Transportation

[edit]
Columbus has numerous pedestrian skywalks linking together downtown buildings

Grid and address system

[edit]

The metro area's street plan originates downtown and extends into the old-growth neighborhoods, following agrid pattern with the intersection ofHigh Street (running north–south) and Broad Street (running east–west) at its center. North–south streets run 12 degrees west of due north, parallel to High Street; the avenues (vis. Fifth Avenue, Sixth Avenue, Seventh Avenue, and so on.) run east–west.[15] The address system begins its numbering at the intersection of Broad and High, with numbers increasing in magnitude with distance from Broad or High. Numbered Avenues begin with First Avenue, about 0.25 mi (0.40 km) north of Broad Street, and increase in number as one progresses northward. Numbered streets begin with Second Street, which is two blocks west of High Street, and Third Street, which is a block east of High Street, then progress eastward from there. Even-numbered addresses are on the north and east sides of streets, putting odd addresses on the south and west sides of streets. A difference of 700 house numbers means a distance of about 1 mi (1.6 km) (along the same street).[16] For example, 351 W 5th Avenue is approximately 0.5 mi (800 m) west of High Street on the south side of Fifth Avenue. Buildings along north–south streets are numbered in a similar manner: the building number indicates the approximate distance from Broad Street, the prefixes 'N' and 'S' indicate whether that distance is to measured to the north or south of Broad Street, and the street number itself indicates how far the street is from the center of the city at the intersection of Broad and High.

This street numbering system does not hold true over a large area. The area served by numbered avenues runs from about Marble Cliff to South Linden to the Airport, and the area served by numbered Streets covers Downtown and nearby neighborhoods to the east and south, with only a few exceptions. There are quite few intersections between numbered Streets and Avenues. Furthermore, named streets and avenues can have any orientation. For example, while all of the numbered avenues run east–west, perpendicular to High Street, many named, non-numbered avenues run north–south, parallel to High. The same is true of many named streets: while the numbered streets in the city run north–south, perpendicular to Broad Street, many named, non-numbered streets run east–west, perpendicular to High Street.

Highways

[edit]

Columbus is bisected by two majorInterstate Highways,Interstate 70 running east–west, andInterstate 71 running north to roughly southwest. The two Interstates combine downtown for about 1.5 mi (2.4 km) in an area locally known as "The Split", which is a majortraffic congestion point within Columbus, especially duringrush hour.U.S. Route 40, originally known as theNational Road, runs east–west through Columbus, comprising Main Street to the east of downtown and Broad Street to the west.U.S. Route 23 runs roughly north–south, whileU.S. Route 33 runs northwest-to-southeast. TheInterstate 270Outerbelt encircles the vast majority of the city, while the newly redesigned Innerbelt consists of theInterstate 670 spur on the north side (which continues to the east past the airport and to the west where it merges with I-70),State Route 315 on the west side, the I-70/71 split on the south side, and I-71 on the east. Due to its central location within Ohio and abundance of outbound roadways, nearly all of the state's destinations are within a 2- or 3-hour drive of Columbus.

Bridges

[edit]
Lane Avenue Bridge, University District

The Columbus riverfront hosts a few notable bridges which have been built since 2000. The 700 ft (210 m)Main Street Bridge opened on July 30, 2010, and is the first bridge of its kind in North America.[17] The bridge is located directly south of COSI on the Scioto river, featuring three lanes of traffic (one westbound and two eastbound) and another separated lane for pedestrians and bikes. TheRich Street Bridge opened in July 2012 and is adjacent to the Main Street Bridge connecting Rich Street on the east side of the river with Town Street on the west.[18][19] TheLane Avenue Bridge is acable-stayed bridge that opened on November 14, 2003, in the University District and spans the Olentangy river with three lanes of traffic each way.

Airports

[edit]
John Glenn Columbus International Airport departure level

The metro area's primary airport,John Glenn Columbus International Airport, is located on the east side of the city of Columbus, with several smaller airports in the region as well. John Glenn Columbus International provides service toToronto,Canada andCancun, Mexico (on a seasonal basis), as well as to most domestic destinations, including all the major hubs.Northern California is serviced by flights to and fromSan Francisco andOakland, andSouthern California flights go to and fromLos Angeles International Airport.

John Glenn Columbus International Airport continues to be a home toNetJets, the world's largestfractional ownership air carrier. According to a 2005 market survey, Port Columbus International Airport attracts about 50% of its passengers from outside its 60-mile (97 km) radius primary service region.[20] Port Columbus is currently the 50th-busiest airport in the United States by total passenger boardings.

The second major airport in the metro area isRickenbacker International Airport, located in southern Franklin County. It is a major cargo facility and is utilized by the OhioAir National Guard.Allegiant Air offers nonstop service from Rickenbacker to variousFlorida destinations and seasonally to other cities such as Jacksonville, Myrtle Beach, New Orleans, and Savannah GA.

Ohio State University Don Scott Airport andBolton Field are significant general-aviation facilities in the Columbus area.

Mass transit

[edit]

Columbus maintains a widespread municipal bus service called theCentral Ohio Transit Authority (COTA). Intercity bus service is provided from theColumbus Bus Station and other locations byGreyhound,Barons Bus Lines, Miller Transportation,GoBus, and other carriers.[21]

Currently, Columbus does not have any type of passenger rail service.Columbus used to have a major train station downtown calledUnion Station, most notably as a stop alongAmtrak'sNational Limited train service until 1977. The station itself was razed in 1979,[22] and theGreater Columbus Convention Center now stands in its place. The station was also a stop along theCleveland, Columbus and Cincinnati Railroad and thePittsburgh, Cincinnati, Chicago and St. Louis Railroad. Columbus is now thelargest metropolitan area in the U.S. without either a local rail or intercity rail connection (Phoenix opened alight-rail system in 2008, but still lacks anAmtrak connection),[23][24] however studies are underway towards reintroducing passenger rail service to Columbus via theOhio Hub project. Plans are in the works to open a high-speed rail service connecting Columbus with Cincinnati and to the proposed hub in Cleveland which offers rail service to the East Coast, including New York and Washington, DC.[25]

Bicycle

[edit]

Cycling as transportation is steadily increasing in Columbus with its relatively flat terrain, intact urban neighborhoods, large student population, and off-road bike paths. The city has put forth the2012 Bicentennial Bikeways Plan as well as a move toward a Complete Streets policy.[26] Grassroots efforts such as Bike To Work Week, Consider Biking, Yay Bikes,[27] Third Hand Bicycle Co-op, Franklinton Cycleworks, andCranksters, a local radio program focused on urban cycling,[28] have contributed to cycling as transportation.

Columbus also hostsurban cycling "off-shots" with messenger-style "alleycat" races as well as unorganized group rides, a monthlyCritical Mass ride,[29]bicycle polo, art showings, movie nights, and a variety ofbicycle-friendly businesses and events throughout the year. All this activity occurs despite Columbus's frequently inclement weather.

The newMain Street Bridge features a dedicated bike and pedestrian lane separated from traffic, as does the Rich Street Bridge.

The city has its ownpublic bicycle system.CoGo Bike Share has a network of about 600 bicycles and 80 docking stations.PBSC Urban Solutions, a company based inCanada, supplies technology and equipment.[30][31]

Education

The city also has a number of theatres downtown, including the historicPalace Theatre, theOhio Theatre, the Southern Theatre, and the Riffe Center which houses The Capitol Theatre as well as two studio theatres.
