Questions & Answers

3. What would you do to diminish negative environmental impacts of the Eastern Corridor project and protect the designation of the Little Miami as a National Wild and Scenic River? (100 word limit)

This question assumes that there will be negative impact. My impression is that the preliminary design mitigates any such impact in so far as possible. I have no reason to think that the scenic river designation is at risk. I believe the federal agencies responsible for studying this project will investigate thoroughly

4. What would you do to improve communications between the Township and its residents? (100 word limit)

I think the quarterly newsletter published by the township and our Public Forum at televised Trustees' meetings now facilitate good communications. We also conduct yearly surveys of residents to get their input on township topics to gain directions and priorities.

5. Should trustees take a role in encouraging the use of the existing bus line and the development of new public transportation options? (100 word limit)

We take a substantial role in transportation as witnessed by the new Park and Ride Transportation Center at Anderson Towne Center. We also advertise the OKI rideshare program, work closely with the Metro System to promote bus service, and are continuing to build sidewalks and trails to become a multi-modal community

6. How can the remaining Greenspace Fund best be spent? (100 word limit)

We will have to see what purchase opportunities present themselves. Our advisory committee continues to look at appropriate purchases and also encourages contributions of greenspace parcels.
