You’re invited to see the transformation of the RecPlex gym

 

ANDERSON TOWNSHIP, HAMILTON COUNTY, OH (FOX19) - The Anderson Township Park District is inviting everyone to come play at the Open House at the Beech Acres Park RecPlex where the new gym floor has been completed.

The gym will be on display Wednesday, May 23, 2012 from  6 - 8 p.m. at 6915 Beechmont Avenue.  Pets (except service animals) are not permitted in the building.  It’s a rare chance to check out the facility, since it is normally reserved by various groups.

The gym was closed late last year during the process of adding a new floor on top of the existing one, when tests indicated mercury vapor coming out of the old floor, a result of the way gym floors were installed decades ago. Though the level was not high enough to violate federal standards, the gym was closed to be on the safe side, and the old floor was completely removed instead of having the new floor installed on top of it.

Inbound Columbia Parkway down to one lane for Friday rush hour

 

CINCINNATI (FOX19) - The westbound curb lanes of Columbia Parkway between Martin Drive and the Third St./Fort Washington Way exit ramp are closed and will remain closed for morning rush hour on Friday. 

As crews were cleaning up and ready to open Columbia Parkway after removing an unstable portion of the hillside that began moving earlier this week, the remaining hillside also began moving.  Engineers decided for the safety of the traveling public to put the lane closure back in place until the hillside can be stabilized again.  Crews will mobilize early Friday and begin work on removing the remaining unstable dirt.

Columbia Parkway is reduced down to one lane, between Martin Street and the Third Street exit.  All exit and entrance ramps will remain open at all times.  Drivers are encouraged to reduce their speed and use caution when approaching the closure area.
