West Nile Alert!!

A Positive mosquito pool for West Nile Virus was collected from a trap near Colerain Elementary School.  The test was confirmed on August 30th by our staff. Due to this positive West Nile Virus mosquito pool, our Vector Control Program will be treating in Clintonville on Friday, September 6, 2019 from 3:30 am- 7:00 am.

The boundaries for the treatment are as follows:

  • Wetmore Rd. to the North
  • Cooke Rd. to the South
  • The railroad tracks to the East
  • High St. to the West

A press release and spray map was issued Tuesday, September 3, 2019 it is attached here and the link to the on-line treatment map is attached to that. At this moment all requests to opt out of mosquito treatment will be honored that have already been filed.

The positive West Nile Virus pool does serve as a reminder for us to continue protecting ourselves from mosquito bites and to eliminate stagnant water from our properties including places such as gutters, rain barrels, and bird baths. One can also protect themselves from mosquito bites by using insect repellents and by minimizing their time spent outside during the late evening and early morning hours. Please let Ryan Younge, RS, the Vector Control Program Manager, know if you would like to discuss in further detail our mosquito reduction activities planned in Clintonville this week. His e-mail address is rtyounge@columbus.gov and his phone number is 614.645.6153.

Blueprint Construction Update (Week of August 26th)

 

Construction Update – Week of August 26th
Please note that construction schedules are subject to change due to weather, site issues, etc.

Reference this Construction MAP to view the impacted construction areas for next week.

Unsure about which is your area? Visit the Blueprint map and type in your address to find out!

General Updates

  • Several streets are slated for repaving in conjunction with Department of Public Service. Repaving schedules are currently being finalized with the contractor in most areas.
  • Inlet protections for storm sewer inlets will remain until construction has ended and disturbed sites are stabilized. Please do not tamper with or remove them, they are required construction site controls to keep sediment and debris from the construction activities out of the storm sewer. Newly constructed rain garden inlets are also initially blocked with straw waddles to allow the plants to get established and stabilized before becoming fully functional. All inlet protections will be removed by the contractor when allowed.
  • The rain gardens are designed to drain in 48 hours or less. Some standing water within the garden after a rain event is normal. However, if the rain gardens are overflowing or have standing water for more than 2 days, please report that to blueprint@columbus.gov
  • Just like a normal storm drain, the rain gardens can’t do their job if leaves/debris are piling up and blocking water from entering the inlet. Our crews will clear these inlets during regular maintenance, but if you see leaves piling up and blocking the rain garden inlets, feel free to push them aside to allow rainwater to enter. And, as always, remember to keep leaves and yard waste out of the streets as much as possible.

Schreyer Springs

  • Facemyer has completed all project work within the project work zone. Rain gardens will continue to have a monthly cleanout/maintenance performed on them.
  • Downspout installations have begun and are being scheduled with the homeowners. You will receive a door notice 5 days prior to work taking place.

Weisheimer Indian Springs

  • Igel has completed all their downspout installations.
  • BLD will not be onsite.

  •  Additional evaluations are being conducted in conjunction with repaving plans. Schedules are being finalized with the repaving contractor.
  • Glencoe Rd. Resurfacing Update:  Glencoe Rd. is part of the Dept of Public Service’ 2019 resurfacing list.  Columbia Gas has gas line work that must be completed as well.  Both are collaborating to complete this work.  AFTER Columbia Gas performs their gas line work, DPS will proceed with street stabilization and resurfacing work, including curb.  Timeline for resurfacing work is by the end of this construction season. As more detailed schedules become available, we will provide that information in these updates.
