Dublin Community Church

As part of a comprehensive Parking Demand Study in Historic Dublin, the City of Dublin is collaborating with Rich & Associates, one of the nation’s premier professional parking consultants, to fully assess the parking demand/supply needs in Historic Dublin.

The Parking Demand Study will kick off with a public information meeting on Tuesday, August 10 at the Dublin Community Church from 6:30 - 8:30 p.m. We encourage anyone who wants to learn more about the Parking Demand Study to attend this meeting. There will be information presented on the activities, measurement tools and process to gather, analyze and assess data for the Study, and there will also be an opportunity for questions and discussion.

Based upon the findings from the City of Dublin will present short-term and long-term policy recommendations and solutions for public review later this fall.

The purposes of the parking demand study are to:

• Provide a more precise assessment of the scope and extent of
  parking needs

• Evaluate parking operations, space utilization and turnover

• Recommend physical improvements and management strategies

At the first public meeting on Tuesday, August 10, Rich & Associates will

• Introduce the purposes of the study

• Describe the study process

• Highlight some of the visible elements

• Present preliminary findings of research

• Seek public comment
  

Historic Dublin residents, property owners, business operators, employees and patrons are encouraged to
attend. We also encourage you to share the news of this public meeting.

From the Past to the Present

The charm of Historic Dublin comes from its wealth of historic buildings, many of which are listed on the National Register of Historic Places and the Ohio Historic Inventory. Until the early 1970s Dublin maintained a stable population and land area. Since then, Dublin has been one of the fastest growing communities in Ohio. Unlike those communities, however, Dublin has retained its original historic core in a remarkably intact state. 

Historic Dublin is a well-preserved district of homes and businesses, many of which are located in historic structures, that form the core of the city. These structures, along with other historic properties elsewhere in the community contribute to Dublin's sense of character and remind residents and visitors of its long history and vibrant future.

In Historic Dublin, visitors can still experience the environment of a small village with buildings that have been a part of Dublin for well over a century and a half. In the Historic District, it is easy to get a sense of the Dublin’s past and to gain some understand of what village life must have been like during the 19th and early 20th centuries. 

For this village character to have survived so well is a credit to those who have worked tirelessly to maintain the historical integrity of the District, a thriving community with residences, businesses, and events that give soul to the heart of Dublin.
