The excitement for the Bridge Street District continues as we build upon the vision first set forth by Dublin City Council in 2010. As we work toward planning Dublin’s future, you may be wondering what the fiscal impact of the project will be, what the buildings will look like and where people will park.
As part of our efforts to engage residents in the project, we have answered those questions and many more on our website, www.dublinohiousa.gov (click on the “Bridge Street District” tab at the top of the page). Perhaps you have other questions, which we welcome you to submit on the site. We also have been sharing these questions and responses through social media, and invite you to connect with us via the website.
In addition, we recently invited all Dublin civic and homeowners’ associations to attend the biannual leadership meeting to hear updates on the Bridge Street District plans and activities and encouraged them to share the information with their neighbors. City Planner Rachel Ray is overseeing an outreach effort to have representatives attend individual association meetings upon request to answer questions and provide additional updates. For more information, please contact Rachel at rray@dublin.oh.us or 614-410-4656.
As another means of engagement, the City is producing a series of informational videos to clarify some of the most-frequently asked questions, which center around the river park; vehicular traffic; pedestrian and bicycle circulation; the planned roundabout at State Route 161 and Riverside Drive; and the overall vision for the Bridge Street District.
One of the videos, “Why Bridge Street?” focuses on the economic development rationale supporting the vision. The video features national and regional development experts, along with Dublin corporate leaders, all of whom emphasize the importance of the Bridge Street District initiative in helping the City attract and retain a talented workforce.
We hope these efforts will continue to keep you informed on the great progress being made as we look toward the future of Dublin and how it will best serve you and your family as well as future generations.
