COLUMBUS – The City of Columbus on Monday rolled out a 12-month trial of a new program to address the growing demand for curb space for deliveries and passenger pickups and drop-offs.
The mobility company curbFlow will coordinate activity at nine locations along the N. High Street corridor from the OSU campus to Downtown where pickups and drop-offs lead to dangerous double parking that blocks crosswalks, and travel, bike and bus lanes.
Drivers will use an app to reserve and check in and out of Loading Management Zones will be set aside for commercial vehicles and ride-hailing and online food delivery services:
High St. – W. Norwich Ave. to W. Lane Ave.
High St. – E. 18th St. to W 18th St.
High St. – E. 12th St. to E. 13th St.
High St. – Chittenden Ave. to W. 11th St. Ave.
High St. – E. 9th Ave. to W. 9th Ave.
High St. – W. 2nd Ave. to E. 2nd Ave.
Vine St. between High St. and Wall St.
Park St. – Spruce St. to Vine St.
Gay St. – N. High St. to Pearl St.
The city’s Division of Parking Services and curbFlow will coordinate commercial operator pickup and drop-off activity to available curb space in real time.
