With the recent time change, it has become dark earlier in the evening and this brings to mind a couple issues for Hubbard residents, which is the topic of visibility.  Please check the area of your front door from the street to verify that you can plainly see your house number.  For safety purposes, the Police and Fire Departments need to read your house number quickly if you need assistance.  If the house number is not easily visible from the street, this will delay the response time, which could be crucial in an emergency.  Again, your house number should be easily visible from the street and generally in the area of the front door.  Large numbers are easy to read and would benefit everyone when an emergency situation occurs.

Also, if you live in a neighborhood without sidewalks and walk your pets in the early morning or evenings, please wear high-visibility or reflective clothing.  Too often I hear stories of residents walking their pets wearing dark clothing and almost being struck by a passing motorist on their way to/from work.  Please walk against traffic so motorists can see you and you can see them approaching as well.

Thanks for your attention to these matters and stay safe!

Myron Street Sidewalks Installation Project

   City of Hubbard, Trumbull County

Project No. TRU-Myron Street Sidewalks (PID: 112614)

The City of Hubbard proposes to install approximately 1,000-feet of new sidewalk on the south side of Myron Street between Main Street (US 62) to in proximity of Stewart Street. New ADA-compliant curb ramps will also be installed at the crossings of Stewart Street and Simler Street, the Eagle Creek Citizen Center, and the southwest quadrant of the Myron Street/State Route 7 intersection.

Construction is scheduled to begin in Summer 2022 and will be completed in Fall 2022. Total project construction cost is $178,100.  During project construction, a minimum of one lane of traffic shall be maintained on Myron Street at all times during active working hours utilizing flaggers.  During active working hours, both lanes of Myron Street shall re-open to traffic. Access shall be maintained to all adjacent properties, residences, businesses and intersecting side streets for the duration of the project.  Construction and lane restriction/reduction information will be posted within the project construction limits prior to the start of project construction. Substantial traffic disruptions are not expected with the project.

To ensure the decision-making process is comprehensive, the City of Hubbard is seeking comments from the public about the social, environmental and economic impacts of this proposed project. Environmental impacts include those involving archeological, architectural and ecological resources, regulated materials and the general location of the project.

The City Transformation Team (CTT) began in 2013 as a group of local clergy serving a variety of needs throughout Hubbard.  The CTT is comprised of some clergy currently serving Hubbard community churches.  The CTT also includes some Hubbard city police and city administration.  CTT chaplains serve our community under the guidance of the City of Hubbard Police Department.  We go on ride-alongs with the city police officers.  We serve with our time, talent and training in care and counsel to and for the Hubbard community as well.

It is our hope that God will use our love for this community and His eternal truth, to transform lives.  The police are skilled and trained to protect citizens from harm, and to curb criminal activity.  When invited into a scenario that involves the police, CTT chaplains walk with those touched by trauma.  We work through the emotional and spiritual issues that may be resources of confusion and risk, in the aftermath of trauma.  We accept and affirm the divine worth of each person as valued citizens of Hubbard.  The CTT is not one primary chaplain for partnering with the Police Department.  As many as 6 chaplains have been part of the CTT on a regular basis.

Perhaps you are interested in finding out more what the CTT is about?  We would like to invite you to a monthly meeting.  We meet the 4th Tuesday in the Conference Room at the Hubbard City Administration Building (220 W. Liberty St.) at 9AM.  Also, if you know of an organization who might benefit from this contact, please copy this letter and hand it out.  If you have any questions, would like to accept this invitation to attend a CTT meeting, or would like to request a chaplain to speak with your organization at your meeting/gathering, please contact: Chap. Dave Garlich at 330-883-3451.

Regards,

The Chaplains of the City Transformation Team — Hubbard, Ohio
