From Jeffrey Ortega at the City of Columbus:
Striping of the long line – new lane configuration is planned for this evening.
New signs are up and bagged and one signal will have to be shifted at Cooke.
Tuesday morning – rush hour should be with the new striping road diet configuration.
Hand work (arrows, crosswalk, etc) will continue weather permitting during daytime hours.
There were three separate positive mosquito pools for West Nile Virus (WNV) collected from traps at Morse Road, Colerain Elementary, and Como Avenue. The mosquito pool tested from the Como Ave. location was confirmed WNV+ by the Ohio Department of Health. The mosquito pools tested from the Morse Road and Colerain Elementary locations were confirmed WNV+, by our staff on August 10th. Due to these positive West Nile Virus mosquito pools, our Vector Control Program will be spraying in Clintonville on Wednesday, August 16th and Thursday, August 17th from 3:30 am-6:30 am.
The boundaries for the two sprays on August 16th are as follows:
Beechwold Blvd. to the North
Cooke Road to the South
Indianola Ave. to the East
Foster St. and Sellers Ave. to the West
North Broadway to the North
Weber Road to the South
High Street and Broadway Pl. to the East
Riverside Dr. to the West
The boundaries for August 17th spray are as follows:
Chase Road to the North
Morse Road to the South
Indianola Ave. to the East
The Olentangy River and Graceland to the West
A press release and spray map was issued Tuesday, August 15th it is attached here and the link to the on-line spray map is attached to that. At this moment all requests to opt out of mosquito spraying will be honored that have already been filed.
The positive West Nile Virus pools do 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.

This is the latest schedule received on Indianola “Road Diet”
– Milling and Paving Operations on Indianola are currently scheduled as night work, concrete work continues during the day.
Current permit allows for work to be performed 24 hours a day
– Although there are quite a few homes in close proximity Indianola Ave is an arterial street and handles high traffic volumes, thus the work hour permissions.
– Milling should conclude Thursday or Friday, followed by SAMI (road will be covered with gravel for a few days)
– Paving scheduled to begin next Sunday night. (Weather Permitting ) and should last about 4 nights.
– Operations extend from North Broadway to Morse road
– Dates are estimated but goal is to have all work, including new striping (road diet) and signal work done by Aug 25th
Post these on your refrigerator or put them on speed dial.
Look for BluePrint Field Reps in the neighborhood!
