MORPC Matters: Take action, be part of this year s Earth Day

MORPC Matters: Take action, be part of this year’s Earth Day Brandi Whetstone Guest Columnist Now that we are well in the month of April, Earth Day is around the corner, which is an important reminder of our responsibility to take care of this place we all call home. We’re really fortunate in central Ohio to have abundant water resources, diverse landscapes and a regional parks and trails system that make our communities more attractive and livable. Since 2007, Earth Day volunteers throughout central Ohio collectively have engaged in more than 100,000 hours of community service to plant trees and community gardens, clean up litter and perform other tasks. This movement, led locally by Green Columbus, has grown into the one of the largest volunteer-driven service events in the country for Earth Day, and that tradition continues in 2021.

Columbus is creating a safety plan for Mount Vernon Avenue

Mount Vernon Avenue runs through the heart of the King-Lincoln-Bronzeville neighborhood. It is home to small stores and pharmacies, houses and a barber shop. It s also been home to speeders and the scene of many crashes, making it dangerous at times not only for motorists, but also for pedestrians and bicyclists as the neighborhood near Downtown continues to become more popular with developers and new residents.  So the city of Columbus is embarking on a plan to make the Mount Vernon Avenue corridor safer. Over the past couple of years, we ve been concerned about crashes at some intersections and speeding in the corridor, said Reynaldo Stargell, administrator of the city s traffic management division.
