feeder streets more pedestrian-friendly (and business-friendly: see Gay St). They can still funnel highway traffic from the south side to the north side and vice versa at a slower speed while still timing lights for traffic to hit all green lights. ODOT hasn't bothered to do this before and they still haven't on existing feeders, so we have no reason to believe that they will in the future.</p> <p>The most important questions are: why is there no opposition whatsoever from city officials who should absolutely be against this and is ODOT still going to tear down commercial buildings on Parsons which they even admitted in the meeting about Dodge Park in Franklinton wasn't necessary, but the purpose is for the fastest traffic flow possible? </p> http://www.columbusunderground.com/forums/topic/odot-meeting-i-7071-south-innerbelt-study-119-430pm#post-246171 Mon, 09 Nov 2009 15:12:42 +0000 Thory 246171@http://www.columbusunderground.com/forums/ <p>Could one help Franklinton push back even if one doesn't live in Franklinton?
