The Ohio Department of Transportation Met with the Olde Towne East Neighborhood Association on August 11, 2010 to present several options for the intersection of Parsons Avenue, Town/Bryden, and Elijah Pierce. Below are the options that were presented at that meeting. Option A was the most popular best it provided the best access to the neighborhoods.

Click Here for a copy of the presentation given at the meeting.

Most Efficient design based on traffic flow
Offers full range of turning options
Safest traffic operation
Easy access to Olde Towne Quarter

 

Option B Advantages:
Narrowest road footprint
Maximum green space
Efficient traffic operation
On-street parking at the south end of Olde Parsons

Option B Trade-offs:
Loose south-bound connectivity on Parsons from Olde Towne Quarter
(southbound traffic through Olde Towne must turn right at Elijah Pierce)

 

 

 

Option C Advantages:
Reduces width of Parsons by one lane to provide more green space on the neighborhood side.

Option C Trade-offs:
Less efficient intersection, longer south-bound queues on Olde Parsons
Requires restriping of lane markings on Town Street Bridge to handle traffic, only one westbound lane.

 

 

Option D Advantages:
Creates larger continuous green space that community could redevelop
Allows for more extensive Elijah Pierce streetscape

Option D Trade-offs:
Takes all of ET Paul block
Does not remove southbound through lane


 

 

Option E Advantages:
Narrower Town/Bryden/Parsons Intersection
Improves pedestrian crossing across Parsons at Town/Bryded
Provides more green space on neighborhood side

Option E Trade-offs:
No left turns from Parsons to Town Street or Bryden Road

 

 

 

Option F Advantages:
Creates consistent edge along west side of Parsons
Maximizes green space on neighborhood side of Parsons, allowing for more potential redevelopment space

Note:

- Diagram also shows removing tree lawn buffer between sidewalk and road on east side of Parsons Avenue, north of Town/Bryden. This could occur on any option.

 

 

 

Option G Advantages:
Creates consistent edge along west side of Elijah Pierce
Adds more on street parking on Elijah Pierce
Allow for Entire block redevelopment

Option G Trade-offs:
Removes all buildings on ET Paul Block (including Tire Warehouse)
Removes garage along alley*
