Alger Road (Warren Road to Lakewood Heights Boulevard), and to deleate Belle Avenue (Madison Avenue to Franklin Avenue) from the 1982 street resurfacing program. WHEREAS, this Council has heretofore on December 7, 1981, adopted Resolution No. 5619 declaring it necessary to improve portions of Jackson Avenue, Lincoln Avenue, Giel Avenue, Lakewood Heights Boulevard, Selle Avenue, McKinley Avenue, Cove Avenue, Lewis Drive, Reveley Avenue, and Alger Road by removal, where necessary, of the existing surface course, by grading and replacement where necessary, of the base and by resurfacing with asphaltic concrete including the necessary replacement and resetting of castings together with necessary appurtenances thereto, and WHEREAS, in the aforesaid Resolution 5619 this Council determined that those tote with frontage so benefited by said improvements shall be assessed as the rate of $5.00 per foot of frontage, and WHEREAS, the Board of Revision of Assessments at its hearing on March 25, 1982, determined that the damage to Reveley Avenue (Madison Avenue to Athens Avenue) was caused in part by an unusual and extraordinary amount of truck and heavy vehicle traffic generated by commercial deliveries to the nearby neighborhood shopping area and that the damage to Lakewood Heights Boulevard (Alger Road to 180 feet west of Olive Avenue), McKinley Avenue (Hilliard Road to Riverside Drive) and Alger Road (Warren Road to Lakewood Heights Boulevard) was caused by the extreme increase in use of said streets as the result of traffic patterns generated by the use of I-90 and that these streets have virtually become marginal roads to Interstate 90 rather than strictly residential streets as the term is ordinarily used; and the Board has directed that the property owners portion be reduced to $4.50 per front footage on Reveley Avenue and that no assessment be made on property abutting Lakewood Heights Boulevard, McKinley Avenue and Alger Road and that the entire cost of said improvement be paid for by the City, and WHEREAS, the Board of Revision and Assessments has further advised this Council that the majority of the residents of Belle Avenue (Madison Avenue to Franklin Avenue) feel that Belle Avenue should be deleated from the 1982 resurfacing program because of the current on-going hospital construction and for the further reason that the roadway is repairable and need not be improved this year, to which this Council concurs, and WHEREAS, This Council by two-thirds vote of the members elected thereto determines that this Resolution is an emergency measure which is necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, property, health, and safety and for the further reason that the improvements provided in Resolution 5619 is immediately necessary to eliminate existing hazards to vehicular traffic using the streets of the City; now, therefore, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LAKEWOOD, STATE OF OHIO:
