No. 76-141, aec:onde~ by Mr. Fairfield. Mr. Wilamosky asked for discussion: Mr. Wilamosky stated r-ith all respect to the Administration it was pointed out by the Mayor that the City contracted with the County for the Lorain Rd. signalization in good faith. Perhaps the Mayor is correct when the contract was entered into - good faith was a part of that contract in some minds. The contract which the Mayor refers to is the same contract which caused the traffic light to be removed from Decker & Lorain Rd. The contract which the Mayor refers to is the same contract which when enacted was at a variance to the City Charter: Mr. Wilamosky stated it is his opinion and the opinion of others that the helter skelter removal of the traffic lights such as the one at Decker Rd. ~ Lorain Rd. is seriously affecting the safety of those persons .that use that particular intersection. As to the cost factor: the people are not asking for anything new - they are only asking for what they once had which was taken away because of that contract. Mr. Wilamosky stated he respectfully requests that all Members of Council set aside any political dis- crepancies that may exist when considering their vote to override the Mayor's veto and to base their vote solely on an honest and fair appraisal of the matter. Mr. West stated that the retrafficing of Lorain and Brookpark Rds. was done after much study - over a period of two years if not three years, and it required a great deal of study by the State, the County and our own traffic people: there wasn't anything helter skelter about it - it was by design; and we did enter into the contract and everybody agreed that we would stand by the five year with no change: even though there was perhaps a mistake made in the ordinance in the way ~,
