We also know that the majority of the Transportation Committee has signed on as co-sponsor...(for a total of 19 co-sponsoring Senators, I think)...so, the bill should make it out of Committee, and have a good shot on the floor. Of course, the House, remains another challenge. No clue on reception from State Law enforcement...will try to find out and report back. Frank,

The PLAN calls for widened shoulder...but, during Phase #3 (after 2018). Uhhhgggg. We are helping the CIty request significant funding to implement the PLAN sooner...stay tuned for news. In the meantime, I'll see/ask our engineers about this specific project later this week. Keith,

As President of the Sharon Heights Community Association I have been working with the northern Clintonville Community and the City of Columbus about repaving/redoing a section of Indianola Ave from Morse Road to Lincoln Ave. I know that the section of road is highly traveled by walkers and cyclist, and I believe is supposed to be included in the city bike plan, but it appears that because the City of Columbus chose to use Federal Stimulus dollars that they do not have to do anything except repave the current street as it is. ANy help or insights into how to better work with the city of Columbus would be much appreciated. Thanks, Keith Beveridge Hi.
