Maingate is Putting the Smackdown on Spray-Ups

Thanks to the help of the Ohio Department of Transportation facilities crew, Maingate successfully had numerous areas marked with graffiti covered up at the northeastern tip of our service area. After several attempts and years of continuous efforts to have the the markups removed, Maingate staff finally made it happen. It was all in a day's work for the crew who came out in August and painted over the nuisance handy work of local tag artists.

Maingate collaborated with ODOT, District 12 and effectively removed graffiti on multiple support beams and bridges in our business membership area.  It was clearly evident the most noticeable areas of graffiti were on or under interstate bridges controlled by the Ohio Department of Transportation and to the credit of ODOT, District 12, the targeted areas of graffiti were painted over within one week of being made aware of the visual blight.

Through this collaborative effort between Maingate and the Ohio Department of Transportation we can deliver an anti-graffiti message to business owners and the public.

A special thanks to ODOT District 12!
