Second by Mikula. Motion adopted unanimously. <br /> <br />Coutant Avenue (Detroit Avenue to Madison Avenue) <br /> <br />Councilman Gallagher explained in detail the unique situation of Coutant <br />Avenue. Coutant Avenue experiences an unusual amount of truck traffic <br />as a result of the location of several automobile dealerships. In <br />addition, traffic is experienced due to the location of Lake Erie Screw <br />Corporation, Burger King and Lakewood's Gold Coast.

As a result of these circumstances, Councilman Gallagher felt that <br />there should be no assessment to the residents of Coutant Avenue. <br /> <br /> <br />
