The Scissors

The Scissors concept implements a direct northward alignment of Shier Rings Road to establish a U.S. 33 bypass similar in concept to Emerald Parkway along I-270. The future road extension would create a direct route from Emerald Parkway to Industrial Parkway, and provides a continuous reliever along the interstate from Dublin to Marysville. The proposal also includes the implementation of a new formal entrance into Darree Fields. Similar to the U.S. 33 reliever, the plan creates a new east-west collector that parallels SR 161 creating a “scissors” or crossing point on City-owned land. The concept also downplays residential areas along Shier Rings Road and provides enhanced access and visibility for more properties within the area.
