Peepers read that a city east of North Olmsted was able to get their sound walls replaced, and their funding was taken care of through state stimulus money or federal money. He asked if North Olmsted will pursue this. Councilwoman Jones said she spoke with Senator Patton a few weeks ago. His comment to her was to continue to push for that. He sits on the Transportation Committee which handles ODOT and their finances. He said right now they are in the middle of the budget process. Councilwoman Jones told him that the city absolutely needs relief for the residents. She said they will continue to do everything they can to get the study done and to get the walls up.
