~ The City of Columbus' Clean and Safe Corridor initiative has successfully completed its second activation in the Hilltop neighborhood, addressing pressing concerns and promoting safety and economic prosperity. The program, which lasted for two weeks, involved concentrated efforts from various departments of the city to improve public safety and enhance the quality of life along key business corridors.
Mayor Andrew J. Ginther expressed his satisfaction with the results, stating that the city is continuously working with Hilltop residents to transform the neighborhood into a safer and more vibrant community. He also emphasized that this mission is achieved through various initiatives such as supporting local businesses, recovering illegal firearms, planting trees, and improving crosswalks.
The program was informed by community input and 311 requests, which led to a strike-force of city resources being deployed along Sullivant Avenue between Central and Hague avenues from April 21 to May 5. In addition, the Columbus Division of Police executed an Operation Unity mission in Zone 3 on April 30, which includes the Sullivant Avenue commercial corridor.

The outcomes of this program include significant improvements in safety as seen in the results of Operation Unity on April 30. These include 69 on-view arrests (meaning arrests made by police officers who personally observed a crime being committed), with 41 being felony arrests and 28 being misdemeanor arrests. Other notable results include the recovery of stolen vehicles and firearms, as well as confiscation of illegal drugs.
Moreover, during law enforcement activities on Sullivant Avenue between April 21-27, there were 21 felony arrests and 24 misdemeanor arrests made. Additionally, there were also several wanted person arrests, soliciting arrests, stolen vehicles recovered, firearms recovered, drug seizures, search warrants executed, nuisance abatement group inspections conducted, traffic citations issued and parking citations issued.
Aside from addressing safety concerns through law enforcement activities, the Clean and Safe Corridor initiative also focused on cleanliness and beautification efforts. During the two-week program, 17.82 tons of litter and bulk refuse, 1.4 tons of trash, and 14 tires were collected. Furthermore, there were also potholes patched, ADA ramps cleaned, signs replaced, and trees planted and pruned.

Property inspections were also conducted during the program, with a total of 327 building inspections and 55 friendly code enforcement letters issued to inform building owners on how to bring their properties up to code compliance. In addition, the city also provided support for small businesses in the area by conducting surveys to understand safety perceptions and concerns and holding office hours at the Columbus Metropolitan Library Hilltop branch to consult with business owners and share available funding and support resources.
The services provided during the Clean and Safe Corridor activation are valued at over $101,000 in labor and $41,000 in materials and equipment. This initiative will continue in 2025 along four commercial corridors: Parsons Avenue on the South Side, Sullivant Avenue in the Hilltop, Livingston Avenue in Driving Park, and High Street in the Short North. By focusing resources on each corridor individually, this initiative aims to provide targeted improvements tailored to each area's specific challenges and opportunities.
