The Columbia Gas North Columbus High Pressure project has caused significant damage to the roads, curbs, tree lawns, trees, sidewalks, and personal property of Tulane Road residents. By the time of its completion, residents will have endured a year of disruption and inconvenience, and experienced millions of dollars worth of damage to city infrastructure and personal property. Some of the damage, such as to 100 year old sandstone curbs and decades old trees cannot be repaired or replaced. This impacts our quality of life and changes our community in dramatic ways.

In light of this impact, we request that Columbia Gas and its contracted partners complete a full restoration of the street, curbs, tree lawns, trees, sidewalks, and personal property. The permitted requirement for the bare minimum of restoration is insufficient and would leave our street with a hodgepodge of curbs, inconsistent sidewalks, and only partial replacement of the road. This is not in line with the aesthetic and standard of our community and would leave our street in a worse condition than before the project started.

We are requesting resurfacing of the entire road, all new curbs and sidewalks on both sides of the street, restored tree lawns, and new trees where larger and older trees cannot be saved.

Please consider these signatures from residents, neighbors, and frequent pedestrians of Tulane Road.
