Grant-Funded Tactical Urbanism Demonstration Project at 27th and Home Intersection<\/p><\/h1><\/div>

The community survey is now closed.\u00a0 Thank you for your feedback on this important project!<\/strong><\/p>\n

The City of Columbus is the proud recipient of a grant from the Indiana Department of Health for a temporary safety
\ndemonstration project at the intersection of 27th Street and Home Avenue. The project includes colored pavement
\nmarkings, curb extensions, and delineator posts for the purpose of increasing pedestrian safety by slowing down traffic
\nand improving driver awareness.<\/p>\n

The intersection is utilized by more than 4,000 students attending adjacent schools, as well as additional pedestrians and
\nbicyclists accessing nearby neighborhoods, restaurants, and the People Trail system to the north. This grant-funded
\nproject will allow the City to test how well these design elements improve safety and inform permanent design decisions in
\nthe future.<\/p>\n

Once work is completed, community members will have the opportunity to share feedback on the project through a survey
\non the City\u2019s Bike Walk Columbus website and at two open houses on Tuesday August 12, 2025 and Thursday August
\n21, 2025.<\/p>\n

This project is a collaboration between the City of Columbus Engineering, Planning, and Public Works
\nDepartments, with additional support from the Bartholomew Consolidated School Corporation, Columbus Regional Health,
\nand Columbus Police Department.<\/p>\n

Updates on the project, community survey, and community open houses will be shared on the Columbus Indiana
\nEngineering Facebook page.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Columbus ‘C’ Bike Racks<\/h1><\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>
\n

Columbus is internationally known for its architecture and art. Good design is a core value of our community and that belief in good design has extended even to our bicycle racks!\u00a0 Inspired by the city\u2019s iconic \u2018dancing C\u2019 trademark, the Columbus C Bike Racks add vibrant color to public spaces and businesses within the city.\u00a0 The C Bike Racks come in 4 colors (yellow, blue, green, and red) and are available for purchase from the Columbus Park Foundation.\u00a0 The purchase of a bike rack from the Columbus Park Foundation supports the continued maintenance and upkeep of Columbus\u2019 People Trail.\u00a0 For more information about purchasing a C Bike Rack for your business or organization, visit the\u00a0Columbus Park Foundation<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>
