Among the changes proposed for January are these:
I couldn't see what I was typing last night...
# 51 ODOT Express may be cut, because the # 10 West Broad Street also goes to ODOT during the morning and afternoon rush, and it's pretty much redundant
# 3 Northwest Blvd. & 84 OSU/Arlington's end point at Kingsdale will be the stop on Northwest Blvd. near the Giant Eagle Market District (# 3 will stop on Tremont during the morning rush only)
# 92 James/Stelzer is going to Easton on weekdays only (for the time being), and will still serve the Airport in both directions
# 87 is considering cutting a deviation near Agler & Cassady to speed up the line
# 21 is going to end in the Brewery District (to Sycamore- to be exact)
ALL of the Express lines will be looked at for on-time performance
NO Local/Crosstown bus stops will be consolidated; rather 8 more express lines (serving Northwest Columbus, Upper Arlington, and Westerville) will be looked at for the stop.

BG, are you saying the 8 express lines will be cut, or they will be looked to for on time performance ? No new lines? Columbus could sure use more cross-town routes, like 161 and Polaris Pkwy. Maybe even Hillard.
No express lines will be cut.
However, some stops on some express lines (serving Upper Arlington and Westerville) will be cut to speed up time.
All express buses will be allowed to be up to five minutes early, as well.

Since I'm located in the NSN, the expanded #21 is awesome! No more walking up to the cap from Elevator or anywhere in the Brewery District. Might even make my decision to move to the Brewery District that more attractive.

The first of two meetings was today. This is among what has been confirmed:
- # 21 is going down to the Brewery District (that is confirmed). The last trip leaving the Park of Roses (High & Blenheim) will be at 2AM sharp when that happens on 01/07/11. Also, the # 21 will NOT be running on Dec. 25th or Jan. 1st (both Saturdays, but COTA will be running Sunday service on both Christmas and New Year's Day), but WILL run on Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve (both Fridays).
- More weeknight trips will be added on the # 2.
- Return of midday service on # 96 (Fifth Avenue to Gahanna)
- # 92 is going to Easton on weekdays, but will still serve Port Columbus (on the ground level ONLY, and in both directions), and will be renamed James/Stelzer.
- # 8 will be going to the South side every 30 minutes on Saturdays and on midday.
- # 10 East Broad is going to Taylor Rd./Licking County Line in the morning and afternoon.

80% of Sawmill Road is in Columbus, what would Dublin have anything to do with it ?
Sidewalks are not a prerequisite for COTA service, passengers are. With all the houses, apartments, condos, shopping and businesses it would appear plenty of ridership opportunities exist.

Still no service up Sawmill Rd, incredible.I'd have to imagine Dublin would frown upon that.
Besides... Sawmill would need sidewalks and stuff in order to have adequate bus stops.
