NE Neighborhood Parking Restrictions

Late last year, the City became aware of parking pressure being experienced regularly by certain streets in our northeast neighborhood, appearing to result from vehicles belonging to patrons of businesses in Columbus along W Third Avenue parking on certain streets.

As a first step towards better understanding and evaluating on-street parking availability and usage patterns in this neighborhood, the City engaged MORPC to conduct parking counts across a two-week period, several times per day. The count and related report, covering the streets depicted below (generally bounded by Northwest Boulevard, Edgehill Road, and the City’s northern boundary south of W Third Avenue), was completed earlier this year.

The parking count data indicated moderate parking pressure during some hours on some streets, which may be alleviated by changes to parking restrictions. Additionally, continued densification of both commercial and residential properties in the City of Columbus on W Third Avenue can be anticipated, which may heighten this pressure.

Responding to both considerations, we have been developing preliminary recommendations for revised parking restrictions within our northeast neighborhood. We will share these recommendations with impacted owners and residents on Wednesday, May 22, 2024, at 5:00 p.m., at the Parks & Recreation Department located at 1515 Goodale Blvd.

Please register to keep up to date on this and other projects, and plan to offer your comments through the portal on this page during the two weeks following the meeting.

Final recommendations will be developed and submitted to City Council for review for adoption during the coming months, with implementation activities anticipated to begin in late 2024 and to be fully implemented in early 2025.
