UIRF FUND – CAC VOTE OUTCOME

Posted by smb under UIRF FUNDS

Thursday’s CAC meeting was long and informative. Rick Tilton, City of Columbus Public Utilities, presented information on the bond package. The CAC voted on use of UIRF Funds which are specifically granted to be used for transportation projects on High Street within the city’s right-of-way or property. The commissioners unanimously supported the rebuilding of the Overbrook sidewalk (only, no overlook or stair), rejected the front Whetstone Community Center driveway (for safety reasons, mostly), and voted unanimously to use the remaining funds to support the original intent of the UIRF funds to improve crosswalks along High Street south of Morse Road. Look for more information in the local paper.

A lively discussion of pros and cons to three Clintonville improvement projects was recorded at the July 31st meeting at the Whetstone Library. D Searcy writes: 

Forty-six people completed the UIRF tally at the end of the meeting. The results: Overbrook Overlook: 29, 15, 2; Whetstone Drive: 9, 6, 31; Crosswalks: 8, 25, 13

We were asked to vote 1, 2, 3 in order of our preference. Prior to the tally, D broke us into 4 groups where we listed and reported pros and cons to each of the 3 proposed projects. The results are listed in order of preference. For example, Overbrook Overlook had 29 votes for 1st choice, 15 votes for 2nd choice, and 2 votes for 3rd choice.
