SHIER RINGS ROADWAY CORRIDOR CHARACTER STUDY
KICK-OFF |
June 2013
I. EXISTING CONDITIONS ANALYSIS
June - August 2013
II. STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT
Interviews | June - August 2013
Stakeholders from the study area were invited to
participate in group and one-on-one interviews with
the consultant team. Participants included property
and business owners and representatives from AEP,
Air Force One, Dublin Building Systems, Hidaka USA,
Hilliard’s Furniture, Jobe & Associates, Sertek, Stanley
Steemer and others.
Stakeholders commented that the corridor location
is attractive to those who want to operate a business
within the City. However, the roadway feels disjointed
because of its unusual combination of uses. The
stakeholders agreed that the road does not have the
feel of a Dublin roadway when compared to roads like
Emerald Parkway, which have a manicured landscape
character and a consistent physical form.
II. STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT
Public Open House #1 | September 18, 2013
The purpose of the first public open house was to
introduce the Shier Rings Roadway Corridor Character
Study, provide an overview of the preliminary
recommendations within the context of previous
planning efforts, and obtain input from stakeholders
including property owners, business owners, residents
of adjacent neighborhoods, and other interested
parties.
Attendees reviewed information related to existing
conditions, past planning efforts and general roadway
characteristics. Participants were encouraged to
participate in an implementation exercise that was
used to prioritize potential development character
recommendations for the study area.

information on each phase of the Shier
Rings Roadway Corridor Character Study.
PROJECT COMPONENTS
During the planning process, a series of
charrette-style work sessions served as
the primary tool for idea sharing, design
development, and consensus building among
City of Dublin staff, including Planning,
Engineering and Economic Development.
The work sessions provided guidance on
the area’s current conditions, future public
improvements, corridor design aesthetics, and
estimated timelines for implementation. The
outcome of these charrettes was a framework
for the corridor study to proceed.
IV. PRESENTATION TO
PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION
2013
TheShierRingsRoadwayCorridorCharacterStudy was
presented to the Planning and Zoning Commission
for informal review on December 5, 2013. Following
public review of the draft recommendations a revised
plan will be presented to the P&ZC for further review
and a recommendation to City Council.
COMMUNITY PLANNING
The best community planning efforts are
those that have community support and a
strong framework for implementation.
As part of the existing conditions inventory,
Shier Rings Road corridor stakeholders
were engaged to provide their insight and
perceptions.
A series of work sessions were held among
City of Dublin staff, including Planning,
Engineering and Economic Development
to
facilitate
idea
sharing,
design
development, and consensus building.
The work sessions provided opportunities
to asses the area’s current conditions,
future public improvements, corridor
design aesthetics, and create a framework
for implementation.
The final step is for the Planning & Zoning
Commission to review the plan to ensure it
is in keeping with City policy.
