Council Minutes of 12-20-2016 like a guard rail installed to prevent drivers from going into his yard. His complete remarks are attached to the minutes. The Mayor thanked Sam for coming to the meeting. He said he had not heard of this issue yet, but was glad he worked with Councilman Brossard. He said he would get with the Safety & Services Director the next day to look into it. Councilman Limpert noted he had also received a complaint from a resident on this same issue and he noted the Chevron signs went up, but apparently the resident whose property the signs were in front of removed them and he talked with Director Glauner about it. The City will probably need to revisit again. Jennifer Garcowski 4474 Porter Road. North Olmsted Mrs. Garcowski stated there are many that live on Porter Road that have witnessed accident after accident around this curb. She stated it's a huge safety issue and she has a son, not to mention there are a lot of other children who live in the area. She said her husband and her moved to Porter Road two years ago and they have witnessed more accidents in the past two years then they have in their whole lives combined. She said learning the history of this curve from another neighbor, there has been a lot of accidents including some serious ones, including one where a girl lost her arm. Being a new mom, she is very concerned for the children and their safety in this area. She thinks a guard rail is a very good idea to protect those in the area. She stated she would like to see it go a step further and have more warning signs about a dangerous curb, flashing lights or something. She would also like to see police out giving tickets day after day for a couple of weeks or a month. She said she knows police won't solve the problem entirely, but she thinks it would prevent some accidents. LEGISLATION Ordinance 2016-122 introduced by Mayor Kennedy and was given its third reading.
