MORPC Morse/Bethel Connector Final Report

The Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission, in association with Burgess & Niple, Limited, has released the Final Report for the Morse/Bethel Connector Study which was undertaken from July 30 through October 22, 1998.

The purpose of this study was to present "unbiased data about a Morse/Bethel connector to assist the citizens of Columbus in making an informed decision in November." An initiative placed on the November, 1998 ballot a proposal that called for the city to build a bridge over the Olentangy River and connect Morse and Bethel Roads through Rathbone Avenue.

Chapter topics include:
Public Involvement Process; Alternatives; Overview of Evaluation Process; Land Use and Economics; Environmental Analysis; Traffic; Neighborhood/Social; Cost of Construction/Right-of-Way Acquisition/Relocation; Public Policy; Summary of Alternatives; MORPC Recommendation; and
Next Steps.

For those of us who went through the process of the study, the report is familiar. For those who did not have the opportunity but who are interested in the issue and its debate, this document is interesting and eye opening.

For more information about the Final Report, contact MORPC at 228-2663.
