April Rhodes says the city of Columbus should return to a plan that would accommodate businesses and bike lanes on Indianola Avenue in Clintonville.

, which preserves parking on both sides of Indianola in the business district, even though parking is reduced by 50% along the entire Indianola corridor.

The Option 4 plan agreement included me as a business owner, an area resident and someone who bikes in the area. The plan is a solution that achieves a bike lane and still preserves parking on both sides along the business section of the corridor. Businesses along this area of Indianola already have some struggle with the existing parking, especially on the weekends when all neighboring businesses are open. If people can’t park near me, I am going to lose customers to other — more convenient — shopping options.

Decimate means it would reduce parking by 10 percent… not really a big deal.

Dispatch aren't there other things to talk about other than just publishing what 'indianola ave business owner' has to say again and again

And option 5 is already an unsafe compromise compared to the ideal scenario. Option 4 will cause people to get hurt or worse.

this is just willful misrepresentation of the process the city went through and the overwhelming sentiment of public feedback

its still plagiarism even if you plagiarized yourself

Well now I’m definitely never going to shop at The Little Light Collective. Stfu sis

Stop reposting these same statements from a small handful of morons

How much ink are y'all going to give this?

You know, you’re right. That antiquated movie theatre that’s just a vanity project is basically right in the middle of this otherwise well planned bike lane. Most of their parking is already in the surrounding neighborhood. Nix the theatre and we’ve solved everything.

This is such an abdication of the duty of local media to represent community sentiment. The column plays deceptively loose with definitions of bike lanes, how much parking is being removed, the length of the corridor affected etc. Either run an equal number of guest columns 1/

'In my neighborhood we don't have sidewalks so we walk in the street' and in the same breath wants to deter making the area safe for pedestrians. Absolute malarkey.

'Antiquated business model, movie theater, blames bikes on its eventual demise.'

You're good at getting cheap heat from rewriting the same anti-bike article over and over.

Are you just the Indianola Ave Business Owner Newsletter now?

you've gotta be fucking kidding me

New compromise: for every one of these pieces that goes to print, we should take away three (3) more parking spaces

You’ve got to be kidding me. The plan is set, the vast majority of people support the chosen plan, yet two business owners somehow are being given endless media coverage because they disagree.

'The plan is a solution that achieves a bike lane and still preserves parking on both sides along the business section of the corridor.'
