Update: Nick Popa of Columbus Mobility Department presented the plans for SR161 (Linworth to Sawmill) North sidepath. Korda engineers explained it in detail. Audience comments were on North side vs South side, but no one was against the connector overall. Project would be completed in 2015.

Plans call for converting these streets to 2-way operation with bike facilities. The specific bike facilities will be determined in part by public comment received on information presented at the public meetings. You may wish to forward the meeting announcement. The announcement can be found at this link.

implementing the following:
• Converting Rich and Town streets to two-way traffic with
on-street parking
• Adding bicycle facilities, signage, streetscape enhancements and
street lighting
• Incorporating gateway features next to railroads viaducts on Rich
and Town streets
• Conducting workshops for gathering residents’ ideas on aesthetic
and gateway features
• Project limits: Rich Street, Town Street, Belle Street, SR 315
Please join representatives from the city’s Division of
Mobility Options and its consulting team on September 5 to

Let us know how this turns out Jody. I prolly won't make it. There seems a movement, national and beyond, for coming to our cycling senses. I say this based on time spent recently in Charlotte, NYC, Chicago, DC, and maybe a couple other places where there are more and more sharrows and bike lanes.

But cycling is part of a broader process of rediscovering and inventing a variety of human-powered machines, which likely are at least part of the solution---if there is one---to our ecological crisis. I envision people-powered rail vehicles for transport of some goods and services, as well as people-powered water craft.

Fellow solutionaries, how about long distance human powered air craft? I'm drawing a blank on that one.

But how feasible might human powered aircraft be for traveling distances such as 10, 20 or 50 kilometers, not to mention only 1 km ? For that, pedicycles, human-powered rail and human-powered watercraft seem much more feasible, according to my guesses.
