Ward 3 Quick Update December 24, 2015

Posted on December 24, 2015 by in Ward3 Update

Ward 3 Resident,

Just wanted to give you a quick update on some important items before the Christmas holiday.

Still Time to Take the North Royalton Ward 3 Sidewalk Survey
There is still time to take my online survey at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/NKGPCRQ for Ward 3 residents to give further input on the issue of sidewalks. Survey takes less than 2 minutes to complete. Council has been debating this issue for over five years. All of the ward councilmen were urged to reach out to their residents in correlation with this issue after the November 4th City Council Streets Committee Meeting. City Council has been reviewing the recommendations from the year long North Royalton Alternative Transportation Study that was conducted by the Northeast Ohio Areawide Coordinating Agency. The study expands upon recommendations made from the 2014 City Master Plan that calls for the city to increase connectivity throughout parts of the city through various methods such as sidewalks, bike lanes, and etc. The study highlights some specific areas of the city to start focusing on for the future in regard to the installation of sidewalks.. The only areas in our ward that were recommend are as follows: State Rd. (Wallings Rd. to Castle Dr.) and York Rd. (York Alpha Dr, to W Wallings Rd.). Read More. Your feedback and participation are greatly appreciated. The sidewalk survey will run until January 4, 2016. Ward 3 residents who don’t have internet access can pick up a paper version of the survey at the City Council Office at 14600 State Rd. Click Here to complete the survey now.

Rumpke Waste & Recycling Christmas & New Years Holiday Schedule 
Trash service will not occur Friday, December 25th and Friday, January 1st due to the Christmas and New Years holidays.  This will only effect Friday collection both weeks.  Pick up for Friday will be on Saturday. Regular pick up schedule will resume on Monday, January 4th. The recycle yard will be closed Saturday, December 26th and January 2nd. If you have any questions, you can contact Rumpke directly at 1-800-828-8171.

Merry Christmas!

Greetings Ward 3 Resident,

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving with their family and friends! Wow, Christmas is just around the corner. As we approach the end of 2015, things remain relatively busy in City Government with much to update you on.


Thank You
Before I get into my update below. I just like to take a moment and thank you the residents for recently re-electing in the November 3rd General Election to serve another two-year term on City Council. Legendary professional boxer Muhammad Ali once said “Service to others is the rent you pay for your room here on earth”. This quote sums up pretty well why I enjoy what I do. It is one simple word, which is service. It is my honor to serve the over 5,500 residents that call North Royalton Ward 3 home and being their voice on City Council. On November 25th I was officially sworn in for my second elected term on City Council. I look forward to continuing to serve Ward 3!

Ward 3 Quick Update September 14, 2015

Posted on September 15, 2015 by in Ward3 Update

Ward 3 Resident,

I just wanted to give you a quick update.


Beware of a Possible Scam
I have been contacted by a number of residents who have recently received flyers from a solicitor at their door or mailbox for painting addresses at the curb of the street. They ask for cash or check. It could be a possible scam. Please make sure they are a registered with the city as a solicitor and have the necessary permits to do such work. If you have any concerns or see the individuals putting these flyers out in your neighborhood contact the North Royalton Police Department on the Non-Emergency Phone # at 440-237-8686. Also Click Here to read about a scam a few years ago similar to this that happened in Bath Township. If you do need a reliable address sign the North Royalton Fire Department does them for residents for their mailboxes. Click Here if you are interested purchasing one.

Have a great week!

Ward 3 Quick Update August 19, 2015

Posted on August 19, 2015 by in Ward3 Update

Ward 3 Resident,

Just wanted to give you a quick update on a few things.

Back to School Safety Reminders
The North Royalton City School District is back in session today August 19th. Please be careful driving in school zones. Schools buses will back on the roads and students will be crossing streets throughout Ward 3 to catch those buses. Be mindful of the posted speed limits of 25mph in the residential areas of our ward as well and keeping the appropriate distance away from buses when they stop. Also when parking on city streets to wait for the school bus. Do not park your vehicle within 30 feet in front of a stop sign. You could get cited for being in violation of this particular city parking ordinance. I wish all kids in our ward who are returning back to school a great 2015-2016 school year!

Ward 3 Quick Update July 18, 2015

Posted on July 18, 2015 by in Ward3 Update

Ward 3 Resident,

Just wanted to give you a quick update on a few things.

Ditch Maintenance Reminder
With our unseasonably rainy summer it is important to remind you of the importance of ditch maintenance. If you have a roadway drainage ditch on your property that contains debris (brush, leaves, sticks, debris, etc.) has filled itself in and/or has severely eroded, does not function properly, the driveway culvert pipe is fully or partially blocked, or if the ditch has become overgrown with natural vegetation. These conditions will obstruct storm water flow through this ditch system during significant rain events. These obstructions can cause upstream rear flooding and possible flood damage to other properties nearby. Section 1022.05(a) of the Codified Ordinances of North Royalton, Ohio states the following: ”It is the responsibility of the property owner to keep said ditch, culvert, sewer, natural watercourse or other watercourse free from all debris, vegetation, etc., so as not to impede the drainage of water”. Please remember to keep debris, logs, sticks, leaves (especially during the Fall season), grass clippings, small trees and brush from within the limits of the ditch. This can mostly be accomplished by hand with use of small tools and equipment and bagging the yard wastes for curb pick-up. Also here are some helpful phone numbers to call if you have any storm water or sanitary issues to report:

Service Department
440-582-3002

Waste Water Department
440-237-5010
