lower. The administration expressed a desire to take a data driven approach to changing traffic patterns. Councilmember Bullock pulled up a NOACA GIS map and noted that Lake Ave. in Lakewood is considered a local road. He noted the state's definitions of different types of roads and the default speeds that are assigned to them, noting that Lakewood does not necessarily have to follow state law. Councilmember Litten stated a desire to gain a better understanding of the Edgewater speed issue further and the need to tailor solutions to unique situations. Mayor George stated that the administration can get both traffic studies completed in the near future and speed limits on both streets can be discussed at the next committee meeting. Director Leininger stated that Lake Ave. in Cleveland is a county road and that it is unclear whether it is in Lakewood. E-Comment-Nicholas Binfield- Thankyou, this will make cycling on Lake Ave. much more appealing and safer. I would like to see more done to make cycling in Lakewood a better option. For example, delineators could be placed on Lake's south side bike lane to fully separate it from cars. I would also like to see the bike lanes on Madison Ave. and the north side of Lake swapped to be against the curb with parking in-between to fully protect cyclists from traffic and cars parking, and to better prevent from getting doored. Director Ducu stated that lowering Edgewater Dr.'s speed limit to 15 miles per hour wouldn't do much good and that there is a need to collect data and look at the two roads separately. The committee determined it would be very expensive to put sidewalks in on the road. Chairman Rader adjourned the meeting without objection. The meeting was adjourned at 6:30 p.m.
