Mount Vernon Avenue runs through the heart of the King-Lincoln-Bronzeville neighborhood. It is home to small stores and pharmacies, houses and a barber shop.
It s also been home to speeders and the scene of many crashes, making it dangerous at times not only for motorists, but also for pedestrians and bicyclists as the neighborhood near Downtown continues to become more popular with developers and new residents.
So the city of Columbus is embarking on a plan to make the Mount Vernon Avenue corridor safer. Over the past couple of years, we ve been concerned about crashes at some intersections and speeding in the corridor, said Reynaldo Stargell, administrator of the city s traffic management division.

Boston to Pilot Free Transit Passes for Workers in Commercial Districts
The city of Boston will undertake an experiment about how to center public transit as an economic recovery tool.
Monday was the first day for students in cohort A, which attends Mondays and Tuesdays in person. Cohort B begins Thursday, with in-person classes on Thursdays and Fridays. I m glad to be back here with my friends, Jimenez said. Well, half of them.
Brian Hill, an environmental science teacher, seemed equally excited to be back in the classroom Monday morning. It ll be great to finally see the kids in-person, Hill said. It s just been names on screens for a long time.
Getting students to school an issue
Ensuring the district had enough bus drivers and routes to transport all its students was a big hurdle to making Monday happen, Columbus City Schools Superintendent Talisa Dixon said.
The city of Columbus has received an overwhelming number of comments asking for a more aggressive reduction in carbon air emissions than proposed in its draft climate action plan.
A draft of the city s 49-page plan calls for the city to make a 25% reduction in carbon emissions by 2030, using 2018 as a baseline.
Critics of the city s plan say the reduction doesn t go far enough, citing the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report, which calls for a 45% reduction in carbon emissions worldwide by 2030 in order to stop the planet from warming at higher rates. Carbon emissions are mainly from burning fossil fuels in vehicles and factories, but also can be exacerbated by increasing development and sweeping deforestation.
