Explanation
The Columbus Regional Airport Authority ("CRAA") is currently constructing a new roadway that begins at the western terminus of existing Port Road, west of Alum Creek Drive, and proceeds west to Lockbourne-Eastern Road in Pickaway County. This new road will serve as the main entrance to the Rickenbacker Intermodal Facility that is currently under construction and to the proposed Rickenbacker Global Logistic Park. This new road, being constructed by CRAA, is to be known as Rickenbacker Parkway West. The Public Service Department, Transportation Division, recently received a request from CRAA asking that the portion of existing Port Road located west of Alum Creek Drive, be renamed as Rickenbacker Parkway West. Alum Creek Drive is a primary access roadway leading into the area and CRAA has requested this name change to ensure the entire roadway, located west of Alum Creek Drive, has a consistent street name.
Prior to submitting their request to the City of Columbus, CRAA, the Franklin County and the Pickaway County Engineers met to discuss and agreed upon this proposed name change. Additionally, the owners of those properties and business currently addressed off of Port Road have been contacted and have agreed to the proposed name change. After review of this proposal, the Transportation Division has no objections to changing the name of existing Port Road, from the west right-of-way line of Alum Creek Drive to its western terminus, to Rickenbacker Parkway West.
