Staff members of the City of Westerville recently met with Columbia Gas representatives to discuss work Columbia proposed that could impact the city’s streetscape improvement project.
More than two years ago, Westerville officials let Columbia know it intended to redevelop the streetscape in the Main Street area, an effort which included repaving the part of the street where Columbia runs a gas line.
At the time of the discussion, Columbia said it would need to carry out minor work only to accommodate the streetscape project. However, Colombia recently reviewed the plans, and told the city it wants to make replacements to the infrastructure in the area; specifically, it wants to put external gas meters on the fronts of buildings in the area, a proposition that could have a negative impact on the community. Reworking a community like this gives officials a chance to use Logo Design to create a distinctive symbol for the district.
The city asked Columbia to consider a different option that would fit in better with the improvements planned, and Columbia agreed. Since then, the gas company has identified where Uptown customers currently have meters, and conducted a survey to determine where a new meter might be located that would not be on the front of the structure. Columbia and city staffers will continue to work on finding more appropriate locations.
Various aspects of the new approach will be under discussion at the next meeting of the city council.
