HOMETOWN GUIDE - FALL 2020 - City of Sharonville
Message from the Mayor
As I write this, kids around Sharonville are starting back into the school year. It is a unique start of the year for our city’s
families as has been much through the Spring and Summer of 2020 for all of us. Our City is home to Sharonville Elementary,
Stewart Elementary, Princeton Community Middle School, Princeton High School, the administrative offices of the Princeton
City School District, St. Michael’s School, and several preschool and kindergartens, like Park Montessori School and
Sharonville United Methodist PreSchool. I want to commend all the teachers and administrators of these institutions for
their continuing efforts to provide education and support for our city’s students while taking action to protect the health and safety of the entire
community. As the City has experienced through the opening of our pool, recreation facilities, and tax department over the summer, this is no
easy task in this “time of strange” (I’m stealing that reference from a friend - I think it very appropriately sums up what we are all dealing with
living through this pandemic).

And while Fall arrives with this continued gradual reopening, we continue to do so around Sharonville. In the coming months, I am excited to
share with you the completion of two significant projects that will transform the services that are provided to you, our residents and business
community. Soon, we will open our new Police Station headquarters near the corner of Kemper Road and State Route 42. This new facility will
truly allow our department to shine and continue its strong tradition of providing contemporary policing for our community. Fire Department
Station 87 at the corner of Main and Cornell in our downtown is nearing the completion of its renovation. If you’ve driven by, it’s hard to miss
with its new bright red exterior. The men and women of the Sharonville Fire Department who serve out of this station will finally have a facility
that is equal to the professional services that our department provides while honoring the traditions of the volunteers who so capably served
the City in the past. As the doors to these new buildings open, I hope that you will take the opportunity to celebrate with me their grand
opening and see what the facilities have to offer for our city’s employees and you.

And while the City hasn’t stopped completing projects during this “time of strange,” neither have our private partners throughout the City. Third
Eye Brewery opened its doors to customers along Chester Road. With a large open taproom and considerable outdoor patio space, Third Eye
has been serving up fine beers, hand-crafted beverages, and a delectable food menu for the last several months in the Northern Lights District.
Just next door, the Delta Hotel is moments away from welcoming its first guests to the full-service Marriott hotel experience complete with a
Starbucks and bourbon bar just off its grand, new entrance lobby. And the Sharonville Food Train keeps chugging along. Hopefully, you have
found a way to continue to support these small restaurant businesses throughout Sharonville during these difficult times.

I continue to wish all of you good health and best wishes as you navigate the strangeness of this time. The City of Sharonville remains committed
to providing you the level and standard of service you’ve come to expect of your City. Like me, I want all of you to be proud to live, work and play
in this great place.
                                                                          Kevin M. Hardman
What is the Level of Force Used by the Sharonville Police Department?
The Sharonville Police Department has long been committed to providing the most professional police
services possible. As our mission statement states, we pride ourselves in serving the community with
purpose.

Given the recent attention regarding police use of force and the important discussions taking place
nationally, we thought we would once again share our Use of Force data , to include the 2019 update.
In years 2016 through 2019, the Sharonville Police Department arrested 2,375 individuals. Of the 2,375
arrests, there have been a total of 103 that involved use of force, or 4.3% of those arrested. There have been no complaints against a Sharonville
Police Officer for excessive use of force.

The Sharonville Police Department is certified with the Ohio Collaborative Community-Police Advisory Board as well as being a Lexipol agency.

Sharonville Bike Trail Feasibility Study: Connecting Downtown, People, and Parks

The City of Sharonville was awarded a Community Development
Block Grant planning mini-grant in the amount of $10,000 from
Hamilton County Planning + Development to prepare the Sharonville
Bike Trail Feasibility Study: Connecting Downtown, People, and Parks.
This study will create a conceptual plan to evaluate and determine
which trail or trails can be easily, affordably, or successfully
implemented for the benefit of Sharonville residents.

This project will expand off Phase II of the City of Sharonville
Downtown Loop Streetscape Master Plan (adopted June 2020)
which is shown below. The study will help visualize 3 to 5 potential
route options through the Sharonville Downtown Loop which
could expand or create connections for Sharonville residents to
Sharon Creek (located west of the Downtown Loop), Sharon Woods,
Sharonville Elementary, or along Creek Road towards Gower Park,
the Sharonville Community Center and Sharonville Branch Public
Library.

This study will also directly support the Sharonville 2030
Comprehensive Plan Theme #3, to Improve Connectivity throughout
the City. The current trail options Hamilton County is considering to
evaluate for the City are indicated on the map to the right.

If you would like to play a more active role, have a question, would
like more detailed information, or would like to share a suggestion
on a potential trail option near the Sharonville Downtown
Loop please contact the City Planner by emailing sdircks@
cityofsharonville.com or calling the office.

What Our Staff is Doing to Combat COVID
Our department is currently operating under strict guidelines from the Ohio Department of Health and Governor
DeWine. Facial coverings are currently required at our facility for all who are entering, exiting, and proceeding to or
from their intended activity, as well as in all common areas. Once you have reached your activity, face coverings may
be removed unless otherwise noted.

Everyone entering the Community Center will be temperature scanned at the door as well as asked if they currently
have any possible symptoms of COVID-19. Any individuals with a temperature over 100.4 degrees will not be permitted
into the facility. After a successful scan, please visit the front desk to scan your membership card.

During our 15-minute facility closures, our team has a rigid cleaning schedule that includes disinfecting the front
desk & lobby area, fitness center, track, restrooms, and other high touch areas throughout the building. We use CDC
approved cleaners for each application.

Hand sanitizer is readily available in all areas of the facility. We ask everyone who enters to practice good hygiene and
to stay at home if you are not feeling well.
