  • Chapter 2 Affected Environment
    PORT COLUMBUS INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT FAR PART 150 NOISE COMPATIBILITY STUDY FINAL CHAPTER TWO AFFECTED ENVIRONMENT Airports and aircraft operations generally have direct benefits and impacts on surrounding communities as aviation activity is inherently intertwined with its neighbors. This includes both positive and negative impacts. Identifying and evaluating land uses surrounding an airport is an important step in quantifying potential impacts through the Part 150 process. This evaluation identifies the residential and other noise-sensitive land uses around the Port Columbus International Airport (CMH). A discussion of the land use mapping methodology and zoning information is provided in Appendix D, Land Use Methodology. 2.1 AIRPORT LOCATION CMH is located on the eastern edge of the City of Columbus, to the north of the cities of Bexley and Whitehall and west of the City of Gahanna and Jefferson Township. These jurisdictions generally share both the benefits and the potentially negative impacts of airport operations at CMH, and therefore, are the subject of the land use evaluation in this study. 2.1.1 COLUMBUS REGIONAL AIRPORT AUTHORITY CMH is operated by the Columbus Regional Airport Authority (CRAA), which sets the policies under which the airport is operated. The CRAA is an independent governmental entity responsible for the operation of CMH as well as Rickenbacker International Airport (LCK) and Bolton Field Airport (TZR). The creation of the CRAA was a result of a merger between the Columbus Municipal Airport Authority and the Rickenbacker Port Authority (RPA) on January 1, 2003. A Board of Directors is the governing body of the CRAA and is composed of nine business and community leaders.

MN WI MI OH IL IN USDOT Region V Regional University Transportation Center Final Report TECHNICAL SUMMARY NEXTRANS Project No. 170OSUY2.2 Final Report, 12/2/2016 Methods for Improving Bicycle Sharing System Balance Introduction Many cities have developed bicycle sharing systems. This project points out that a key element in their success and sustainability is an understanding of the spatial patterns of supply and demand. This project tackles the re‐balancing issue where bikes must be removed from full stations and replenished at empty ones. Taking inspiration from the lot size problem, and capacitated vehicle routing, the project devises a rolling window approach to this problem, in essence representing the amount of foresight that the system planner can use to determine solutions.
