Also, this is the 125th year of celebrating Arbor Day. Bill Prest, our golf course supervisor, is developing a joint program with Spruce Elementary School to create certified Audubon sites at both Springvale and Spruce Elementary. At the middle school, Mr. Prest has coordinated a program to help students construct various types of bird houses. Tomorrow Mr. Prest will host a tour of Springvale for the Spruce Elementary third graders so that they can learn more about the preservation of wildlife in open areas and open urban areas. Council Members are welcome to attend. 2) Part of the new Zoning Code passed by City Council several years ago calls for the elimination of pole signs and requires businesses to use ground signs beginning January 1, 1998. It would probably be a good idea to send a letter to all businesses reminding them that this requirement will go into effect next January. 3) The city has been advised by NOACA that they have approved a resolution incorporating the Cedar Point Road project into their Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) for fiscal year 1997. This project will be a repair and resurfacing of Cedar Point Road in North Olmsted and Brook Park and includes a bike path.
