Bexley Achieves High Mark Among Small Towns, Cities Print E-mail

Bexley News, February 10, 2010 Volume 25, No. 44, written by Laura Englehart

"Bexley received a five-star rating in the annual statistical handbook America's Top-Rated Small Towns & Cities, released this year.  The two-volume book pulls together profiles of 8,908 places in the United States with populations between 3,000 and 25,000.  It lists statistical details such as population, income, housing and education, among others."

"Only 40 of 331 places in Ohio, including Bexley, are rated with five starts in the edition.  The book shows Bexley ranks highest when compared to other places in education.  About 97 percent of residents have earned a high school diploma, the 11th highest of 331 Ohio places profiled.  Two-thirds of residents have a bachelor's degree or higher, and 31.8 percent of residents have a master's degree or higher.  The city's student-teacher ratio is 14.8:1, which put it at 206 of 233 where the higher the ranking number, the better. "

     I hope everyone has a happy and healthly 2010!  I would like to thank everybody for your patience during our recently completed street projects.  I know Sheridan, Francis and N. Merkle residents were really affected.  We will back next spring to finish our massive sidewalk repairs program, finishing central Bexley and heading south.

     A friendly reminder that all cars parked on our streets are only allowed to park for 24 hours.  Any cars that are being left for several days are subject to towing.  Many neighbors have pointed out cars that are being left for weeks at a time.  Please help us remedy this situation.  We intend to enforce this policy. 

     Please call our police department to report any incidents or events that may seem out of place.  We have had several arrests recently as a result of observant residents who assisted us by alerting the police department.  Our "Block Watch" program is growing and it might be something for your neighborhood to consider.

     The new police facility located at 559 N. Cassingham is now up and running.  We hope to have a "grand opening" after the weather breaks.  Please look for any announcements in your local papers. 

     Some dates to keep in mind:  *  Spring Break - March 22 - 26

                                               *  Memorial Day - Monday, May 31st

                                               *  July 4th - Will be celebrated on Monday, July 5th

                                               *  Labor Day Block Party - Sunday, September 5th

                                               *  Trick or Treat night - October 28th

These dates will help you in your long-range planning for 2010.

     Rumpke continues to be our trash and recycling provider with the usual Monday pick up.  They were to provide all residents with a newsletter reintroducing themselves and the services they provide.  Please take a look and try to follow their guidelines.
