L . <br />' the Rini's Supermarket. <br />3. Safet,y considerations require that the congestion <br />caused by the In and Out drivewa,ys to this shopping <br />center be_reduced, not increased. <br />Use of multiple drivewa,ys opening onto Gr.eat Northern <br />Blvd. from this.shopping center often stov traffic <br />ver,y abruptly. This -oresents a high potential for <br />accidents. Man,y have,occurred. <br />In the short distance between Lorain Rd. and Brookpark <br />Rd. there are six (6) Tn and Out drivewaYs. This small <br />shopping center has almost as many access points as <br />.. the entire Great Northern Shonping Center complex: <br />'Shereas most of the access points for the Great North- <br />erri Shopping Center complex are protected by traffic <br />sigrials, this small center has none. <br />The northernmost driveways, (at the Sohio-Ohio Savin?s <br />end), exit onto Great Northern Blvd. immediatel,y <br />after the Lorain-Great Northern intersection. Accidents' <br />and near-accidents frequentl,y occur because of this <br />proximit y. The central driveways serving Rini's, ?1'he Spaghetti <br />Company, Furniture Land, e.t. al., are so bus.y that <br />special policemen are needed.

The number <br />of driveways opening to Great Northern.Blvd. from this <br />small center should be reduced. A traffic signal should <br />be installed for the central drivewa,y. Others should <br />be closed. , <br />4. Dirt, noise, and air pollution created by this sr.oppinp, <br />center are alread,y high. Exanination of the.rear areas <br />prove this. Nothing is being done to counter these. <br />problems. For exa.mple, the use of Inland, Karas, and BFI <br />to remove waste from adjoining st-ores(!) on different <br />da.ys and at different times. Only one of these companies <br />. would be required, (a single visit at a single_time), if <br />. the service.were supplied by the center's owner or if
