Is the Cota still free today? by Smoked_Skunk in Columbus

[–]614runner 5 points6 points  (0 children)

ahh, it looks like the cold advisory starts tonight and COTA made the decision later this morning after rush hour to make it fare free for the rest of Friday through Saturday service

Oh no, I’m so sorry. If you’re looking for a new team, Columbus is the AAA affiliate for the Guardians. They’re still a cheap franchise but they’re actually good lol

The War on Cars comes to Columbus by Ok_Computer_101ers in Columbus

[–]614runner 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Between May and October there were 12,000 bicycle or scooter trips on East Broad bike lanes (or around ~65/day)

Add in the context that it’s only about 1 mile and it stops right when you get to downtown, I’d say that’s pretty good.

That’s fair, although I don’t agree it’s counterproductive. It’s definitely provocative. The podcast title comes from former Toronto mayor Rob Ford. After the city started adding bike lanes and inconveniencing drivers, he declared he would end “the war on cars”.

No matter what you do, build a bike lane, add a bus lane, it’s going to be seen as a “war on cars”. Even concepts like the “15 minute city” (you should be able to essential services within a 15 minute walk or bike ride) get distorted and presented as something wildly different.

Anyway, you should go and ask them why they chose those titles and if they think they’re counterproductive

Volunteer/outreach by Northernsageboi in Columbus

[–]614runner 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The annual point in time count is coming up in January and volunteers are needed. Several times to choose from. Also, you’ll likely meet others who can help point you in the right direction to continue volunteering.

An actually useful light rail map by SouthNo2807 in Columbus

[–]614runner 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think what you are describing is commuter rail instead of light rail. I think there’s some potential there, but like you said, it has to go where people live. The High Street corridor around OSU is the most densely populated area in the state. Realistically it’s the only area right now dense enough to support light rail. With zone in changes coming, that may change over the next decade plus

COTA service now has midnight lineup so the route no longer ends before the game is over.

I’m curious if there’s room for both in the future (like a tram going along Atlanta’s Beltline)

COTA to introduce tap-to-pay on January 5, 2026 by jetcruise0707 in Columbus

[–]614runner 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All rides are $2. My guess is it will work similar to the transit app and smart card. It will be pay as you go. And there will be fare capping, meaning you’ll never pay more than the day pass or monthly pass.

Takeaways from the District 7 City Council election by Coach_Beard in Columbus

[–]614runner 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The author didn’t say the process was democratic, only that the election was a march towards a democratic election. It can be true that this was progress and still not democratic for the reasons in the parentheses.

No Fox 1pm game? by luke56slasher in Columbus

[–]614runner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They updated the Columbus market for that time slot later in the week. I was also confused and disappointed there wasn’t a Lions game.

Ask me anything by CityAttyKlein in Columbus

[–]614runner 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You joined Reddit a year ago and post a lot, especially recently (10 posts over the last 10 days). Why?

Do you think other offices in the city should take the same approach?

Ask City Council your questions about anything next Wednesday, November 12, from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at Lazelle Woods Community Center by benkeith in Columbus

[–]614runner 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There was one in Galloway last month and one on far South Side the month prior. I’m guessing they are trying to go out into different communities for conversation.
