The Springdale Public WorksDepartment is once again gearing up forits annual leaf collection program, whichbegins when leaves start to pile up(typically during the second or third week ofOctober). Collection starts on the westside of State Route 4 and alternatesweekly to the City’s east side.

Due to the overwhelming volume ofleaves, occasionally crews fall behindand are unable to collect all the leavesfor an entire half of the City in any givenweek. When this occurs, crews willfinish one side of the City before movingto the other side. The 2013 seasonalprogram will end on Friday, November29. After that date, residents should bagtheir remaining leaves for curbside pick-up with their regular household trash.

The cutoff at the end of November isneeded in the event of an early snowfall. If this occurs, leaf collection isalmost impossible to accomplish.Unfortunately this was the experience in2010, when portions of the City did notreceive their final collection untilFebruary of the following year.

It’s important to note that leaves shouldnot be placed in the street since that canobstruct stormwater flows. Instead,leaves should be placed behind the curb,but not blocking sidewalks or coveringfire hydrants. Leaves must be free ofdebris, such as litter, trash, limbs andbranches. Because these items cannot becollected with the leaves, pilescontaining such debris will be left untilthis material has been removed. Limbs

and branches which are stacked in aseparate pile will continue to becollected by the City on the normalchipper schedule.

Crews prepare for fall leaf pick-up

Tri-County Mall, Springdale’s singlelargest retail facility and one ofCincinnati’s oldest shopping centers,has been in the newsin recent monthsdue to a financialsituation thatinitiated aforeclosure action.Thanks to a recentchange inownership, the Mallwill not only remainopen for business,but also undergo arevitalization.

Here’s the latestinformationregarding the landmark Tri-CountyMall:

Financial problems began when theprevious owners of the mall ceasedmaking mortgage payments. As aresult, a receiver was appointed by thecourt last fall to represent the bank(s)that financed the business.

In June, to protect their investment,those with financial interests contractedto sell the note (at a discounted amount) toa new creditor called Tri-County MallInvestors, LLC, a New York real estateinvestment fund.

In order to secure a clear title to theproperty, the new creditor mustforeclose on the property by way of a

Sheriff Salescheduled for July18, at which timethey become thenew owner of Tri-County Mall.

This group hasindicated theyhave plans torevitalize andreposition theMall in the ever-changing retailmarket. While thespecific

repositioning plans have not beenpresented to the City, conversationswith the new owner suggest they willseek to add “life-style” tenants andfeatures to the Mall. Such changesshould increase the appeal for both newtenants and new customers. It is likelythe changes may include more andlarger specialty stores and restaurantswith the new trend of direct shopperaccess to stores from parking areas. It isknown that their strategic repositioningplans for Tri-County Mall will include amajor marketing and promotioncampaign slated to begin late thissummer.

New code requiresCarbon monoxidedetectorsCarbon monoxide (CO) is an odorless,colorless gas that can build up todangerous concentrations indoors whenfuel-burning devices are not properlyvented, operated, or maintained, orwhen a vehicle is operated in a garage.It is estimated that unintentional COexposure accounts for an estimated 500deaths in the United States each year. Inaddition, the US Consumer ProductSafety Commission estimates that 8,000to 15,000 people each year are examinedor treated in hospitals for non-firerelated CO poisoning.

In order to protect the occupants of eachhome from such hazards, theResidential Code of Ohio now requiresCO detectors to be installed in new one,two and three-family dwellings as wellas in additions to the home. The codealso requires that CO detectors be addedwhenever interior alterations occur inthe residence, or whenever a fuel-firedfurnace, water heater, fireplace orwoodstove is installed or replaced. TheCO detectors are required to be installedoutside of each bedroom area. Questions about these requirements can be directed to theSpringdale Building Department at 346-5730 orbuilding@springdale.org.
