Blueprint Clintonville 3 Update (Meeting 3/16 via Zoom)

From District 4 Clintonville Area Commissioner Hugh Crowell:

The first (virtual) public meeting for the Clintonville 3 Blueprint Columbus project has been announced.  The March 16 meeting is important because it will be the first opportunity for residents to see where the City is considering installing rain gardens and pervious pavement – remember that one of these projects may be located on your street, or in front of your house or your neighbor’s house. There are excellent science-based reasons for doing this project, but construction may be disruptive for many residents.
Here are the details of the meeting:

Proposed for Public Comment: CAC Elections Changes

The City of Columbus is piloting a city-wide Area Commission election calendar that would synchronize participating area commission elections.
The CAC Elections Committee has developed the following timeline and is sharing it with the CAC membership as well as the public for comment.
In addition to the proposed timeline, the CAC Elections Committee has proposed eliminating the mail-in ballot process for CAC elections.
Please review all the proposed changes here:
