The Neighborhood Pride program is celebrating 13 years during the 2012 season, with a continued aim on bringing attention to various neighborhoods throughout Columbus. These neighborhoods will see year-long efforts focused on engaging residents, business owners and volunteers to beautify and strengthen these communities. That includes street sweeping, pothole repair, community events, bike rides and other programs.
“I want to thank all the neighborhoods who have asked to be part of this great program and the great residents and city employees who make it successful,” says Columbus Mayor Michael Coleman. “This is our bicentennial, and it is going to be a particularly great year for Neighborhood Pride.”
The following neighborhoods are the focus of the Neighborhood Pride program in 2012:
- Willis Park – Located on the far east side adjacent to Big Walnut Park.
- Cross Creek – Located on the far west side, just south of Hilliard.
- Sharon Heights – Located on the north side, between Beechwold and Worthington.
- Marion Franklin – Located on the southeast side, just north of Obetz.
More information about Neighborhood Pride can be found online at development.columbus.gov/pride/.
I am glad Sharon Heights is getting some love. I think most people call it Graceland or (if you are a realtor) Clintonville. Quiet, inexpensive area with a growing ethnic population. I have friends who have settled up there and like it. Great area for a low cost, safe, residential home.
@mrpoppinz Word. It is a great and affordable neighborhood. Great close-by food from Villa Nova, Acropolis Gyro, and Merilion (not the band but the new noodle place up there) too. Sharon Meadows Park is nearby and the bike path is accessible now with the new bridge at the end of BroadMeadows Blvd. For those with families and concerned about such things, portions of the area, especially those in Township land are Worthington schools areas.
