    The roughly 7-mile stretch of High Street from Downtown to Morse Road had the most bicycle-vehicle crashes, 105, in central Ohio over a five-year period beginning in 2000, according to the MORPC report.

    The agency’s 2006 Regional Bicycle Transportation Facilities Plan identifies 10 areas with the most crashes and crashes per mile. Between 2000 and 2004, there were more than 1,500 bike-vehicle crashes in Franklin and Delaware counties.

    A national firm is developing a bikeways plan — a draft is expected next month and the final plan next year — for the city of Columbus that will include recommendations on making the area more bike-friendly.
