Southeast Downtown Gateway Opportunity
Main CU Feature: 12 Ideas Laid Out for Downtown 2010 Strategic Plan
This largely under-utilized area of Downtown Columbus will see significant change as a result of the improvements to I-70/I-71. With the rebuilding of Mound and Fulton streets, there is an opportunity for a new gateway into Downtown. Given the proximity to Children’s Hospital, Grant Hospital and Franklin University, these new entrance corridors also provide significant economic development opportunities for the City. A 2006 study by Bay Area Economics estimated that the office redevelopment potential of ground adjacent to these corridors could result in an additional $9 million of annual tax revenues to the City of Columbus. In addition to the changes at Mound and Fulton streets, there is also an opportunity to create a new neighborhood gateway at Grant Avenue. This bridge crossing should be rebuilt to enhance the pedestrian and visual connection between Downtown and German Village.
