O-o-p-s! As observed in yesterday’s post about the Monday evening council meeting, a Fairview Avenue resident said “he woke up one day, and the street he lives on had been changed from an Avenue to a Street.” Seems hardly anyone or any organization was made aware of that change. The United States Postal Service, too, recognizes that thoroughfare as “Fairview Avenue.” The street sign just appeared one day; now it’s time to correct the sign to read “Fairview Avenue.”

Poo bags! One of the councillors and the mayor talked about the benefits of having “doggie poo bags” available around town for those “less-than-responsible” dog owners who walk their dogs with no thought of cleaning up after their pets. Customers who stop at Rita’s Italian Ice just outside Mountville are offered bags for their pooches. The mayor stated that the Columbia Police Department has been finding some Columbia dog owners helpful in contributing to the Borough’s coffers when the dog owners dispute a police officer’s observation that dogs must display a license and rabies tag and a means (poo bag) to clean up after their dogs.

Improvement at the gateway to River Park! The entrance road’s to the River Park and the Columbia Water Company’s facility’s been macadamed. Just guessing the water company chipped in to help pay for this?
