If
you’ve noticed more orange barrels than usual coloring the Autumn landscape,
its because the City of Elyria has begun $796,049.00 in road resurfacing
projects thanks largely to an infusion of temporary cash from a demutualization
insurance settlement received by the City earlier in the year. Elyria City Council wanted to make sure that
the residents saw the benefits of some of this temporary infusion of cash and
so many long-awaited road repaving projects that the city would not otherwise
be able to complete due to financial constraints are being completed. As information regarding temporary road
closings and detours become available, we will be posting the information here
and on the City’s Cable Channel 12.

East Falls Repair Begins
The long-awaited repair
of the East Falls walkway, observation deck
and sewer underneath the platform next to the Elyria Police Station

underneath the deck and walkway, the picturesque platform has been closed, but
with the repairs, is slated to reopen in late fall of this year.
