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!

It’s great to see our neighbors in South Russell taking steps to increase their active transportation options. I’m looking forward to seeing what their engineering firm comes up with, and hope to make it to the meeting on March 11 at 7:00 pm.

Surprised I missed this September Wall Street Journal profile of the Rocket Cars and Jen Heitman, who–thanks to the Jaycees–has been kind enough to host Council members and their families in the last couple of Blossom Parades. Such a cool, unique legacy!

Also, the idea of going 135 mph in one of these is absolutely terrifying…

The village may have an approved budget before the fiscal year starts. Sidewalks might get some much-needed attention. Grove Hill Park still not complete after four-and-a-quarter years. Details and more in my notes from last night’s village council meeting.

I think traffic engineers are often so focused on cars that common sense goes out the window and anyone outside a vehicle is endangered. Here they’ve completely obscured the crosswalk entrance by placing this giant highway-sized sign on southbound Main Street. Be careful out there!

So glad to see this proper sidewalk and curb going in at the future home of Two Café & Boutique, replacing over a hundred feet of solid pavement and driveway apron. The fewer places that cars and people can occupy the same space, the better. I know of a couple other spots in town that could use the same treatment.

What a depressing milestone: most kids are now driven to and from school by private vehicles. So glad I live in a place where both my kids can now walk, bike, or scooter to school. I’m specially thankful for the many crossing guards who volunteer rain or shine to help make sure they get there safely.

Interested in becoming a crossing guard? Please get in touch!
