How to Safely Visit the Short North Arts District

 

Wear a Mask

If a business has posted signage requesting visitors to wear a mask before entering, please comply with their request and leave the mask on the entire time you are in the business.

Wash & Sanitize Hands

Soap and water is available to use in some businesses, and hand sanitizer is available to use and/or for purchase in some businesses. Please consider washing and/or sanitizing your hands upon entering and exiting a business when possible. Hand washing and sanitizing best practices include:

  • Using soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after you have been in a public place, or after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing
  • If soap and water are not available, use a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol
  • Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands

Maintain Social Distance

Whether inside a business or on a sidewalk in the Short North Arts District, please maintain six feet between yourself and others to be respectful of their health and safety. If a business is at capacity or there is a line to wait to enter, please be patient, and avoid crowded places and gathering in groups. If a business has placed markers on the sidewalks showing waiting places, please observe them.

Park with Contactless Payment

Parking in the Short North Arts District is easier – and safer – than ever. In addition to new contactless options that have recently been installed throughout the District, the ParkColumbus App continues to be a quick and easy contactless method of paying for parking.
