The city of Columbus and the Ohio Department of Transportation District 6 (ODOT) collaborated to study possible safety improvements to State Route 161 between Interstate 71 and Cleveland Avenue and adjoining service roads. The study focused on identifying specific crash patterns and generating potential countermeasures to increase safety for pedestrians, bicyclists and motorists. Four intersections in the project limits have been on the Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission’s Top 40 crash list over the last ten years.

This public meeting is to share study results and recommendations with constituents and gather comments and suggestions.

Representatives from the city of Columbus, Ohio Department of Transportation and consultant DLZ Ohio, Inc., will be on-hand to give a presentation and answer questions in an open-house format. Exhibits illustrating conceptual alternatives from the study will be on display.

Questions regarding project information may be directed to City of Columbus design project manager Steven Schmidt, tel. (614) 645-3966.
