In April 2021, ULI Columbus, in partnership with the Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission (MORPC), embarked on a visioning exercise to re-imagine the five river corridors in Central Ohio, identified as the RAPID 5 visioning project. The intent of this effort is re-frame the connectivity of the region based on the natural geography of our waterways, with the goal of connecting all Franklin County residents to the region’s natural resources.
MKSK was selected to develop a vision for the Olentangy River corridor, which is summarized in this booklet. One Central Greenway is a unified vision for the Olentangy and Scioto River corridors and adjacent neighborhoods, striving for a more equitable and livable future where all Central Ohioans have safe, easy access to places that uplift them and improve their well-being.
