As The Ohio State University continues to expand and grow, especially across the Olentangy River, there is a major opportunity to create a corridor connecting all of the University’s assets. REALM was asked to create a master plan for the Lane Avenue and Kenny Road area, especially considering the connection to the newly established Innovation District.

REALM aims to make the area more walkable, bikeable, and overall accessible for students crossing over the river. Larger promenade-like sidewalks encourage group activity, and a dedicated bike lane and bike racks will ensure bikers feel safe in the area. The introduction of more street trees will give the impression of a green corridor – transforming Kenny and Lane from vehicular pass-through streets into campus parkways.
