RESULUTIOId N0. - 759 BY: MR. FITZ-GERALD A RESOLUTION OPPOSING THE INTERIM SCOTS RECOMMENDATION OF THE NORTHERLY CORRIDOR OF I-290. WHEREAS, the Governor of the State of Ohio appointed a task force to designate a corridor for I-290; and WHEREAS, such task force has as yet made no final recommendation to the Governor; and WHEREAS, the Cleveland Seven-County Transportation Land Use Study Group (SCOTS) has made an interim recommendation which suggests a crescent slLaped area for such corridor which caould adversely affect property in the Village of Mayfield and 'other communities; and WHEREAS, such interim recommendation is not in the best interests of this and surrounding communities for reasons not limited to, but including the following: A. The proposed northern corridor would be less than three (3) miles from existing I-90, whereas, it would best serve a majority of uses and users by being more centrally located between I-90 and I-80. B. The recommended 'northern route is fourteen (14) miles long, and creates a swath through homes and industrial property throughout its distance, whereas, a proposed southerly route (Clark Freeway) is only nine (9) miles in length, and almost half of that distance could utilize the existing Shaker Boulevard area with little dislocation of business, industry and residences. C. The proposed northerly route will do great damage to the newly developed business and industrial areas to the east of this community. D. The area to the south of this community is more congested and has greater need of the proposed corridor. P10W, THEREFOP.E, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE-COUNCIL OF THE VILLAGE OF riAYFIELD, OHIO: Section 1. That the Council is completely and unalterably opposed to the SCOTS Interim Report which recommends priority for a northerly corridor which is routed through this community and communities to the east for I-290. Section 2. That the Mayor is requested to exert all of his efforts to convey this expression of feeling to the public and SCOTS, so that all action necessary shall take effect and~be in force at the earliest time allowed by law.
