Pet Policy… Check Your Detector! Also, test your detector on a regular basis, once a month is recommended. Keep a spare battery to replace the current when it no longer works. It also helps to keep your smoke detector clean. In many instances, dust can be enough to cause your alarm to malfunction. A light brushing with a soft vacuum attachment will generally take care of this.

The city’s Division of Power and Water has contracted with Complete General Construction to install the new street lights. The project is expected to cost $762,000. The construction will require temporary parking restrictions on affected streets. Parked vehicles not complying with the parking restrictions will be towed to a lot located at the northeast corner of High Street and East Eighth Avenue. The vehicles may be recovered without charge. For further information on vehicle recovery, owners may call (614) 448-3497. The new lighting system will be installed in an area bounded by East 12th Avenue on the south, East Woodruff Avenue on the north, High Street on the west and Summit Street on the east. The first phase of the work will replace street lights on East 12th, East 13th, East 14th and East 15th avenues. The whole project is scheduled to be completed by early April 2008. Signs denoting the temporary parking restrictions will be posted on the affected streets. Flyers about the construction work are being distributed door-to-door in the area. In addition, the university is distributing information to students through electronic mail messages. Ohio State’s Undergraduate Student Government called attention to the need for improved street lighting after its members conducted a survey in 2003-04 which found a number of burned out lights, as well as situations in which lights on a whole street were off. The University Community Business Association (UCBA) and Campus Partners joined with USG to meet with officials from the city’s Division of Power and Water about the survey. As a result, burned out bulbs were replaced and overgrown foliage was trimmed. The city officials acknowledged, however, that the street lighting system was antiquated with periodic circuit breaks that would black out a whole street. In the spring of 2006, USG submitted an application to the city for an allocation of money from the city’s Urban Infrastructure Recovery Fund to replace the street lighting system. That application also had the support of the university, University Area Commission, UCBA and Campus Partners. In visiting the University District one night in the fall of 2006, Mayor Michael Coleman noted the dark streets and promised to support replacement of the lights. Planning on the lighting project moved forward quickly. Mayor Coleman joined Kate Christobek, president of USG, and other university and community leaders on July 11, 2007, in a ground-breaking ceremony for the project.

The Ohio State University is continually working to ensure that its students, faculty, staff, and visitors are in the safest environment possible. It is for this reason that The Ohio State University has created a text message alert system for the public to stay informed of potential emergencies. Emergency personnel are continually planning for an emergency response. By signing up for the emergency notification system, you can become involved in the planning process. The text message emergency notification system will allow phone lines to remain open for first responders and 9-1-1 callers. The emergency personnel will know that the public is informed and can focus on the situation. Text message warnings will allow you to learn of emergency situations as soon as possible no matter where you are located. All you need is to have your cell phone. In order to make sure the system is working properly in the event of an emergency, the system will be tested once or twice a year. During a test, subscribers will receive a test message. Besides the testing, you will only receive messages in the event of an emergency. You will not receive advertising or non-emergency messages. The Ohio State University will maintain your information with the utmost security. They will not sell your information and will only use it for emergency notification. If an emergency situation should occur, text messages will be sent out with information of the situation and instructions to help protect you. This system will only be activated in the event of a true emergency. It will be activated if a situation occurs or is imminent that has the potential of placing the safety and security of the entire campus community at risk. This will not be used as an early warning system for potentially severe weather or for notification of campus events. It will only be used when public safety and campus officials have determined that the campus community must take immediate action to remain safe and secure. There is no cost to sign up for the text message service. Although there may be costs involved with receiving text messages depending on the service plan you have with your wireless provider. Please check your wireless plan to determine whether or not you will be charged for text message services. The Ohio State University is not responsible for any costs involved with your cellular service plan or cellular provider. Please visit www.buckeyealert.osu.edu for more information and to sign up for this valuable service.
