Helena Street bridge construction approved
The Dayton City Commission approved a construction contract for completion of a new Helena Street bridge over the Great Miami River, just north of downtown Dayton.
With this contract, the City of Dayton has nearly completed its portion of a major effort to replace 22 bridges in Dayton since 2005. Montgomery County and the Ohio Dept. of Transportation are also building some of the 22 bridges. The city secured federal and state funds to pay for 85 percent of the cost of its bridge projects.
BROOKVILLE
Leaf pick-up begins soon
City crews will soon begin annual curbside leaf pick-up. Leaves are picked up daily, beginning at one end of the city and working completely through all of the streets before starting the route over again.
Please follow these guidelines to ensure your leaves are picked up. Use a blower to get leaves to the street, but consolidate as close to curb as possible. Allow 6 inches from gutters to allow rain to flow to catch basins. Make sure leaves are not under, between or around parked vehicles. Please do not mix yard waste with the leaves. Grass, sticks, brush or spent flowers will clog the vacuum. Don’t blow leaves out into street for them to become your neighbor’s problem. Rake leaves at your convenience, but be patient. One crew can usually make the route in a week or less, and at times two crews may be used.
