Today, we celebrated the advancement of the Shier Rings Road Shared-Use Path project alongside our partners at Washington Township Fire Department-Dublin OH and the City of Dublin, Ohio - Government. This new connection closes a gap in an existing pedestrian and bike route, making it safer to get around and connecting people to newly extended COTA Line 1.
The Shier Rings Road project is part of the growing network of sidewalks, bikeways and trails taking shape across Central Ohio this year.
