The Plan was funded from a Community Development Block Grant from Cuyahoga County. Illustration: Parcels formerly home to the Ford Casting and Engine plants could be redeveloped into a regional destination site accommodating a variety of mixed uses. Its prime location to the Cleveland Hopkins Airport and I-71 make it well-suited to accommodate future growth for the community. Brook Park Master Plan 3 Section I: Executive Summary Brook Park has experienced various levels of progression from a small settlement, to a burgeoning post- World War II community, to the "built-out" community that it is today. There is no doubt that the City's proximity to Cleveland, Cleveland Hopkins Airport, Ford Motor Company, and key thoroughfare routes resulted in defining Brook Park’s built and social landscape. Today, Brook Park’s has 12,000 residents fewer than its 1970 peak population of 30,774, and much of its built environment is aging. But the pride and perseverance of residents is not.

  • Chapter 4 Transportation
    CHAPTER 4 TRANSPORTATION Clockwise from upper left: surface cracking on Town House Road, Hobbs Road, shoulder work on Town House Road, and Pine River Road 4 - 1 4 - 2 4.1 INTRODUCTION NH Route 25 runs across the northern portion of Effingham; it is a primary east-west corridor connecting Portland, ME with New Hampshire's Lakes Region as well as connectivity to the White Mountains and the I-93 corridor. Effingham's Town Offices and elementary school are located just north of NH Route 25. Along the eastern edge of town, NH Route 153 runs north and south, providing connectivity to the Mount Washington Valley to the north. NH Route 16 also provides access to Mount Washington Valley as well as the Seacoast to the south. With Green Mountain dominating the landscape, a network of local roads connects residents and visitors to goods and services. Effingham has one designated scenic road, Hobbs Road. In Effingham the Selectmen work with local contractors to maintain and plow the town's 40 miles of roads. The Master Plan Survey pointed to several areas where respondents felt there are maintenance needs. The Survey also identified strong recreational interest in hiking and biking paths. This chapter was developed with guidance and input from the Effingham Master Plan Transportation Committee, which had representation from the Selectboard, Planning Board, and several citizens. Input also came from participants at the May 6, 2011 Public Forum and June 14, 2011 Selectmen's meeting. The chapter explores the existing transportation network in Effingham, provides an update to past master plan recommendations, and makes some recommendations for additional improvements.

  • Adapted from Snow, Road Salt and the Chesapeake Bay by Tom Schueler, Center for Watershed Protection Put Your Sidewalk and Drive
    Adapted from Snow, Road Salt and the Chesapeake Bay by Tom Schueler, Center for Watershed Protection Put Your Sidewalk and Driveway on a Low-Salt Diet For safety reasons, we need to keep driveways and sidewalks clear of ice and snow. However, choosing the right product and using it correctly is important to help protect our water resources. 1. Shovel early, shovel often. There is no substitute for muscle and elbow grease for snow and ice removal. Deicers work best when there is only a thin layer of snow or ice that must be melted. Remove as much snow as you can during the storm if possible. Use a hoe or other tools to chip or scrape ice off the surface before any deicers are applied. If you have a problem with ice forming, determine the source and divert the melting snow away from your sidewalks and driveway to an area where ice won’t be a problem. 2. Buy early. Make sure to buy your deicing product well before the big storm hits, otherwise you will be looking at empty shelves, and have few, if any, environmental choices to make at the store. 3. Check the label. The table below shows how the main ingredients of common de-icing products compare. Check the package closely to see what you’re buying—often a product may contain several of the ingredients listed below, but the first one listed is usually the main ingredient. On the label: Works Down to: Cost Environmental Concerns Calcium Chloride -25 degrees F 3 times more than rock Uses lower doses salt No Cyanide Chloride impact Magnesium Chloride 5 degrees F n/a less toxic and safer for environment than calcium chloride NaCl: Sodium Chloride 15 degrees F about 5 bucks for a 50 Contains cyanide or “rock salt” pound bag Chloride impacts Urea 20 to 25 degrees 5 times more than rock Needless nutrients F salt Less Corrosion Calcium Magnesium 22 to 25 degrees 20 times more than Less toxic Acetate (CMA) F rock salt Sand No melting effect about 3 buck for a 50 lb Accumulates in streets and bag streams; needs to be swept up 4.

  • Ordinance 65
    STATE OF MICHIGAN COUNTY OF BERRIEN ORONOKO CHARTER TOWNSHIP PRIVATE ROAD ORDINANCE ORDINANCE NO. 65 AN ORDINANCE TO REQUIRE THAT ALL LOTS OR PARCELS OF LAND WHICH DO NOT ABUT PUBLIC STREETS ABUT A PRIVATE ROAD WHICH PRIVATE ROAD SHALL MEET THE STANDARDS AND SPECIFICATIONS AS SET FORTH HEREIN FOR CONSTRUCTION AND MAINTENANCE, TO PROVIDE FOR AN APPLICATION PROCESS FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A PRIVATE ROAD, AND TO PROVIDE FOR PENALTIES FOR VIOLATIONS HEREOF. SECTION 1: TITLE. This Ordinance shall be known as and cited as Oronoko Charter Township Private Road Ordinance. SECTION 2: PURPOSE. The purpose of this Ordinance is to ensure that lots within Oronoko Charter Township that do not abut a public street or road nonetheless abut a private road. To this end, this Ordinance is intended to provide minimum standards and specifications for the construction, maintenance and extension of private roads within the Charter Township of Oronoko, Berrien County, Michigan, to protect the public health, safety and general welfare of persons and property pursuant to MCL 41/181; MSA 5.45(1). It is recognized that such standards are necessary because of the need for road services adequate to provide year round access by fire, police, and like emergency vehicles. It is further recognized that if roads are not constructed in accordance with certain minimum standards, such roads frequently become impassable, and vehicles which do try to use them during such periods of impassability are likely to become mired, find it impossible to gain access to the persons or structures located on the roadway, block the roadway and otherwise pose a threat to the health, safety and welfare of the residents located along the roadway, as well as to those other residents who would find use of the roadway essential.
