City of St. Bernard, Ohio

St. Bernard's charm is its small-town appeal. But that simplicity masks an elaborate system of city services. The most visible is DIAL-A-RIDE bus that transports residents anywhere within city limits. TRASH PICKUP is twice weekly, and residents may request a city truck for large items. Free sidewalk repair and use of three CITY BANQUET HALLS or local picnic areas are among other perks citizens enjoy. In addition, for a nominal fee, St. Bernard offers the use of its FITNESS CENTER to residents.
