Huber Heights announces community events, hydro-flushing program and traffic changes
Summary
City Manager John Russell on July 28 announced community events, operational updates and traffic changes including a shredding event Saturday, National Night Out on Aug. 5, the start of hydro flushing in parts of the city and a planned switch to a four-way stop at Taylorsville and Rustic Woods effective Aug. 29.
City Manager John Russell updated the council July 28 on upcoming community events, public-safety staffing and infrastructure work.
Russell said the city will hold a shredding event Saturday at Thomas Cloud Park and the Rose Music Center from 9 to 11 a.m. He announced National Night Out with the police department on Tuesday, Aug. 5, at Wayne High School and reminded the council that a work session is scheduled for Monday, Aug. 4.
Russell reported the department of police recently swore in Officer Tatiana Poking after she reached certification age and completed the Wright State Lake Campus Police Academy. He also said the city has started hydro flushing operations; the current map shows work between Taylorsville and Chambersburg Road and east to the city limit.
The fire department received a CenterPoint Energy safety grant of $2,500 to buy a rescue kit, including hoisting equipment for vehicle-rescue operations, Russell said. He also announced a food-truck rally Tuesday at Thomas Cloud Park from 4 to 8 p.m. and a "Cups and Conversations" meeting with the mayor on Wednesday, Aug. 6, at 10 a.m. at the Huber Senior Center.
On traffic, Russell said the city will change the intersection at Taylorsville and Rustic Woods from a two-way stop to a four-way stop to improve traffic control and pedestrian crossing access; new signage will be installed starting as soon as the following week and the change will take effect Aug. 29.
Council members asked questions during the report about the origin of a police cadet hire and about the notice strategy for the new stop sign. Russell and other council members described the planned approach of digital signs and flags to notify residents ahead of the change.
