Columbia Tusculum News
(posted >11/21/01)
The Columbia Tusculum Community Council received a letter from
the mayor's office in response to a letter we sent regarding
the runway strengthening. We had raised concerns over the lack
of community input into the process. In response, the mayor
indicated that his administration is intent on increasing the
rated runway strength to 120,000 pounds, and it seems that they
are not interested in hearing input from the community or the
Lunken Airport Oversite and Advisory Board, which was set up
last year to provide just such input to City Council. A PDF
of the letter can be found here.
As a reminder, we will be hosting a Town Hall Meeting on airport
issues on Tuesday, November 27 at 7pm at the Carnegie Center
of Columbia Tusculum (3738 Eastern Ave.). Please come with questions
prepared.
UPDATE: The CTCC Steering Committee has communicated with the
Mayor's office (11/27/2001) and has received an update on the
mayor's position, which includes a retraction of the previous
letter and an indication that the Mayor is committed to listening
to community input before moving forward with increased service
at Lunken.

The 2001 Historic Homes Tour was a great success, raising
approximately $6000 for the community. The day started out
bleakly, with cold rain falling in the morning. However, the
rain stopped at about 12:30 and by 1:30 the clouds had parted
and the sky was a beautiful blue. Over 550 people attended
the tour, and all who attended enjoyed the beautiful homes,
the art exhibit, and the restoration fair.
Special thanks to all of the volunteers and musicians who
worked on the tour, both planning and the day of the event.
