Since there are so many questions/discussions about” Blue Print Columbus” , “rain gardens”, free sump pumps, lateral linings, etc. We’re posting a link to the video series on ALL the “4 Pillars” of the Blue Print program. There are also downloadable FAQ brochures for each “pillar” of the program. This is a good resource for understanding the numerous projects underway that are tied to Blueprint Columbus!

Due to the weather, the second phase of work for the High Street @ Henderson Road crosswalks will not be occurring. The Project Manager is working with the contractor to reschedule phase 2. Once information is received and reschedule another update will be posted.
