Coyotes in
the Neighborhood
December 30,
2011
Coyotes,
both alone and in pairs, are being seen regularly
throughout our subdivision. Their howling is often heard
late at night. While it can be a bit unnerving to spot a
coyote in your yard or encountering one while out for a
run or walking the dog, Dublin officials want to dispel
the fear that residents are in danger.
Coyotes rarely attack
humans, unless directly provoked or threatened. The
animals are curious of people, but they are shy and
cautious and generally go out of their way to avoid
human contact. Across the US and Canada there are an
average of 3 coyote attacks in any given year. Your risk
of being attacked by a dog is far greater with
hundreds of such attacks occurring in Franklin County
annually.
Domestic cats and dogs can be in
danger from our coyote residents, however. While coyotes
are carnivores, pets are not usually considered a food
source for the coyote, but rather a threat to the
coyote's territory. Don't leave small pets outside
unattended or let them run free, off leash. For added
protection, carry pepper spray, vinegar in a spray
bottle or carry a walking stick when walking in areas
where coyotes have been seen.
If you see a coyote, wait for it
to leave first. Never leave before the coyote.
Throw rocks or other items in the coyote's direction,
spray water from a garden hose, wave your arms, yell and
try to look as large as you can. This is a safe way to
remind coyotes they should stay away from humans. Never
coax the animal closer with food or a soft voice.

annual obligation.

Pranksters
Post (Un)Deadly Warning...
August 13, 2011
Halloween
arrived early as some clever pranksters hacked a City of
Dublin traffic information sign on Rings Road, changing
the message to ZOMBIE OUTBREAK.
The sign just happened to be
right next to the Sandy Corners cemetery, which dates
from 1845. None of the occupants appear to be missing.
The electronic sign previously
warned drivers of a much-less-intriguing repaving
project. WCMH-TV 4 featured the sign on their 11 pm
Saturday newscast. Click

report.
Reminder:
Dublin is a No Text Zone!
March 16, 2011
The City
of Dublin has banned texting while driving. The new
legislation went into effect on March 16, 2011. The
new ordinance prohibits sending, reading, or writing
a text message or accessing the Internet while driving.
To read the new ordinance click
here. Other
Central Ohio communities with texting bans include
Bexley, Hilliard, New Albany, Worthington and the city
of Columbus.
New
Trash/Recycling Bin Rules
September 13, 2010
The
City of Dublin now requires that trash and recycling
containers must be stored out of sight, either inside a
garage or screened areas in the side or back yard.
Violation of the new ordinance is a minor misdemeanor.
The new ordinance went into effect on September 13th.
For those wishing to store their
containers in the side or back yard, that location must
be shielded from the view of any adjoining property's
occupants and any street "by natural landscape barriers,
which will maintain a 100 per cent year-round opacity
within two years of planting."
Acceptable natural screening
includes columnar or pyramidal evergreens that will be
touching and growing into each other within two years.
Various varieties of juniper, false cypress and
arborvitae are acceptable. More detailed information can
be found on the City's web site. Click

The City of Dublin announced
that a grant from the Ohio Public Works Commission of
more than 4 million dollars will become available July
1st to help pay for the widening of Emerald Parkway
between Rings Road and Tuttle Crossing. Actual road construction was scheduled to begin in
the spring of 2011, but the project has been delayed.
Current forecasts call for construction to begin this
winter with completion in the fall of 2012.
The
rest of the nearly 8 million dollar project will be paid
for by the City of Dublin ($1.3 million) and the City of
Columbus ($2 million). Sixty per cent of this stretch of
road is in Columbus and 40 per cent is in Dublin. [Click

The project will widen Emerald
to a four-lane boulevard. The road is currently 2 lanes
in some areas, 3 lanes in others. Improvements will
include street lights, medians, curbs, gutters,
sidewalks, a bicycle path and new traffic signals at
Lakehurst Court and Glendon Court.
