2018 Limb Pick-up Program

The City of Columbia would like to announce that our limb pick-up program is beginning soon. This program has been initiated as a means to dispose of limbs and branches from storm-related events and small pruning projects. Dates for this year are as follows:

April 9th, May 7th, June 4th, July 9th, August 6th, September 4th, October 1st

Program Guidelines

Limbs are to be placed along the curb in front of your property. Do not place in the roadway. This is a curbside pick-up only! We do not pick up in the alleys.
The limb pick-up is limited to City limits only. There will be one pass only in an area. Please have your limbs out and ready for pickup by 7am, on the dates listed above so you won’t be missed. The City reserves the right to refuse pick-up for those properties it considers not fitting within the guidelines of the program.

Acceptable:

Piles that do not exceed a pickup truck size load.
Limbs and branches up to 4″ in diameter
Bushes (without roots)

Not Acceptable:

Piles are not to exceed a pickup truck size load.
Brush from fence-row clearing.
Whole trees, logs and limbs cut by contractor or homeowner.
Branches left from contractor-provided tree removal.
Bushes with roots attached.
Grass clippings, leaves and garden debris.
No alley pickup.

If you have any questions regarding the acceptability of your materials, please contact Kelly Cearbaugh, Street Superintendent at 248-5131 or 238-5115 ext. 2721

Columbia City Aquatic Facility

As the construction continues on the new Russel and Evelyn Fahl Aquatics Center, it is becoming clearer as to where things are going to be located. Currently they have almost completed the masonry work on locker rooms building. The next building they will start is the maintenance building. Around 90% of the pool is poured, along with the walls. The only section left to pour is the zero grade entry portion, and that should be poured during the week of February 12th. Obviously the weather has a lot to do with when the new facility will be opened this summer, but they are trying their best to open sometime in June. For more information you can go to www.columbiacity.net/park-aquatic-facility/. You can also go to twitter at ccaquatics_. Also you can find information on Instagram and Facebook at Columbiacityaquatics.

 

US 30 Update

The Local US 30 Planning Committee now has a concept document available for the public to view. The concept is only an idea, as any future US 30 Project would be designed and financed by the Indiana Department of Transportation. The Committee is thankful to all of the citizens and businesses who contributed to the concept. See the document by clicking here.

Columbia City is a member of the US 30 Coalition. The Coalition meets quarterly to discuss and consider the impact of the highway on the counties and communities on the US 30 corridor. They will also advocate on behalf of our residents and businesses when the project begins. See the Coalition website at: https://www.us30coalition.com/
