    First, CVS put a pharmacy on W. 5th Avenue just north of Grandview Heights. Next, a Walgreens is going up at W. 5th and Grandview avenues.

    Similar things are happening in a lot of other areas of Columbus, which is what some people who live and work in this Northwest Side neighborhood do not want.

    So the city is developing a plan to guide development.

    Members of the 5th by Northwest Area Commission want the area to retain its neighborhood atmosphere, especially in the commercial areas along main thoroughfares such as 5th, King and Grandview avenues. Those streets already are lined with gas stations and chain restaurants such as Taco Bell but also with local retailers and restaurants.

    They want a seamless feeling as folks travel between the suburb of Grandview Heights and their neighborhood.
