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

I spent yesterday at my kid’s doubleheader in North Baltimore, Ohio. The history of North Baltimore is similar to Chagrin Falls in a number of ways; it was founded in the 1870s, occupies 2.5 square miles, has a population of 3,369, and is centered on a North Main Street that looks a lot like ours. And check out these crosswalks! Good street design isn’t just for big cities or tourist destinations. Cars are just as deadly in small towns, and everyone outside a vehicle deserves the basic protections that have been shown to work.
