Ordinance No. 96-172 was introduced and placed on first reading by Mayor Boyle on behalf of himself and the entire Council. An ordinance rescinding the agreement for grading, draining and paving improvements of Clague Road between Mastick Road and Lorain Road as authorized by Ordinance No. 85-43, and declaring an emergency. Mr. McKay moved for suspension of the rules requiring three readings and committee review; second by Mrs. Saringer. Roll call: McKay, yes; Saringer, yes; Nashar, yes; O'Grady, yes; Limpert, no. Mr. Limpert said he agreed that the four-lane road should be rescinded. However, he feels the expenditure of $40,000 should be reviewed by committee for a consensus of opinion on where the funds will be drawn. Roll call continued: Lind, yes. Motion passed with 6 affirmative votes and 1 negative vote. Mr. McKay moved for adoption; second by Mrs. Saringer; motion passed unanimously. Mr. O'Grady commented that the Crocker-Stearns Road will provide a needed north/south connector, but it will provide that connector only on the west side of North Olmsted and not offer relief to the east side of town. He feels that there must still be planning and discussion for a north/south connector on the east side of North Olmsted, or through Fairview Park, to alleviate the problem on that side of town. Clague Road is definitely not the answer to that question as the four lanes would stop at Lorain Road. Mr. McKay commented that a number of years ago the City of North Olmsted had agreed that Great Northern Boulevard should be the north/south connector from I-90 to I-480. North Olmsted did their part, and Great Northern Boulevard was expanded to four lanes to Lorain Road. The county approached Westlake, but Westlake was not agreeable to expand four lanes through their city to I-90. The county would not continue the road to the Westlake line due to the fact that they would not construct afour-lane road going into atwo-lane road. So, we would have relief if Rt. 252 is completed to I-90. However, that is going to be the responsibility of Westlake. Also, Fairview Park could have anorth/south corridor at W. 220 Street. Mrs. Saringer thanked the majority of Council for supporting her on this issue. She also expressed thanks to the residents who have attended meetings and expressed their opinions. Ordinance No. 96-172 adopted. .~~ 6 ..rte G
