UDO sponsors discussion series on future of University
District The University District Organization is sponsoring
a four-part series of discussions of urban issues and neighborhood challenges
with a focus on the University District.
The first in the HOPE Fifth Monday Series will be Monday, June 30,
from 7 to 8:30 p.m. at Indianola Presbyterian Church, 1970 Waldeck Ave.
Michael Wilkos, senior impact director with
United Way of Central Ohio, will speak on emerging trends in Columbus
neighborhoods. The discussions in the series will be held during
months which have five Mondays, which occurs four times per year. The series is supported by a
Neighborhood Partnership grant from United Way of Central Ohio. For information on the series, visit http://www.universitydistrict.org/pdfs/HarmonyJuneInvite.pdf. Special collection of bulk refuse will
begin August 20 The city’s Refuse
Collection Division plans to conduct its 12th annual special collection of
bulk refuse in the University District from August 20 through September
8. As in past years,
approximately eight drop-off locations will be established, primarily in the
predominantly student neighborhood.
The goal is to remove bulk refuse as efficiently as possible during
the annual move-out and move-in of college students in late August and early
September. The Campus Partners Public Service Committee and
the University District Code Enforcement Task Force will meet jointly on
Tuesday, August 12, at 1:30 p.m. in room 100 of the Northwood-High Building,
2231 N. High Street. Street sweeping returns July 10 and 11 The next monthly street sweeping in the University
District will be Thursday, July 10, and Friday, July 11. The sweeping is done on the second
Thursday and Friday of each month from April through October. The north and east sides of the
streets are swept on Thursday.
The south and west sides of the street are swept on Friday. Permanent metal signs are posted on
the streets that are swept. Youngstown civic leaders visit Campus
Partners Representatives of the Youngstown civic
association, Wick Neighbors, Inc., and Youngstown State University met with
Campus Partners staff on June 6 to discuss how some of the lessons from work
in the University District might be applied to their neighborhood in
northeast Ohio. The civic leaders
were particularly interested in Campus Partners’ experience as a
non-profit redevelopment corporation and its relationship with Ohio State. |
