To begin the September 3 City Council meeting, Mayor Daniel J. Rickenmann and City Council approved the honorary naming of the intersection of the 1200 block of Blanding Street and the 1600 block of Main Street and the intersection of the 1200 block of Blanding Street and 1600 block of Sumter Street as Villa Tronco Way.
Following the honorary naming, Tiffany Latimer, director of customer services, helped announce the launch of the MyCOLASC application to assist our customers and residents in the City of Columbia. The application is now available to download on Apple and Android devices.
MyCOLASC is an exciting new service request platform for the City of Columbia. This useful, free app empowers residents and visitors to report non-emergency issues to city staff and then track request status online from submission to resolution.
Designed to improve communication and service delivery, while making our community a better place, MyCOLASC allows citizens to use mobile phones or computers to pinpoint a location on the map, upload photos, and submit issues concerning potholes, fallen trees, damaged park equipment, broken streetlights, or other local problems. For best servicing and to track updates, register and use MyCOLASC account today.
