REPORTS Mayor Boyle: 1) The second Town Hall meeting of the year will be held on Wednesday, June 11, from 7:30 p.m. until 9 p.m. at Butternut Elementary School. Although the meetings are held in different wards, the meetings are not exclusive to the ward. Everyone is invited to attend. 2) In 1990, he ordered a guardrail to be constructed on Columbia Road at the bend near the Westlake border. Recently, the Ohio Department of Transportation removed it without first informing the city. Also, they have not returned the guardrail to the city. When questioned, ODOT said it could not be there because it was a hazard itself. The city does not believe this is true; we think it has served as a benefit to our residents and the area was safer because it was there. Before the guardrail was there, we received complaints of speeders in the area and of vehicles going across treelawns. Law Director Gareau said that he had advised the Service Director to put the guardrail back up.
