Special Council Meeting <br />9/22/93 <br />I'age Two Mr. Forsberg explained the varieties of materials that could be used for the barrier. He <br />said they could ask for wood but could not be real specific (such as which type of <br />wood.) <br />Discussion was held about locating plantings on either or both sides of the wall. <br />Mayor Rinker said plantings on both sides of the wall would improve aesthetics. <br />Mr. Forsberg said they would consider moving the location of the wall to allow for <br />plantings. There will be plenty of time to get that information together. <br />Mr. Fixler asked if they have any other assurance that this is what they are going to get. <br />Should the State say they will not put Sound barriers up--if there any way that can <br />happen? <br />Mr. Forsberg said they must do an environmental assessment and make commitments. <br />It is a Federal requirement they have the sound barriers. If they do not, their Federal <br />funding could be cut off. Everything should be in place before it opens up. <br />Mayor Rinker questioned if the cast of lighting is being addressed. <br />Mr. Forsberg said they are keeping the lights right in the median which should cut out <br />unwanted light. <br />Mr. Busa asked if they are prepared to abandon our safety forces' concerns. He asked if <br />the Chiefs are aware they are not going to get what they want in total. <br />Mr. Hovancsek said an additional slip ramp was added on White Road. There would <br />be a problem for a fire engine to go through the opening in the wall, but it can go <br />through if it has police vehides with it. <br />Mrs. Cinco said we do get mutual aid from Willoughby Hills and Mayfield Heights. <br />They can cover us very well. Chief Mohr would like more but understands and realizes <br />this is it-we are not going to get more. <br />Mr. Hovancsek said there is only one opening in the entire median which is on White <br />Road--they made an exception to put that in. <br />Mayor Rinker said the fact is there are conduit lines being put in that median that were <br />not originally designed, so it will be camera-ready.
