City Announces Summer Paving Project It’s how we get to our homes, our businesses, our schools. The City of Pickerington recognizes that maintaining roads is critical to the success of the community and leaders have committed to an annual paving program that, to date, has meant nearly $10 million in improvements. The summer of 2020 will add to that total. “This is the sixth consecutive year city council has committed more than $1 million to pave streets,” says City Manager Greg Butcher. “We view the continued maintenance of our streets as critical to the City’s mission.” Butcher expects the work to begin in June and last for approximately a month. Below is a list of Pickerington streets slated for asphalt resurfacing: • Violet Drive West • Meadow Drive • Lorraine Drive • Kaye Drive • Willow Run Drive
• Long Road • Lakeview Drive • Northern Avenue • Windmiller Drive • Hereford Drive
• Valley Lane • Ra-Mar Drive • Morning View Avenue • Pickering Drive • Lakeland Place
• Pickerington Hills Drive • Hilltop Place • Sycamore Drive • Shadybrook Drive • Skyline Drive
Pickerington Police Officers Revive Residents Three Pickerington Police officers recently received commendations from Police Chief Tod Cheney after their quickthinking actions and training saved the lives of two people. When Sergeant Jeremy Vacca, Officer Mercedes Gavins and Officer Joshua Moore responded to a resident call, they arrived and discovered the owner was unresponsive. The officers began CPR and AED treatment for several minutes while awaiting arrival of the medics. The officers were successful in getting the resident’s 8
heart to start again and they were breathing before medics arrived. Just weeks earlier, Vacca and Moore had revived another person who was not breathing and had no pulse. “It was an excellent response by the officers that included them wearing the appropriate protective gear for COVID-19 prevention during CPR,” Cheney says. Job well done, PPD officers.
