A Village Official has questioned the role and content of the Mariemont.com website. Mariemont.com is an independent Village asset with a posting of the social organizations, historical foundation, community calendar, business directory, an electronic version of theTownCryer and Mayor’s Bulletins, and links to the school, public library, government activities and many more resources that have relevance to living in Mariemont. Indeed, Mariemont.com has been crafted as a one-stop shop for information about Mariemont.
Mariemont.com has a blog that offers a forum for the interactive exchange of information and ideas. Anyone in the Village of Mariemont is welcome to post timely information and ideas on the site as well as contribute comments to other posts. Blogs add transparency and access to a variety of viewpoints which do not necessarily represent the views or beliefs of any of Mariemont.com’s Editorial Staff.
With regard to the South 80, there has been only one post in reference to State route 32. This post supported the south 80 and we repost this article from December 2012 to show our support.
The Mariemont Community Planning Council (CPC) has started the petition “Ohio Department of Transportation: Do Not Relocate State Route 32 Through Mariemont or its South 80 Park” and need your help to get it off the ground.
Will you take 30 seconds to sign it right now? Here’s the link:
Here’s why it’s important:
Mariemont opposes this route for the following reasons;
-Destabilization of nearby hillsides
-Possible loss of National Historic Landmark Designation
-Destruction of Native American Archeological Site
-Negative environmental impact on Park and nature area
-Flawed analysis of alternative routes
-Significant reduction in Mariemont Park space
-Increased air, noise, and water pollution to people of Mariemont
-Non conformance with land use guidlelines
Public meeting on January 22 at Mariemont Elementary; 6-8 pm. Public funds being wasted continuing to pursue this option for Route 32 relocation. Please come to meeting.
