UA Council Approves Arlington Gateway Project

upperarlingtonohio.gov

Upper Arlington City Council members have approved  plans for a mixed-use development project along Lane Avenue near North Star Road. 

The Arlington Gateway project will include an eleven story building with 27-thousand square feet of retail space, 200 apartments, and a seven story parking garage.  Opponents remain concerned over traffic congestion, pedestrian safety, and neighborhood aesthetics.  Developers hope to have the project completed by 2021 but must wait until a traffic study is conducted and approved before construction begins.
