🚧 Camp Street

Our contractor, Erie Blacktop, resurfaced Camp Street this week between Monroe St. and Frantz St.
Striping and other finishing work will be occurring over the coming weeks. Please be extra attentive when traveling down this stretch of Camp Street as there is currently not any striping on the roadway.

In addition to resurfacing, the Camp Street Resurfacing and Reconstruction Paving Project included roadway and sidewalk repairs, as well as new sidewalk curb ramps along Camp from Monroe to Frantz. This project completes the resurfacing of the entire stretch of Camp Street from Washington St. to Perkins Ave, which has taken place piece by piece over the past few years.

Last night, the City Commission recognized five community members for their years of service to Sandusky:

🏅Mark Fogg
🏅Anne McGookey
🏅Jeff Corso
🏅Diane Corso
🏅John Schlessman

Together, they’ve coached youth sports, supported children’s literacy, helped run community events, cleaned up and planted at Facer Park, and served on local boards, committees, and church and charitable organizations.

Commissioner Dave Waddington created the Volunteer of the Year Awards in 2021 to celebrate residents who volunteer their time to serve the Sandusky community. We are grateful for all of the volunteers who help make our city a better place.

October is Fire Prevention Month, and this year's theme from the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) is "Charge Into Fire Safety. Safe Charging Is a Superpower."

The campaign focuses on reducing the risk of fires caused by lithium-ion batteries found in everyday devices such as phones, laptops, e-bikes, scooters, and power tools.

Simple steps can make a big difference: use manufacturer-approved chargers, charge devices on hard surfaces, unplug devices when fully charged, and stop using batteries that become hot, swollen, leak, or make unusual sounds.

Download the tip sheet for more battery charging safety information and help keep your home and family safe this Fire Prevention Month: https://content.nfpa.org/-/media/project/storefront/catalog/files/fire-prevention-week/2026/fpw26_tip-sheet.pdf?rev=08b80404f6f449ba875812fb07649cfa
