Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Upper Arlington public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Five Points Intersection Roundabout
The city is moving toward a 194-210 foot multi-lane roundabout at Tremont/Northwest/Fishinger, backed by 55% of survey respondents. Construction is set for 2028, maybe 2029, with driveway changes coming for nearby businesses and education campaigns planned for drivers wary of roundabouts.
Zollinger Road Improvements and MORPC Funding
Council's support locks in roughly $3.3 million in federal grant money for a full-length Zollinger Road resurfacing that converts four lanes to one each direction with parking/bike options. Construction is planned next year.
2026 Street, Waterline and Stormwater Construction Contracts
Council locked in three contracts for this year's paving, waterline replacement (Beverly, Zollinger and Leer roads), and stormwater work. Expect construction activity and possible timing pressure on the grant-funded Zollinger Road improvements.
