The ambitious $44-million Scioto Mile seeks to revive the Columbus, Ohio, riverfront as a public attraction with the addition of a park containing an amphitheater, restaurant and fountain, and an accompanying 30-ft-wide promenade, replete with a pedestrian walkway, canal fountains, a colonnade and card and chess tables.
Among other challenges, the program called for removal and offsite restoration of an 80-year-old riverfront balustrade, which was carefully restored and returned to its original position.
