Brooksedge Mobility Improvements Phase I Set to Begin
Construction is expected to begin in early spring on the first phase of the Brooksedge Mobility Plan. The plan will include multiple phases to improve pedestrian and bicycle facilities throughout the Brooksedge Corporate Center. Improvements in Phase I will include sidewalk installation, curb ramps, drive approaches and spot curb repair on Brooksedge Boulevard from West Schrock Road to Greencrest Drive and on Greencrest Drive to Heatherdown Drive. Completion is expected in late summer. “The City is always looking at mobility options and how best to implement them,” said Nate Lang, Westerville City Engineer. “The addition of this new walk provides connectivity to both State Street and Schrock Road for the adjacent businesses in the Brooksedge area.” Updates will be available at www.westerville.org/construction.
