Westbourne Avenue Phase 1 Extension - Taylor Station Road to Blossom Field Boulevard

This project will involve resurfacing, the addition of a southbound right turn lane and the extension of Westbourne Ave between Taylor Station Road and Blossom Field Blvd. Improvements along the extension will include new pavement, curb and gutter, drives, storm sewer system, signs and waterline. New sidewalk, shared-use path and roadway lighting will also be installed. These Vision Zero safety improvements will improve drivers’ visibility of pedestrians and bicyclists and physically separate these vulnerable road users from vehicle traffic. A roundabout will be placed at the intersection of Corrina Drive to reduce drivers’ speed and the severity of crashes at this intersection.

This location 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.

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.
