Council Minutes of 5/21/20112 <br />Mayor Musial advised as to traffic detouring with regazd to the Claque Road widening <br />project. It is being done in an effort to shorten the time to have all of the lanes installed <br />reduced from two to two and a half months down to about seven weeks to minimize <br />traffic congestion. Southbound Claque Road traffic will be detoured. The total detour <br />time frame is about two and a half to three weeks, split between south of Lorain Road and <br />north of Lorain Road. Restricting traffic to northbound only will allow the contractor to <br />install three lanes, which will allow for a left hand turn lane to help keep traffic moving <br />smoothly while the lanes on the east side of Claque Road are being installed. If we didn't <br />do this, it would only be possible to install two new lanes at one time. This provides for a <br />greater increase and frequency of the cars moving through a particulaz traffic light. It's <br />felt that detouring the traffic for two or three weeks is a much better option than having <br />traffic congestion problems for the remainder of the project, which will be about two to <br />two and a half months. <br />Mrs. Kasler noted that there was a parking issue with regard to the residents on Claque <br />Road, particularly north Claque, as they would be prohibited from coming in and out of <br />their driveways. They received notice on Friday. She talked with Service Director <br />Thomas and also spoke with the manager at Reehorst Cleaners who was extremely <br />cooperative and allowed for parking there. Mr. Thomas called some other businesses so <br />that residents wouldn't have to cross over through construction. She commends those <br />people for cooperating and helping us out on a temporary basis with that pazking. <br />Councilman Nashar wished everyone a nice Memorial Day weekend. <br />With the agenda being completed and there being no further business to come before <br />Council, President O'Grady adjourned the meeting at 9:15 p.m. <br />/J~ <br />:c.~~~-,cam.
