COSI shares the west and south of COSI are currently undeveloped. The Scioto Peninsula is linked to downtown by the Broad Street and Main Street bridges. In 2012, a third bridge is expected to be completed that will join Town Street on the west side of the river with Rich Street on the east side. These roads, along with the Olentangy bikeway, provide vehicle and pedestrian access to the Scioto Peninsula. The Scioto mile opened in 2011 along the east bank of the Scioto River. It features a restaurant, fountains, and a pedestrian promenade with places to sit and is a vibrant space for people to gather outdoors. The Rich Street bridge will connect this area to the south end of COSI’s property providing easy access from the Scioto mile to COSI and Genoa Park. Genoa Park serves as a site for To the west of COSI is the neighborhood of Franklinton. process for east Franklinton that includes an arts district.

  • Green Community Plan Acknowledges the Need for Additional Work
    Dear Friends: It was 2005 when I first launched the Get Green Columbus initiative to ensure our city’s active contribution to the resolution of global environmental issues. At the time, “Get Green Columbus” was an appropriate name for the initiative as we were at the beginning stages of our work. After 10 years of constant, dedicated effort, Get Green Columbus no longer appropriately characterizes where we stand today. We have gotten green. We removed low head dams, thus restoring our rivers, including the Olentangy River winding through the OSU campus. We added greenspace downtown, making the improved greenway a primary attraction. We launched the city’s first comprehensive recycling program, which has been widely embraced by our residents. We launched a bikeshare program, CoGo, and the CBUS is circulating throughout downtown. We are piloting Blueprint Columbus, a new approach to eliminating sewer overflows while creating local jobs and strengthening our neighborhoods. This is just a small sample of our successes to date. Sustainability can be visualized along an unending spectrum. Although we have “gotten green,” there will always be more work to do, and I pledge my ongoing commitment to this endeavor. In the following pages you will see the projects, policy changes, and partnerships that make up the next five-year plan for sustainability in Columbus. The problems facing us are severe, and our work to mitigate the effects of climate change must remain an urgent priority. The City of Columbus cannot do this work alone; it will take the entire community. This is why we engaged the community in the creation of this plan.
