You know what this neighborhood needs? Surface parking lots. A TON of surface parking lots. And a big highway cutting right through it. Now *this* is progress. 1955 vs 2022

Installation of Protected Bike Lanes on East Broad Street Begins columbusunderground.com/installation-o… via @ColsUnderground

@the_transit_guy Slightly different view of the same building in 1947. Building was constructed circa 1897, not sure when it was demolished.

@the_transit_guy Same view of that street corner in 1947. This is what was replaced by a surface parking lot for decades.

@UDHCMH Still trying to pin down the exact orientation of this pic of High and Frames based off of this 1910 map
Houses in background on Lane Ave?
English
@UDHCMH Lots of good pics of old Columbus streetscapes in that album!
English
Very excited by this find. An August 1912 RPPC view of the University District’s Oakland Ave from Aunt Gusta (the boys are standing in front of her house) to her niece Enid in Caldwell OH. Gusta is proud that Oakland Ave just won the prize for most beautiful flowers in the city.

@brentincolumbus @UDHCMH I would guess it’s looking east towards Indianola Ave from east of Adams Ave based on this other photo from 1912
English
@UDHCMH is it possible this is west oakland - looking down the hill toward the river? most of the houses in the 100 block of east oakland are brick, so doesn't quite seem to match

@the_transit_guy BRT is on the ballot in Columbus this November! Three lines are already planned, also includes funding for a 45% increase in bus service hours and 500 miles of new sidewalks and bike paths by 2050.

@DE_Gifford The riverfront improved a lot when the Scioto Mile was constructed in the 2010s
Cycle Cbus@CycleCbus
I still find it so hard to believe that this was considered the best use of the downtown riverfront for almost a century. The Scioto Mile project is one of the best things the city has done in recent years (First pic from ODOT 1970s)
English
@DE_Gifford The completion of the new flood wall in 2004 enabled a lot new investment into Franklinton. That area wasn’t always parking lots of course. 1910 map and 1981 aerial.

Part of the Olentangy trail through Whetstone Park is closed in both directions as of a few minutes ago. Looks like a fallen tree, so hopefully will reopen soon.
No posted detour so I took this route to the bridge. Recommend taking the sidewalk on Henderson if riding through.
English
@DE_Gifford The Hocking Hills are beautiful. Let me know if you want a private tour of downtown. Make sure to check out the Scioto Mile and COSI while you’re here.
English
@CycleCbus Nice. Headed to Columbus/Hocking Hills over Labor Day. Planning to check it out.

Put down some sod and call it a park already @BedrockDetroit @DowntownDet look at Columbus Commons for inspiration. columbuscommons.org/about/about-us/

Gilbert’s new Cadillac Square development may be pushed back crainsdetroit.com/real-estate-in…

@DE_Gifford The site that is now the Columbus Commons has changed dramatically over the last 50 years.
From typical urban block in the 70s, ice skating rink in the 80s, urban mall in the 90s and 00s, to the Commons we know today in the 2010s. These are all of the same corner at High & Town.

Join me tomorrow for a guided bicycle tour with @ColsLandmarks! We’ll explore the history of the River & Rich District, early and modern history of Franklinton, the development of the Scioto Mile, and more!

@reroutethe23 Between this, the Olentangy trail opening again by OSU, and Pelotonia, it’s a good week for cycling in Columbus.
English
It is very strange not to see the Drake Union along the path anymore. Hopefully the trees they are planting there will grow quickly and provide some much needed shade.
English
The Olentangy Trail along OSU is finally open again! No more detour around the stadium!
