Olive Street and Floral Avenue Sidewalks

This project consists of constructing sidewalks along the south side of Olive Street from Powell Avenue to Harris Avenue, the north side of Olive Street from Harris Avenue to Wayne Avenue, and on the south side of Floral Avenue from Oakley Avenue to Highland Avenue. Installation of the sidewalk will include curb ramps and drive approaches.

This sidewalk project intersects a portion of Wayne Avenue, which is on the Vision Zero Columbus High Injury Network due to the number of serious or fatal crashes, and/or crashes involving vulnerable road users like people walking, biking or on a motorcycle. This Vision Zero safety improvement will improve drivers’ visibility of pedestrians and safely separate these vulnerable road users from vehicle traffic.

It is also located in a Vision Zero Communities of Interest area. Residents in Communities of Interest may have fewer choices about how, when and where they travel, putting them at higher risk as they move around. Extra investment in roadway and other transportation safety improvements may be needed to enhance safety.
