Interesting. I seem to remember there was a plan floating around showing a big box store in this location. I could see a more affordable transit oriented type development here - with it's close proximity to Grandview and downtown. The property is about the size of the Arena District...

My prediction is a Lowes/Home Depot and perhaps a Walmart.

Glad to see that development in Columbus is worthy of a piece of paper and some crayons.

That's a horrible plan. It'll never work. It will destroy the vitality and urban feel of the neighborhood and by extension most of the downtown area. It sucks. Don't know why, it just does.(but I'll likely shop there anyway)
So, imagine a city where this type of development is every block. Would there even be a city anymore? It would just be tract housing, cinderblock retail, and parking....EVERYWHERE. I don't think that's the way to grow an attractive city for businesses and people. But that's my opinion.

I'm sure this will be a profitable development. What more could we want?

I predict more banks, another nail salon, several fast food stores, a Looser Goose and several offices. I really doubt a Walmart will end up there. Wagco is doing this for the cleanup $. I believe the land needs to be developed soon after that is finished, and I believe they will stick just about anything there.

How can you say that? If I don't feel a passionate urban vibe from a place as I drive past it it's just not a successful development.

I will say that this type of development is more appropriate here rather than 3rd due to traffic patterns, access, volume, but I don't want to open that wound up again. I'll check back around page 15. I'm staying out of this one for now. I think everyone knows my big box stance. Keep it civil guys.

While it would be great to see this turned into a mixed-use development, I think this is off the beaten trail, so to speak.
Either way, I wish Columbus and the surrounding suburbs would develop a comprehensive master plan for the region. If anything, there's a lack of understanding where and how we want to develop the region - so we can prevent traffic issues, water management, public space, etc. throughout the region.

That's an awesome way to look at a city. I'm sure we all dream of living somewhere where the only concern regarding development is how much money can be squeezed from it. I guess we can probably get rid of parks then, and public art... oh and roads.

Dublin Rd is a pedestrian/biking nightmare...The bike path from Downtown that runs parallel to Dublin Road/33 is great... until it dead ends before you even get to Grandview Ave. :P
But yeah, the lack of sidewalks through here prevents any type of individual development from ever being walkable. Most of 33 is designed as "highway lite" as is.
Personally, I'm thinking it would make a great place to implement BRT or shared traffic Light Rail to connect Downtown Columbus with Historic Dublin with stops along the way at job centers, intersections with cross-town bus routes, park and rides, and parks and recreational areas.
