Council Minutes of 8/2/2005 ® monitoring the project. Mayor O'Grady said various ODOT and city experts have looked at the work. Mr. Lambert is entitled to his opinion, but he will rely on the professionals of his administration to do their job. City Engineer Durbin came forward to say what is being done is the first coat. Once they get the leveling course down, they will raise all the manholes, water boxes, etc. and then come along with their finish coat. There are state inspectors on the job all the time. Alex Rychlik, 27900 North Park Drive, expressed thanks for the repair of his street. He asked if there was any possible way to limit use of the street by trucks. Many delivery trucks (LIPS, Fed Ex, etc.) going to Halleen and other businesses on Lorain Road cut through North Park and this causes deterioration of the street. He would like to see signage stating a weight limit or perhaps restricting use to local access. Law Director Dubelko said, although he has not researched this issue, he would tend to think the city would not be able to tell companies what routes they have to take when they are permitted to go on any road to deliver their goods. That could be very difficult. Councilman Tallon asked Safety Director Limpert to follow up on this complaint with the Law Department to see if something can be done to remedy this situation. If legislation is needed, then Council can consider passing such legislation. LEGISLATION Ordinance No. 2005-75 introduced by Mayor O'Grady was given its third reading.
