Minutes of the Special Meeting of Council <br />Monday, May 6, 2019 <br />Page 6 <br />and maybe not the best use of our time or the contractor's time but if we can, it's summer now. <br />Finally people want to get down the hill to Gates Mills to wherever they need to go and come <br />back up to our Village, use our restaurants and the Grove and all that stuff and we are just <br />making it harder. I understand. We have to get this work done. If there's a way you can <br />facilitate that in any way, I would just recommend that we do it. I don't know if there's a better <br />time of the year to do it. Probably not, but if there's a way to facilitate it being open, somehow. <br />But you are the expert on that. Any other comments? <br />Dr. Parker stated, I just wanted to ask about the sidewalk. Is it possible for us to take a look at <br />it? <br />Mr. Metzung stated, it's getting done. <br />Mr. Cappello stated, it's going to be concrete. <br />Dr. Parker stated, I just wanted to make sure. Thank you. <br />Mr. Metzung stated, and when we say we are closing the road, it's in name only. Traffic will <br />still be using the road because we have to allow local traffic through.

When <br />they do the curve at Echo, that might be the worst time, but again, people will still be able to get <br />where they have to get to. This is more discouraging through traffic than I would say closing the <br />road. <br />Council President Saponaro stated, okay. <br />Dr. Parker stated, but it says local traffic only? <br />Mr. Metzung replied, correct. <br />Dr. Parker stated, people are not entitled, they could be ticketed. <br />Council President Saponaro stated, correct. I don't want to send a mixed message here. <br />Dr. Parker stated, but the idea of having it open on the weekends if they are not working is a <br />good one I think in terms of our businesses and such and access to our businesses. <br />Council President Saponaro stated, that's my biggest concern. Economic development. There's a <br />way to do it. <br />Mr. Cappello stated, I don't want to confuse the issue with people saying it was open on <br />Saturday and when they come Monday, it's closed. Let me get back to you. We will discuss it <br />thoroughly. As of now, I would plan on it being closed. The problem is going to be the first two <br />
