CoGo to Expand to Clintonville
At the February Clintonville Area Commission meeting three students from The Ohio State University Knowlton School for City and Regional Planning shared information regarding plans to expand the CoGo Bike Share System into parts of
Clintonville. Their group is hoping to field suggestions for spots in Clintonville where having the COGO bikes
would be desirable. Sites under consideration should be in the city “right of way”.
The commission invites residents to check out the websites below, particularly the“Four Cities” and “Blog” bullets. Please contact the group with any ideas either by email or tweet.

Water Main Break

“There was a water main break on Olentangy River Road that is affecting much of Clintonville. I spoke to the city and they said there’s a crew working on it, but they could not give me any kind of a time-frame for a fix.”
