Council Minutes of 3/2/99 ,~ Mrs. Saringer said she had recently read a newspaper article that stated Westlake is contemplating widening Columbia Road. She wondered if it was not a good time for North Olmsted to try to negotiate and get our portion widened also in order to take out the curve. Mr. McKay said that ODOT has stated many times that they will not build a road that is outdated by the time that it is built. Unless Westlake increases their part of Columbia Road to four lanes, ODOT will not help. If Westlake is going to four lanes, he will be happy to see it. Mr. Gareau said that the Westlake area to be widened is to the north of Center Ridge Road, which does not directly abut North Olmsted. However, he is open for the idea of looking at Columbia Road for reasons other than simply widening. It needs some attention in other respects, but that is a project for another year.
