Village Council Late November Meeting

Committee of the Whole Council Late November Meeting

Friendly reminder that next year (November 4, 2025) Chagrin Falls will elect four people to Village Council (over half of the seats). All members will hold four-year terms, completing council’s transition to staggered terms (see the link below for more details and a diagram). If you’ve ever considered running and want to hear more about the reality of the job, please get in touch! Happy to talk to you, over email, on the phone, or in person – whatever you’re most comfortable with: brian@councilmandrum.net https://drumforchagrin.com

Facilities & Services November Meeting

I just published my recap of Monday’s Safety Committee meeting, where we reviewed a variety of improvements we can make to the streetscape in the wake of the North Main Street bridge project. Very happy with the progress we’ve made so far and I’m cautiously optimistic that these changes will actually be implemented. If you care about this stuff (and you should!) take a look and let me know what you think. I’m planning to call another meeting for December 9 to keep the momentum going, so please join if you can… Safety Committee November Meeting

Such a cool, unique legacy! Also, the idea of going 135 mph in one of these is absolutely terrifying… You Don’t Need to Be a Billionaire to Ride in Her Rocket Car: Jen Heitman’s father rescued an amusement-park ride and turned it into drivable nostalgia Archived copy: https://archive.ph/2SdKH
