It's a proud day for Sharon Heights a Columbus neighborhood. COTA is NOT going to disrupt the Sharon Heights neighborhood with a bus turnaround where a strip mall stands near the corner of High and Kanawha.
Sharon Heights neighborhood map and surrounding area.
The Columbus Dispatch article about the outcome Outcry in Clintonville Sinks COTA Turnaround Plan is written by Collin Binkley. It says:
"Facing pressure from Clintonville residents, the board of the Central Ohio Transit Authority unanimously turned down a proposal last night to transform a fully occupied N. High Street strip mall into a turnaround for buses."
Reading articles in This Week Clintonville, published just this week, the residents of this Clintonville area community banded together and voiced their displeasure at the proposed change. The residents of Sharon Heights stood up for the businesses that would have been disrupted in the strip mall in their community.
The residents of Sharon Heights or Clintonville were not aware of COTA plans until quite recently. The Columbus Dispatch article says COTA has been working on this site for the turnaround for two years. The buses will continue to turnaround at Graceland Shopping Center for now. Casto could give COTA a 30 day notice that they can NOT use Graceland... it says so in the Columbus Dispatch.
Sharon Heights is a Clintonville community
I don't think I could have told you where Sharon Heights was until June 2010... I drive through the Sharon Heights neighborhood or by it on High St. all the times. My favorite spot for gyros is in Sharon Heights... I used to get my haircut in Sharon Heights. The cute little Lustron house on Kanawha is in Sharon Heights. In June my seller at 301 Girard Rd. Columbus OH 43214 said
"Zillow says our house is in Sharon Heights..."
Yes Zillow and Trulia say the Delawanda Park neighborhood is in Sharon Heights but an old Sharon Heights website says the Graceland Shopping Center is the southern point of Sharon Heights. Delawanda Park is south of Graceland and north of Old Beechwold.
An old Sharon Heights Community Association website (schedule with 2002 meetings... old*) defines Sharon Heights boundaries:
"
"
Last night Channel 10 News said "Sharon Heights" and I knew exactily where they were talking about.
So whether they are Sharon Heights residents or Clintonville residents or really both everything turned out allright...because they turned out to tell COTA, "NO!"
Sharon Heights a Clintonville Community
Clintonville area... Zillow refers to it as Sharon Heights
Creeping Clintonville Border - blame Columbus real estate agents Wikipedia does...
Columbus made Lustron homes pictured home is in Sharon Heights... not for sale
*Unfortunatley the old Sharon Heights Community Association site has bad pop ups... it has a future meeting schedule which has 2002 meetings on it. That is why there is no link to it here. You can find it using Google. If you find something currrent let me know...
