Teen Volunteer Program

A popular New Year’s resolution is giving back to the community, but getting started, especially as a youth, can be difficult.

Through V.I.P., the Volunteer Involvement Program, Grove City Parks and Recreation offers an initiative for students in grades seven through 12 that matches them with volunteer opportunities.

In addition to gaining the positive feelings that come with helping others, youth build interpersonal skills while earning service hours required for graduation and scholarships. The hours are conveniently tracked through the program.

To stay active, volunteers must complete a minimum of 10 hours per year and adhere to the code of conduct.

Registered participants are sent opportunities to volunteer via email and can choose whether to sign up based on their schedules and interests. These opportunities include special events including EcoFest, the Garden at Gantz Plant Sale and more.

Public Service Department

2025 Projects

The Public Service Department works to maintain and improve the infrastructure that keeps Grove City flowing smoothly. Several road projects are ongoing or scheduled to begin in 2025.

Winter 2025

• Columbus Street: upgrade of sanitary sewers and storm relief followed by resurfacing of the roadway and new curbs and sidewalks (see page 12 of Discover Grove City for a detailed story).

Spring 2025

• Pinnacle Quarry development access: widening of White Road and Jackson Pike including turn lanes.

• Jackson Pike and Hawthorne Parkway: addition of a traffic signal and shared-use path.

Summer 2025

• North Meadows Drive: realign to facilitate future installation of infrastructure.

• Hoover Road bridge over I-71: reconfigure with a shared-use path for more pedestrian/bicycle friendly access across the highway.

To stay current on construction projects and road closures: visit bit.ly/GCTrafficUpdates

See page 11 of The Source for updates on projects in the parks.

Public Service Department Building Replacement

The service complex recently expanded its ability to protect expensive assets and provide efficient services with the completion of a new building.

Built on the site of an outdated building, it more than doubles the usable space on a slightly larger footprint (6,000 to 15,000 square feet).

The structure includes truck bays large enough to accommodate all vehicles and equipment, a vehicle wash bay, a sign shop and an elevated storage area as well as meeting space and restrooms for staff.

Plan Ahead for Super Bowl LIV

Super Bowl Sunday is the biggest game-day celebration of the year!

If you plan to drink, also plan to not drive. Follow these tips to keep Grove City safe:

• Be responsible. Always arrange a sober ride home if you have been drinking.

• Plan ahead. Choose a designated driver who will not be drinking.

• Help others. If someone you know has been drinking, don’t let them get behind the wheel.

• Call a taxi, a ride share service like Uber or Lyft, or a sober friend.

Safe Driving – Road Safety Starts with Us, Grove City

Protect pedestrians: follow speed limits. Safer speeds can save lives and reduce risk of pedestrian injury and death. According to the National Highway Safety Administration, risk to pedestrians of severe injury and death increases with speed.

Car Thefts: Warm-up Risk

Don’t be a victim of warm-up thefts! While it is tempting to start your car early during the winter months, we urge you to think twice before leaving your car running unattended. Car thieves are on the lookout for these vehicles!

• Cold weather means more people start their vehicles with remote starters or keys and let them warm up before driving.

• Think ahead! Thieves know this and travel through neighborhoods looking for easy work. Don’t leave your car unattended!

• Unattended running vehicles are also dangerous for curious children.

• To view the City ordinance on unattended vehicles, visit bit.ly/GCCode351_07
