Green Space Improvements in 2013 April 6, 2012

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.

The City of Dublin announced
that a grant from the Ohio Public Works Commission of
more than 4 million dollars became available July 1,
2010 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 was delayed. Design took longer
than anticipated, from December 2008-September 2011.
Utility relocation took place in 2011, with construction
now scheduled to begin this spring with completion in
August 2013.
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 roundabouts at
Lakehurst Court and Glendon Court. Previously it
was announced that traffic signals would be placed at
these intersections. The completed project will reduce
traffic congestion, improve safety and drainage and will
add pedestrian and bicycle facilities.
Below is an artist's
rendering of what the intersection of Emerald and
Lakehurst will look like after the roundabout
installation. For a larger image, please click on the
