Fall Reminders

School’s Back, Park Reminders & More

Hello Neighbors,

It’s hard to believe but summer vacation is coming to an end and fall activities are starting to ramp up. A few reminders for the coming weeks…

School is getting underway!

• Busy Bus Stops
  Please keep an eye out for the kids during the morning and afternoon school bus hours.

 

• Street Side Parked Cars
  If you park street side please be sure to leave the busses plenty of room to turn.  Stay close to curbs and away from intersections when possible.

  Park Reminders

• Anyone under the age of 14 should have a parent or guardian with them at all times while at the park.
  This is to ensure all park rules are being followed and property treated appropriately and safely.

 

• The park is private property and should be treated with respect.
  Climbing on the equipment should be limited to its intended use and climbing on the top of the shelter or park equipment is strictly prohibited. All park rules should be followed at all times.

 

• There is no lost and found box at the neighborhood park.
  Keep an eye on your belongings and ensure all personal items are taken when leaving.

 

• Please “bring it in, bring it out”.

The trash can at the park should capture the odd need while folks enjoy the park. This trash can is emptied by your neighbors (in their personal trash cans) so please be courteous when throwing away items. Please take empty beverage cups and pet waste bags to your own container.

 

Additional Updates

• Speeding and Parking – Speeds on our main thoroughfares have been ticking up higher recently.  We have many folks parking along our roadways on these main roadways. This can make seeing folks crossing streets much more challenging – especially when coming around corners/bends.

Please make sure that vehicles parked along roadways are inline with curbs and not obstructing mailboxes/driveways. Also please slow down when traveling through these densely packed areas, beyond vehicles in the roadways there are children outside playing and utilizing sidewalks or streets for bike riding or just to grab an errant basket or soccer ball.

 

• Alton-Darby Construction – We have all been experiencing the frustration that the closure of Alton-Darby at Feder and other local roadwork projects have brought to those in our community. In the coming weeks as new school routines are taking shape please be sure to add extra time to your morning commute to allow for the additional traffic.

 

• Fiber Line Installation – The installation of the utility lines has created even more frustration within the community with homeowners now dealing with reseeding areas of their lawns or dealing with further issue left by this utility work. We encourage homeowners with concerns about their property and how this work may affect them to contact Ohio Utility Protection Service (OUPS/Call811), they may be able to assist in identifying the party who is completing work on their property. You can also look up permit applications with the City of Columbus at: https://www.columbus.gov/Business-Development/Get-a-Permit/Get-or-Track-a-Building-Permit

 

• Yard Waste Bags & Landscaping Updates – As homeowners begin to prune back and make adjustments to landscaping for the fall and beyond a reminder that yard waste bags should be screened from view until the next pickup date. Also, before making any permanent landscaping changes (like removing trees/bushes) – take a moment to review the handbook landscaping requirements to ensure your home doesn’t fall out of compliance. Some adjustments may require a Request for Review application depending on the project scope.
