A plan for the riverfront in downtown Columbus will be formally presented to the City Council and Redevelopment Commission at a special meeting tomorrow night.

The plan is centered around a $1.9 million dollar People Trail connection that will loop under the downtown bridges, says Heather Pope, director of the Columbus Redevelopment Department. That will include a substantial amount of “armoring” — a process to protect the project from erosion.

The city’s consultants, the Hitchcock Design Group, will be breaking the overall project down into smaller components.

After the People Trail connection there are various add-on projects that could be considered, Pope says.  Those include items such as  drops installed in the river for kayaking and tubing.

Thursday’s meeting will include funding options for the council and commission to consider, Pope said.

The meeting will start at 6 p.m. at Donner Center and city officials hope you will attend.
