Clintonville 1 (“Central” Clintonville) Updates
General:
• OSU researchers and grad students will be in the neighborhood throughout the summer and fall collecting
water samples and installing new monitoring equipment as part of their Blueprint Evaluation and
Monitoring project.
• Sump Pump installations will be available through 2021. We still have ~70 available spots on the waiting list
to reach our goal. (Initial inspection is “no obligation” – so it doesn’t hurt to have us come out and see if a
sump pump is right for you!)
• Blueprint is not doing any additional paving in Clintonville. Questions regarding current paving activities, or
requests for re-paving, should be directed to the Department of Public Service.
Weisheimer-Indian Springs:
• All Roofwater Redirection and Lateral Lining is complete for this area.
• Rain Gardens are currently being maintained under the city’s maintenance contract.
Cooke Glenmont:
• Roofwater Redirection and Lateral Lining is currently in progress (residents should look out for door hanger
notifications for dates specific to their property).
• Rain Gardens are currently being maintained under the city’s maintenance contract.
Overbrook-Chatham:
• Roofwater Redirection and Lateral Lining is currently in progress (residents should look out for door hanger
notifications for dates specific to their property). This work should be wrapped up in ~2 months.
• Rain Gardens are currently being maintained under the city’s maintenance contract.
Morse-Dominion:
• Roofwater Redirection and Lateral Lining is complete for this area.
• A neighborhood forum for this project area ONLY will be scheduled for late August to review and gather
feedback on the solutions developed to address resident concerns with this particular design. This date has
been pushed back to gather additional data and ensure preliminary department approval of options being
presented to the residents.
Schreyer-Springs:
• Roofwater Redirection is complete for this area.
• Lateral Lining has begun in this area (residents should look out for door hanger notifications for dates
specific to their property).
• Rain Gardens are currently being maintained under the city’s maintenance contract.
Blenheim-Glencoe:
• Lateral Lining is currently in progress (residents should look out for door hanger notifications for dates
specific to their property).
• Roofwater Redirection will begin this fall. Residents can expect a mailed letter when the contract is
“activated”. All residents will be offered an opportunity to participate in a “homeowner’s meeting” with the
team to review proposed work.
• Rain Gardens are currently being maintained by the contractor, will transition to the city’s maintenance
contract in November.
Clintonville 3 (“Southern” Clintonville) Updates
• Blueprint will hold the preliminary design meeting (“30% Design”) in the first quarter of 2021. Residents will
be notified by mail and notification will be provided to the commission. Residents directly adjacent to
proposed green infrastructure locations will also receive a postcard to further encourage their participation
in the design process.
• Soil sample collection and monitoring in the Walhalla Ravine will be completed by October 2020. A
presentation of the data results and potential solutions for the ravine will be shared early next year.
• A subsequent “60% Design” meeting will be scheduled later in 2021 to gather feedback on the next iteration
of plans.
• Sump Pump installations in this project area will begin in 2021/2022. Individuals can request to be added to
the waiting list at this time by emailing blueprint@columbus.gov.
Clintonville 2 (“Northern” Clintonville) Updates
• Initial surveying/data collection will begin in this area in 2025.
• Sump Pump installations will begin in 2028.
Old Beechwold Storm & Roadway Improvements Project
• Final design is in progress. Though there are a couple green infrastructure features planned, the scope of
this project is beyond “traditional” Blueprint. Questions regarding this project should be directed to George
Zonders, gjzonders@columbus.gov.
• Blueprint private property improvements (sump pumps, roofwater redirection, lateral lining) will begin in
2028 to coincide with the larger Clintonville 2 project area.
