Re: Ordinance 78-18 — An Ordinance to Amend the Thoroughfare Plan Map in
the Community Plan to Address Street Connections Based on Recent
Developments within the Bridge Street District and analysis of the District
Transportation Plan (Case 18-051ADM).
Summary
This is a proposed amendment to the Thoroughfare Plan Map in the Community Plan to reflect
recent development patterns and envisioned road connections within the Bridge Street District.
The proposed amendment is the result of discussion at the February 26, 2018 City Council
meeting, memo included for reference, in addition to several development proposals and other
policy decisions that have been made over the past year which impact documents specific to
the Bridge Street District.
Background
The Thoroughfare Pian Map is a component of the Dublin Community Plan focusing on the
forecasted demand on the roadway network throughout the City, The plan is comprised of two
elements; the first, is the map of existing and planned roads by functional classification which
includes graphic representation of right-of-way widths and design elements such as medians.
The second, is a table describing each roadway identified in the plan and the planned
improvements including road segment, number of lanes, and existing and planned right-of-way
widths. The Thoroughfare Plan guides development connections to ensure appropriate
distribution of traffic demand on the roadway network along with pivotal connections
throughout the region. The most recent amendment to the Thoroughfare Plan Map was in 2013
with the conversion of the Dublin Community Plan to the current website format.
Proposal
The proposed amendment includes two major changes to the Thoroughfare Plan Map, specific
to the Bridge Street District, The first, is the reconfiguration of Riverside Drive, John Shields
Parkway, Dale Drive, Rock Cress Parkway, and Bridge Park Avenue to reflect as -built conditions
of the roadway network. The second, is the removal of a section of a Planned District
Connector, Rock Cress Parkway, extending from the future extension of Shawan Falls Drive on
the west side of Indian Run, to the existing terminus adjacent to the City Garage in the Historic
District, The Thoroughfare Plan Map will identify the existing portion of Rock Cress Parkway
until future extensions are identified and analyzed.

Re: Rock Cress Parkway — North Franklin Street Intersection
Background
At its January 22, 2018 meeting, City Council authorized the award of a GMP construction contract
with Turner Construction for the roadways and parking garage being developed by the City in
conjunction with the new Dublin Branch Library. As part of that discussion, a question was asked
about the configuration of the North Franklin Street — Rock Cress Parkway intersection. The purpose
of this memorandum is to provide clarification regarding the design of that intersection.
Recommendation
The alignment of Rock Cress Parkway and North Franklin Street, as designed within the construction
drawings, is fully consistent with the projects' previously approved Development Plans and Final Plat
approved by City Council, As designed, Rock Cress Parkway could be extended westward from the new
intersection in a variety of different alignments, if the Dublin City School District property were to
redevelop in the future.
Regarding the City's official Thoroughfare Pian recommendations for this roadway, City Manager Dana
McDaniel forwarded an email with a comprehensive background report on this issue to City Council on
April 21 of 2017 (attached). This report was an outgrowth of questions raised by Dublin residents to
Council on the Thoroughfare Plan's inclusion of a future roadway crossing over the scenic Shawan Falls
area of the South Fork of the Indian Run. The conceptual alignment in question reflects the future
westward extension of Rock Cress Parkway, connecting with a realigned eastward extension of Post
Road.
In the April transmittal to City Council, it was noted that the conditions that supported this conceptual
alignment had changed since the adoption of the plan (see attached report). The Administration
subsequently proceeded with a traffic study to understand the impacts on Bridge Street -SR 101 that
might result from the removal of this alignment. This study is currently in the traffic analysis phase.
Once completed, a first draft of the report and conclusions is expected in early March, which will be
reviewed by staff with a final document delivered in April. At that time staff will provide specific
recommendations for amending the Thoroughfare Plan.
In any case, it is important to emphasize the contents of the concluding paragraph within the April
2017 report, as follows;
Memo re, Rods Gess Parkway- North Franklin St. Intersection
February 22, 2018
Page 2 of 3
Finally, we would also like to emphasize bat even though the need for the South Fork Indian
Run stream vehicular crossing needs to be reconsidered, itis likely that a pedestrian bicycle
structure over this steam (over the existing aerial sewer line) will be appropriate at some
poietin the future, Additionally, the removal of this stream crossing wlll nataffecttheneed

nor does it reduce the need for and benefits of the proposed Rock Cress parkway from High
Street on the east, extending west into the potential future development of the DO
property (if it were to ever occur), Fora vadi of planning, circulation, safety and trah9c
management reasons, Rock Cress Parkway remains a very important component of the
overall roadway system in this portion of be Gly,
Renderings
It was noted at Council's January 22, 2018 discussion that the project renderings of the finished
condition had Incorrectly depicted Rock Cress Parkway extending westward, well beyond its
intersection with North Franklin Street, Although those renderings were incorrect, the construction
drawings did reflect the anticipation of a future westerly extension of Rock Cress as follows (note
the perpendicular intersection type for Rock Cress Parkway and N, Franklin Street);
Memo re. Rock Gess Parkway— Norah Frandin St. Intersection
February 22, 2018
Page 3 of 3
Since the extension is not likely to occur for a number of years, if at all, the Administration has
reviewed the design and agrees that modest adjustments should be made to the design to further
reinforce the pedestrian character of this intersection, for the foreseeable future. The image below
reflects the amended desigm

Subject: Indian Run crossing
Members of Council:
As you are aware, there has been quite a bit of public discussion recently about the City's 2013
Community Plan depicting a vehicular bridge crossing Shawan Falls area of the South Fork Indian Run. In
order to provide a clearer understanding of the history and context for this decision (for both Council
and the public) I asked staff to provide a brief summary of the background on this issue (acknowledging
also that some of you were not on Council when the Community Plan was updated in 2013). This
summary also includes the rationale, and a recommended approach for the City to appropriately
reconsider this specific recommendation within the 2013 Plan.
Hopefully, some of the incorporated graphics from the relevant plans and studies will help address the
requests made by several Council members earlier this week to see some of the related maps, as this
issue has a very important visual context.
Please let me know if you have any additional questions.
Regards,
Dana
Shawan Falls area Bridge Crossing: the Dublin Thoroughfare Plan
Background: The Bridge Street District Vision (2010)
On October 25, 2010 Dublin City Council approved the Bridge Street District Vision Plan, a document
which while not putting forth detailed thoroughfare or land use plans for the District, it did provide the
broad District Vision Principles and illustrative development patterns contemplated within such a
planningand development paradigm. Principle Number 3 ofthefive Vision Principles:
7 Embrace Dublin's natural setting and celebrate a
commitment to environmental sustainability. Celebrate the
Scioto River, North/South Indian Run, and natural features as symbols of
Dublin's commitment to environmental preservation and sustainability.
The Vision Plan examined the Bridge Street Corridor area as a series of districts, one named the Indian
Run District:

The visioning process worked to balance the very real need to provide far greater connectivity within
the Bridge Street Corridor with its core Principle of protecting its key natural features (and the Indian
Run stream corridor effectively bisecting the district. The above illustration depicts a proposed
pedestrian bridge in the area of the existing aerial sewer line as one idea to provide some level of
connectivity between the proposed Indian Run District and Dublin's Historic District.
Planning and Preparing for Implementation of the Vision; The Nelson Nygaard Study (2011-2012)
Council's action on the Vision document in 2010, also included direction to the City Managerto move
forward with the preparation of a broad range of implementation strategies and assessments
(regulatory framework, fiscal impacts, infrastructure capacities, etc.) that also included direction to
undertake a comprehensive assessment of transportation impacts and systems needed to service the
new District. The renowned transportation planning firm Nelson Nygaard was retained to lead the
Transportation planning effort forthe Bridge Street District, and its report was finalized in April of 2012.
DUBLIN BRIDGE STREET CORRIDOR
Final Report
CITY OF DUBLIN_
w„.aro:
This transportation planning effort moved forward in close coordination with the more detailed land use
planning and BSD regulatory framework efforts being performed forthe District (the regulatory
framework eventually became the Bridge Street District Code ). The Nelson Nygaard report provided a
range of recommendations that have subsequently informed the BSD Street Standards, roadway
classifications, access policies, internal trip capture rates, the BSD Code, the City's Thoroughfare Plan
and overall district mobility considerations. As it relates specificallyto the roadway connection over the
South Fork Indian Run near Shawan Falls, the Nelson Nygaard recommended Thoroughfare Plan did
include a vehicular roadway connection as depicted below:

As depicted on the study's recommended Thoroughfare Plan, Past Road would shift to the north after
passing over 1-270 and approaching SR 161 at Frantz Road, and then continue east paalI el to SR 161
across the Scioto River, until it ntersectswi th the Sawmill Parkway at the eastern edge of the BSD land
the proposed roadway incl uses two new vehi colar bridge crossings; one over the South Fork Indian Run
rirationalearShawan Falls and another over the Scioto River). The transportation rationale for providing this
bridge crossing over this portion of the Indian Run steam corridor was based primarily upon the
extraordinary transportation connectivity benefits that would result by adding a continuous east west
roadway through the BSD that won Id accommodate significant amounts of 'I coal" traffic, thus avoiding
the need for this local traffic to be added to the heavily congested SR 161 Bridge Street
The BSD River Corridor Framework Plan (2013)
In Tate 2012 and early 2013, the City of Dublin had completed all of the BSD implementation and
planning studies and assessments related to infrastructure capacities (including transportation and
utility plans(, fisal impact assessments, etc. and had adopted the new BSD Code (a primarily form based
Code that refined land uses assessments and provided the regulatory framework to foster and help
implement the new types of development planned for the BSD(. The next priority was to identity the
initial geographic focus area (within the 1,000 acre BSD( for the first phare of BSD implementation. In
late October of 2012 City Council (with concurrence of the Planning and Zoning Commission(
determined that the Scioto River Corridor portion of the BSD would be that initial focus area, and
authorized the OW Administration to quickly engage the necessary planning and engineering services to:
• Explore how the previously identified public infrastructure improvements in this area (such as
relocated Riverside Drive, a new Riverside Drive SR 161 roundabout, a passible Scioto River
park, a pedestrian bridge, etc.( could best be planned to help facilitate the desired types of
private development and redevelopment sought for this area.
• Provide more guidance for the nature and character of the private development and
redevelopment opportunities that exated within the River Corridor and how those would relate
to the planned public infrastructure projects.
One of the major outcomes of the 2013 River Corridor Framework planning effort was that the Southern
Scioto River Vehicular Bridge Crossing was eliminated, and a combined pedestrian and bicycle bridge
Shis affirmed at that location. The location of Northern Scioto River Vehicular Bridge Crossing (John
elds Parkway) was established through this planning effort.
Community Plan Update (2013)
In July of 2013 the Dublin City Council approved a significant update to the City Community Plan (CP)
that dealt with a range of topics, including the incorporation of the key finding from the Bridge Street
Datrict and West Innovation Datrict planning efforts (the Planning and Zoning Commission reviewed
and recommended approval of the proposed Community Plan Amendments(. As those CP amendments
elated to the updated Thoroughfare Plan, the following graphic depicted the consensus
recommendation for the BSD:
The Thoroughfare Plan had incorporated the basic outcomes of the Nelson Nygaard study, as modified
by the River Corridor Framework Plan, and it included only one new vehicular bridge over the Scioto
River within the BSD (that being the John Shields Parkway Bridge(. It also added the proposed
pedestrian -bicycle bridge over the Scioto River, although its precise alignment was later amended
slightly as a result of further planning and feasibility studies (the western landing point was armed to
the north to align with the proposed Rock Cress Parkway and to arrive "at grade" on North High Street(.
Although several adjustments were made to the Nelson Nygaard study recommendations as a result of
the Scioto River Corridor Framework Planning (including the removal of the southern vehicular bridge
crossing the Scioto River), the proposed vehicular bridge over the South Fork Indian Run stream corridor
near Shawan falls remained in the recommended plan and was included as part of the more
comprehensive 2013 Community Plan Update. The area of this Indian Run bridge crossing was outside
the geography of the Scioto River Corridor Framework plan and had not been reassessed as part of that
effort.
West Bridge Street District framework Plan (2016-2017)
In 2016 (as a result of some growing developer interest in the area and other transportation planning
and design efforts occurring in this area of the BSD) City Council designated the portion of the BSD
located along both sides of West Bridge Street (west of the Historic District) as the next focus area for
more detailed BSD corridor based planning. With the initial phases of this planning work completed, the
planning effort has utilized the existing approved Thoroughfare Plan (2013 Amended Community Plan)
as the planned roadway network. There are currently no consultants engaged in this planning effort
whose scope would include reassessing possible changes to the City's approved Thoroughfare Plan in
this area.
As it became known that this South Fork Indian Run bridge crossing is part of the City's approved
Thoroughfare Plan, there have been more public questions raised about the appropriateness of this
crossing, given its potential impacts on this highly protected stream corridor, especially with its unique
natural features and trail systems.
Current Assessment (2017)
It is clear that, with the subsequent removal of the southern Scioto River vehicular bridge crossing, the
original rationale for including a vehicular bridge crossing over the South Fork Indian Run near Shawan
Falls has been reduced substantially. The associated provision of a continuous east -west vehicular
connection across the entire BSD, parallel to SR 161, is no longer included within the city's long term
transportation plan, such that this stream crossing would only provide enhanced access to the area in
and around Dublin's Historic District. Given this reduced level of BSD wide continuity and connection, it
is unlikely that the Nelson Nygaard primary rationale for this vehicular stream crossing over the South
Fork Indian Run still exists. The Administration recommends that the scope of the current West Bridge
Street Framework planning effort be broadened to fully and appropriately assess the impacts of the
removal of this bridge from the Thoroughfare Plan, and how best to manage the traffic that will be
diverted to other routes.
Additionally, the Administration wants to make it clear that there are not currently any plans or capital
programs on the part of the city, nor any known plans of any developer, that would suggest the design
and or construction of this bridge is advancing or being contemplated. Like many other portions of the
City's Thoroughfare Plan, this crossing reflects a long term vision for this infrastructure, with no current
programming for its implementation.
On a related note, we would like to clarify that, although we believe the primary rationale for the
proposed crossing of the South Fork Indian Run at this location is likely reduced with the removal of the
southern Scioto Bridge crossing, we strongly believe that the need to eventually cross the North Fork
Indian Run with John Shields Parkway continues to represent a critically needed roadway connection
that will provide the primary opportunity to help mitigate some of the future traffic congestion at the
intersection of the Bridge Street and High Street intersection. That said, the Plan contemplates that this
bridge will be for a two-lane roadway, and can be designed in a fashion to minimize its negative impacts
on the corridor.
Finally, we would also like to emphasize that even though the need for the South Fork Indian Run stream
vehicular crossing needs to be reconsidered, it is likely that a pedestrian -bicycle structure over this
steam (over the existing aerial sewer line) will be appropriate at some point in the future. Additionally,
the removal of this stream crossing will not affect the need for the extensions of Post Road from the
west to John Shields Parkway-Shawan Falls Drive; nor does it reduce the need for and benefits of the
proposed Rock Cress Parkway from High Street on the east, extending west into the potential future
development of the DCSD property (if it were to ever occur). For a variety of planning, circulation, safety
and traffic management reasons, Rock Cress Parkway remains a very important component of the
overall roadway system in this portion of the City.

Case 18-051ADM I Community Plan —Thoroughfare Plan Amendment
Thursday, September 20, 2018 1 Page 3 of 4
A. Background
Over the past 18 months, several development approvals and other policy decisions have
been made that have impacted the adopted Thoroughfare Plan Map, as well as the Bridge
Street District Street Network Map. The results of these actions are modifying both
documents. This specific submittal addresses changes that only affect the Thoroughfare
Plan Map, which is detailed below.
B. Proposal
This proposed amendment is to revise the Thoroughfare Plan Map to reflect recent
development patterns and envisioned road connections within the Bridge Street District. The
amendment includes two major changes to the Thoroughfare Plan Map. The first, is the
reconfiguration of Riverside Drive, John Shields Parkway, Dale Drive, Rock Cress Parkway,
and Bridge Park Avenue to reflect as -built conditions of the road network since the plan was
last adopted. The classification of each listed roadway will also change to identify existing
connections as opposed to planned (future) corridors.
The second, is the removal of a section of a Planned District Connector, Rock Cress
Parkway, extending from the future extension of Shawan Falls Drive on the west side of
Indian Run, to the existing terminus of Rock Cress Parkway on the east adjacent to the City
garage in the Historic District. This removal was directed by Council. The Thoroughfare Plan
Map will identify the existing portion of Rock Cress Parkway until future extensions are

4. Criteria Analysis
C. Administrative Request — Other Analysis [§153.234]
The Zoning Code does not provide for specific review standards for policy amendments.
However, there are certain considerations that are appropriate when considering an
application for policy amendments. As the Community Plan is a dynamic document intended
to guide development, the recommendations and associated maps require careful attention
to detail to ensure appropriate fulfillment of key policies. Assessments of the Community
Plan recommendations require periodic review for the benefit of the community and future
development proposals. Recent development occurring in the Bridge Street District and
analysis of the grid network as part of the transportation plan identified a need for the
evaluation of the Thoroughfare Plan and corresponding amendments. The proposed
amendments meet the standards of the Dublin Code of Ordinances, align with the intent of
the Community Plan, and promote the City's transportation objectives and strategies.

The proposed Administrative Request — Other is consistent with all applicable review
standards as may be defined by the Dublin Code of Ordinances and Dublin Community Plan.
Approval to City Council is recommended.

Logan Stang explained the Thoroughfare Plan is part of the Community Plan, and identifies both existing
and planned roadway connections throughout the City of Dublin. He said if there are existing roadways
that are planned for future improvements, widenings, etc., those are identified in the Thoroughfare Plan.
He said there are classifications for specific roadway networks: collectors, major and minor arterials,
local, and freeways. The plan guides the larger connection points such as the Tuttle Crossing Boulevard
extension. He said these are typically reviewed during rezoning applications with Planned Unit
Developments (PUDs) or even standard district zonings.
Mr. Stang stated the specific modification that is proposed with this application was highlighted within the
Bridge Street District. He stated that the only proposed change was the removal of the extension of Rock
Cress Parkway from its existing terminus to the west to Shawan Falls Drive, over the Indian Run.
Bob Miller asked if the modification was due to concerns regarding a bridge over the stream, which Mr.
Stang responded in the affirmative.
Mr. Papsidero explained, historically, when the arterial was initially planned, Rock Cress Parkway was
going to be extended across the Scioto River, parallel to W. Bridge Street to provide more connectivity.
He stated this dealt with the redevelopment of the OCLC Campus, which had been studied five to seven
years ago, predating Bridge Park. He noted that during the W. Bridge Street Framework Plan process,
members of the public and Council questioned the need for a bridge crossing at that location, particularly
when the OCLC project was not going to move forward. He reported subsequent to that, Engineering did
a traffic study to understand the implications of removing the Rock Cress extension and found the
impacts were minimal.
Tina Wawskewicz said the traffic analysis showed the vehicular connection across the river is going to be
John Shields Parkway, which makes that connection much stronger. She explained by taking out the link
of Rock Cress Parkway the rest of the grid system absorbed impacts.
Mr. Miller asked Ms. Wawskewicz about the timing of the construction of the John Shields Parkway
Bridge. She answered it is in the Capital Improvements Program as "a beyond category", which means
beyond five years for construction.
Mr. Miller said this is much better than what was proposed a year and a half ago or so
