COTA's LinkUS progress report shows near-term study of BRT line through Gahanna, city says
Summary
A LinkUS progress report from the Central Ohio Transit Authority identifies a Bus Rapid Transit line through Gahanna for near-term study; council said the city has reached out to COTA for more information.
Gahanna City Council received a LinkUS progress report from the Central Ohio Transit Authority (COTA) on June 2 that identifies a Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) line through Gahanna as planned for near-term study.
Council President Bowers drew attention to the report and said the administration has reached out to COTA for additional information and to discuss ongoing engagement. "I wanted to draw your attention, especially to BRT project status on page 2, that does identify, a line through Gahanna as, planned for near term study," Bowers said during council correspondence and actions.
Why it matters: A near-term study designation signals potential planning work for higher-capacity transit along a corridor that could affect local travel patterns, land use planning and future public engagement. City officials said they will continue to monitor progress and coordinate with COTA and the administration.
No formal council action, vote or commitment of local funding was recorded at the meeting; council members said they expected future updates and additional engagement from COTA and staff.
