Minutes of the Regular Meeting of Council Monday, June 17, 2024 Page 8 the bridges and the fencing is in the process of being replaced. Certain parts are rotted. ODOT is having Great Lakes Construction do the work. They are working between 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. They are using temporary traffic signals. They are maintaining traffic, but there is a slight delay. They are not working during rush hour. This week they plan on working tomorrow, Tuesday and the next day, Wednesday and possibly Thursday. They will be doing that work in the area underneath I-271 southbound express lanes. Those lanes have been closed. They are able then to do the work from the top without having to close down the freeway. They may do some work in the evenings on other days. They can shut down portions of 271 below because they can't do the work above without doing that. The second report is on Ridgebury Blvd. As you can see, the work is progressing fairly well. The concrete base repair has been done. They put the intermediate course of asphalt down. Now they are working on replacing the curbs. End of report. Council President Schutt stated, thank you, Mr. Cappello. Chief Carcioppolo (Fire) — Actually I just wanted to say that little spiel about Jeff. That's all I had. Council President Schutt stated, thank you Chief. Shane McAvinew (Parks and Recreation) — Thank you Council President. I have a handful of things I want to talk about tonight. The summer kicked off the Memorial event, on to Cruise Night, on to the concerts. It seems like everything's condensed this year. A week from now we are going to have our Fourth of July event. Everything's been great the whole entire summer so far. Cruise Night probably had some of the largest crowds I have ever seen. We ran out of shirts. I am ordering more shirts, so if you know anyone who needs a Cruise Night shirt, I will be ordering some extra ones. As the Mayor spoke, the ELO band last Thursday was perfect with the weather and perfect conditions. The bathroom was up and tested. We do have some bugs we still have to work out on the restroom, but it did go well. This week we have Ricky and the Rockets on Thursday. It might be postponed or cancelled due to the temperature if the band is not comfortable going on stage with the air quality. We will put that on Facebook if it is cancelled. We hope we are not, but if the band doesn't feel comfortable playing, because of the temperature, they can make that decision. This Friday, we have International Day of Yoga at the Gazebo. It starts at 6:00 p.m. Lastly, I would like to thank all. This would not be possible without the support of the Mayor or Council, endless volunteers from the Parks Board across the board, and residents who have stepped up over and over again to make these events successful and interact. Without these volunteers, we just wouldn't have these events. Thank you everybody. Council President Schutt stated, thank you. Are there any other department head reports this evening? There were none.
