Our 100th E-Blast!!!!
Takin' It To The Streets! An editorial milestone this week: our 100th weekly "e-blast", or electronic newsletter. This isa good time to recognize that construction on the Columbus Crossroads includes morethan just new I-71 and I-670 traffic lanes. Many neighboring city streets adjacent to theproject zone are getting upgrades, too.
Cleveland Ave. will be getting new pavement, sidewalks, lighting and other aestheticenhancements between Jack Gibbs Blvd. and Edward St. The work has required a partial,daytime shutdown of one lane of traffic in each direction during the past couple of weeks.This work is expected to be finished by mid-August.

Just south of the I-670 bridge over Cleveland Ave. construction is progressing on a newentrance ramp from Cleveland Ave. to I-670 east and I-71 north and south. The ramp is scheduled for completion by mid-August. The traffic improvements are a great upgrade for the Columbus State Community Collegecampus says Will Kopp, CSCC's Vice President of Marketing and Communications."Cleveland Ave. is a front door to Columbus State's Downtown Campus, and it's a part of ahigher-education corridor that stretches from Columbus State to CCAD to FranklinUniversity. We're excited about the changes and improvements designed by ODOT.They'll provide an attractive facelift for the corridor and, even more important,create additional safety improvements for our students and staff who walk acrossCleveland Ave. every day."

And construction is moving along nearby on Jack Gibbs Blvd. and a portion of Leonard Ave.Both roads are being realigned as a part of this project and as a result are being completelyrebuilt in the affected roadway sections. These are just part of the improvements to localstreets, which include new bridges for Long and Spring streets and two new urbanboulevards that will parallel I-71 to carry local traffic.
