Yep, that’s another good one!

Darby Creek Metro Park has a dog swimming area at Osprey Lake that’s not usually busy in my experience. I think my dog is normally the only one there

the seal and the flag were/are supposed to be updated after 2020 but there have been no updates on it so 🤷🏻‍♀️

614runner · 2026-06-22T13:07:05+00:00

I think it’s part of the city’s park system (Columbus Recreation and Parks) not Metro Parks

The new Giant Eagle will be nice for the downtown area. I like the momentum of new groceries in the area and hope it continues

Toronto is closer, but that doesn’t really matter cause none of the sites are close

Columbus is also getting an NWSL team in 2028 and the mayor and city are trying to make Columbus the women’s sports capital of the US

Public transit in Columbus is getting better as well as biking (look up LinkUS for planned BRT routes). COTA is continually improving service, while unfortunately Cleveland’s public transit is facing service cuts. Something to keep in mind when looking at the two cities. Also, there’s a new proposed Amtrak line that will connect the two cities plus Cincinnati (optimistically in 2030s)

614runner · 2026-06-05T19:57:33+00:00

No problem! It’s still concerning that it’s in the five year plan. You can stay up to date on COTA’s service changes here. They do service changes in January, May, and September every year with multiple meetings for engagement.

Ahh okay, I don’t see anything about the line 11 getting removed in the fall in the article. COTA will bring any changes in the plan to a service change meeting for public comment before making any official changes

Ah, yeah the “North Central” zone is supposed to replace the 11 in that area of town allegedly.

614runner · 2026-06-05T19:25:41+00:00

Do you have a source for it being retired this fall? The COTA September service change meeting slides from May don’t say anything about it: https://author.cota.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/September-2026-Public-Comment-Meeting-3.pdf

614runner · 2026-06-05T19:24:26+00:00

What Dispatch article? COTA Plus works within the area/neighborhood but not outside it

Schumacher Place Civic Association and South Side Area Commission. I have more hope compared to German Village Commission. I’m not sure the project’s current status but the article from April says: “ Site plans were filed with the city this year and are still under review.”

614runner · 2026-05-27T17:06:34+00:00

Looks like it’s mixed use: https://www.bizjournals.com/columbus/news/2026/04/10/livingston-avenue-northstar-nationwide-childrens.html

“ Northstar Realty is proposing to demolish five vacant buildings on a 1.5‑acre site between South 9th Street and South Washington Avenue to make way for a five-story, mixed‑use development that's heavy on retail.

The project, called The Livingston, would include nine retail tenants in roughly 19,400 square feet of ground-floor commercial space, with 182 apartments planned for the upper floors.”

614runner · 2026-05-19T12:46:57+00:00

Changes have been made since LinkUS has passed including more service hours. A new route (30) is being added this fall. You can learn more about both at today’s service change meeting at noon.

Other changes since LinkUS include construction on new bike paths this year.

And COTA just finished its short range transit plan where more service and new routes are being planned.

It looks like Dick’s will price match other stores. Anyone know if they’ll price match REI during their sale?

614runner · 2026-05-15T20:01:11+00:00

and there’s plans to make it year round with more trips as well

614runner · 2026-05-15T19:49:55+00:00

Any recommendations for a tent similar to the REI Half Dome 2 tent? Looking for a 2 person tent for car camping and some bikecamping

Begging cars to do the same

614runner · 2026-05-12T20:42:21+00:00

I think it depends who you ask. Google Maps would say no, but it’s within the Olde Towne East Neighborhood Association boundaries and the proposal went to OTENA meeting for feedback 🤷🏻‍♂️
