City Council passes Oakwood rezoning

The city council did a great thing in facing down another unruly mob of Heightsters and approving First Interstate’s zoning request. Citizens for Oakwood has already said they’re going to try and get a referendum on the ballot – but it’s going to be too little, too late. That’s par for the course (golf pun intended) for them. They failed to get the money raised to buy the old club. They failed to persuade the Planning Commission or the City Council with their scare tactics.

After they’ve sent out two waves of propaganda postcards, with the scary Walmart logo, they were unable to persuade the critical mass needed to make their case. All that money raised for their cause. How much of it was spent? How much is left? And who decides what happens to any remaining funds. I’ll give you three guesses. I could sense the desperation of the anti-Oakwood crowd at Monday’s meeting.

Kathy Schaefer’s blood lust was revolting. She is a traitor to the people of South Euclid. In the olden days, someone like that would be banished from the town.

New traffic signals will improve safety on that stretch of Warrensville. Consider this: when the area was at its peak population in the 1970s, there were more cars in that area than at any other time. Not only that. They were bigger, more dangerous cars. All the studies had shown that the increase in traffic will not even reach the 1985 levels!

Say NO to tax increases. Say YES to Oakwood.
