Active Transportation Plan Open House

Tuesday, June 25, 5 p.m.-7 p.m.

Gahanna City Hall (200 S. Hamilton Road)

Help shape the future of Gahanna, ONE WEEK FROM TODAY!

Thanks to a grant from ODOT, engineering consultants are currently working with the City on the development of an Active Transportation Plan (ATP) that will guide future improvements to expand connectivity, increase safety, ensure equity, promote utilization, improve livability, and preserve our community. The ATP will focus on safe travel paths for those who walk, bike, or use strollers, wheelchairs, mobility devices, scooters, skateboards or rollerblades.

Earlier this year, a community survey was conducted where residents helped to identify opportunities for pedestrian and bicycle improvements around the City. Over the last several months, information gathered from that survey has been compiled into potential projects that would improve the City’s Active Transportation Network.

We invite you to join us for an ATP Open House on Tuesday, June 25, from 5-7 p.m., at Gahanna City Hall (200 S. Hamilton Road). This is an opportunity for you to learn how information gathered in the survey was used to formulate the next phase in this process, to provide feedback on identified projects, and to identify other recommended projects that are of high priority to you.

Let’s continue to work together to build a healthier, happier and more connected Gahanna!
