High Street is the Main Street of Columbus’ University District - a highly diverse urban community of nearly 50,000 people that displays some of the greatest strengths and most challenging problems found in America’s cities. The district offers many personalities as it extends from the urban liveliness of the Short North to the stable residential character of Clintonville. Over roughly two miles, High Street embodies these personalities and takes on the richness, layered complexity, and challenges of a great urban Main Street. A Plan for High Street represents a vision, urban design framework, and implementation strategy to capture the street’s promise as the vibrant commercial, cultural, and civic center of a vital community: a 21st century Main Street.

The Plan, prepared in close cooperation with a diverse Advisory Steering Committee, is a critical element in a broad initiative spearheaded by Campus Partners and the City of Columbus, in collaboration with the community, to restore the University District as a place of choice to live, work, learn, and invest.
