both on the east side and the west side of Root Road. They have never shoveled a flake of snow off that. The whole rest of the neighborhood does their sidewalks. Ganley can't be bothered. Not only do they don't shovel it, they pile six feet of piles on the east side of the sidewalk. They can't get through it. I believe that's a violation. You can't block a sidewalk like that. I've seen people, and there's only one sidewalk on one side of the street on Root Road. People have to walk in the street when they get up to that 500 feet off Lorain Road and walk in Lorain in the middle of the street. They can't even cut across to the other side because Ganley's got that blocked. There's no reason for it. And I would hope that the city would, I don't know, they're supposed to be maintaining that property and they don't. It was an understanding, we were told they would never put a driveway between both bus sides of Root Road. Well, we know how that went. They got their driveway. But they are not good neighbors. They ignore everything you try to do. They unload cars on our streets, I have complained. When they drive a complete car transport and park it 50 feet off Lorain Road on Root Road, and start unloading cars and not a thing is done about it, I call the police. They'll tell them to move on. There's no ticket issued. There's no penalty given to Ganley. But they just keep on doing it. When Ganley put in there, they guaranteed us they would not be unloading cars on Lorain Road, and it's not just Ganley. They all do it. It's a traffic hazard. You can't see the other side of the street with cars being unloaded, and yet they don't do a thing about it. Ganley says, well, they ticket the driver, that's baloney. The drivers aren't ever going to pay the tickets, penalize Ganley for allowing them to do it. When they put that dealership in, they guaranteed us they put more than enough room for those transports to come in, unload, and leave, and yet they continuously do it, and the fence between my property, we've complained about it. They don't do a thing to re -finish it. So I just thought I'd let you know they're supposed to be good neighbors, and they aren't. Thank you. President Pro Tern Scarl: Thank you. Seeing no other comments from the audience, we will now move into legislation. LEGISLATION Council Clerk: Legislation on third reading. Resolution 2025-115, introduced by Mayor Jones.
