I've lost track. It's on. It's off. This premit. That permit.

Story Here

Why is it always a fight? It should be a fight to do it Right, more than just do it or not do it.

For example look at Gahanna around North Hamilton road. It has service roads to lights for easy and safe access to Hamilton. You have good entrance to nice housing around Meijer’s and other subdivisions that do not allow for cut through traffic.

This could be done right with proper planning. The problem is the rules and laws that need to be in place for proper lighting for parking lot and noise ordinances from loud air cooling system that they use on these big stores. Planning how the roads and service roads will be placed and their outlet to main traffic. It seems that each owner is doing their own thing and the powers that be are letting them hodgepodge it all together.

The Reynoldsburg’s Wal-mart is not that far away so I don't think Karen Howard is packing a lunch on her long trips to the store. It's also buffered by a farm from Cameron Chase and there is a street separating Cumberland Trails so it not in a backyard. Enough of the exaggerated claims, but you can't disagree that if the main entrance is across from Cumberland trails, that people will try to cut through the development to pass the light on Main and 310.

Right now is the time to come together to put all the development plans together and come up with a plan where everyone is a winner. Right now 310 is beginning to look like the snake that ate three mice. It’s wide then narrow then wide then narrows. You have a light at main. You'll have a light at Wal-mart. You have a light a going in around that Hazelton (sp?) plaza. They are probable going to have to change the speed limit. You need to look at the impact on Refugee as well.

Was a study paid for? When is that going to be done and made available?
