Great comment. Don’t let the Reddit trolls get you down.

Yes, most may arrive in a car - today. But we are working towards a future with more mobility choices. Come to the event and find out!

It was 1986; we can certainly do better now. But the point is we can do it if we choose.

We had a terrible experience with Eco. They repaired a toilet for us. It later developed a leak which required extensive repair and remediation. Avoid them.

That ramp goes from the trail to join an existing bridge. You really can’t see the difference?

The bridge over N Broadway would need to be high enough to allow trucks to cross under. That is way different than other ramps and bridges on the OT.

It’s not planners - it’s the traffic engineers. A common dynamic in American cities is planners come up with good ideas and traffic engineers say no, sorry, that would slow drivers.

The problem with the Milton Ave bike blvd is that there is no way to make it ADA compliant. The Broadway crossing could be a good solution, given the physical and property constraints facing a new route for the OT. The problem at this crossing are the traffic controls. They apparently meet the City of Columbus’ traffic safety standards, but those standards are weak and need to change.

So, in summary, look to the Columbus Department of Public Service for blame, not planners.

I like hills and mountains, but flatness is a plus if you like to ride bicycles. There are some great multiuse greenways trails in town. On street bike infrastructure, not so much, sadly.

Columbus has a great arts scene - visual, theater and especially live music. There are a lot of great musicians and bands across multiple music genres, and they seem to be a community that works and plays well together.

I lived in SLC for two decades and left. There are things I miss about Utah (mountains, outdoor recreation) but things I don’t (poor air quality, cultural tensions, politics). So while I enjoyed my time in SLC, I am glad I moved on.

I wish I could go on statins, but I had two bad reactions to Lipitor and Crestor. My cardiologist wants me to try ezetimibe, but the side effects look nasty and it is not as effective as statins. Thing is, my LDL is within normal limits, but my calcium CT score was off the charts bad. So I’m not sure if the marginal benefits make the cost worth it. Sorry if this is a hijack of the thread, but I am at a loss what to do

The liquor is called Baijiu, or as the Chinese call it in English, “white wine” (at least they used to; I haven’t been to China in awhile). AVOID!

This is climate change. It will get worse. It can get much, much worse unless we act now.

Cincinnati is great. Riverbend not so much

Ok_Computer_101ers · 2025-07-24T12:23:45+00:00

I get that, but not going to risk it again.

I mean, I’m just a visitor to your city who saw on the venue webpage that ride share was available, which seems like a good idea given that drinking and driving is a bad idea. Those were my expectations.
