A more inviting, and more easily navigated, alley system could be the focus of Westerville’s Uptown plan.
An alley system running north-south behind businesses the length of Uptown, with mid-block alleys running east-west between businesses, could alleviate congestion on State Street, make navigation more intuitive, better link businesses and parking and provide businesses with space for patios, window displays or other uses, said Westerville Senior Planner Bassem Bitar.
The city began work on a plan for the Uptown district last fall, looking at existing conditions in Uptown and at what could be done to improve the area.
