Resolution No. 2004-152 SECTION 1: That this Council of the City of North Olmsted opposes the proposal of the Crreater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority ("GCRTA") to eliminate the Number 53 Crreat Northern - Center Ridge bus raute in that it will result in a diminution in services to the public, particular to passengers desiring to travel between the Westgate Transit Center and the Great Northern shopping center, in North Olmsted, Ohio, and even more particularly to the elderly and other transit dependent individuals in the cities of Fairview Park and North Olmsted, and further urges GCRTA, upon reconsideration, to follow the recommendation of the study it commissioned in 1997 and convert the Number 53 bus route instead to a Community Circulator route, and expand the route to include additional services on Dover Center Road, Center Ridge Road, and Crocker Road to the Westlake Promenade. SECTION 2: That the Clerk of Council be, and hereby is, directed to forward a fully attested copy of this Resolution to Fairview Park Mayor Eileen Patton, Westlake Mayor Dennis Clough, and Joseph Calabrese, General Manager of the Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority, urging all of them to become involved and take action to oppose elimination of the Number 53 Great Northern - Center Ridge bus route, because of the adverse impact it will have upon the public, and particularly upon the elderly and other transit dependent persons in the Cities of Fairview Park and North Olmsted, Ohio. SECTION 3: That this Resolution is hereby declared to be an emergency measure immediately necessary for the preservation of the public health, safety and welfare, and for the reason that it is necessary that this Resolution go into effect immediately so that the contents of this Resolution may be timely communicated to various officials before RTA acts upon its pending proposal to eliminate the Number 53 bus route, and further provided it receives the affirmative vote of two-thirds of all members of Council, it shall take effect and be in force immediately upon its passage and approval by the Mayor.
