Columbus City Council has laid the foundation for the future of city sidewalks and bikeways.

Legislation passed last month resolves conflicts within the Columbus codes, brings the city into compliance with 2006 changes to Ohio law, and sets the legal framework for behavior by drivers and bicyclists, said Public Service Director Mark Kelsey.

Since 1993, Columbus City Council has adopted a number of ordinances that have to do with sidewalks and bikeways. It voted to express support for Complete Streets in July and adopt the Bicentennial Bikeways Plan in June.
