City Council — August 3, 2026
Property owners in the 2025 sidewalk program are being assessed for up to half of repair costs, and residents showed up questioning billing amounts — one was billed nearly $3,000 for work staff valued at about $500. The city paused the hearing a month earlier after finding cost errors, re-verified over 300 parcels, and adopted both ordinances anyway, with promises of clearer bills.
City Council — April 27, 2026
Contracts with Decker Construction for the sidewalk lookback program and street/sidewalk maintenance are moving through Council — meaning repairs coming to neighborhood sidewalks and streets this year.
Committee of the Whole — April 6, 2026
The city is set to hire Decker Construction for roughly $2 million of sidewalk repair and street/sidewalk maintenance work after the original low bidder was disqualified for missing financial paperwork and lacking experience. Sidewalks get fixed under the lookback program, and overall street upkeep continues.
Property Appeals Board — February 17, 2026
Three homeowners were scheduled to appeal sidewalk maintenance requirements under Gahanna Code Section 903.4, pitting property owners against city-mandated sidewalk repair obligations. Each case got its own public hearing before the board.
