Whereas, Codified Ordinance Section 305.01 established a Traffic Control Map to show at all times current traffic control matters and amendments may be made to the Traffic Control Map pursuant to Section 305.03 of the Codified Ordinances; and
Whereas, the Village Council has determined that (i) the Traffic Control Map needs to be amended to provide that the intersection of East Orange Street, North Street and Mill Street become a permanent 3-way stop which has been determined to be necessary after making it a temporary 3-way stop at the beginning of the Main Street Bridge Replacement Project.
Now Therefore, Be It Ordained by the Council of the Village of Chagrin Falls, Cuyahoga County, State of Ohio:
Section 1. Appendix A to Chapter 305 of the Codified Ordinances is hereby amended, in part, to add the following requirements:
- (A) The intersection of East Orange Street, North Street and Mill Street shall become a permanent 3-way stop with stop signs installed at each street of the intersection.
Section 2. The Police Department is hereby directed to amend the Traffic Control Map in accordance with Section 1 of this Ordinance, and to enforce the 3-way stop intersection at East Orange Street, North Street and Mill Street in accordance with the Traffic Control Map, as amended, from and after the effective date of this Ordinance. A copy of the Traffic Control Map, as so amended, shall be attached to and incorporated as part of the Traffic Code.
Section 3. That actions of this Council concerning and relating to the passage of this legislation were adopted in lawful meetings of this Council and that all deliberations of this Council and of any of its committees that resulted in such formal action were in compliance with all legal requirements, including Chapter 114 of the Codified Ordinances of the Village of Chagrin Falls.
Section 4. That in accordance with Section 113.01 of the Codified Ordinances of the Village of Chagrin Falls, public notice of this Ordinance shall be given by posting a copy thereof for not less than fifteen (15) days on the Village Website.
Section 5. This Ordinance is hereby declared to be an emergency measure immediately necessary for the preservation of the public peace, health and safety of the inhabitants of the Village and for the further reason that in order to safely deal with a 3-way intersection a 3-way stop sign as provided in Section 1 of this Ordinance needs to be immediately effective; wherefore, provided it receives the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds (⅔) of all members elected to Council, this Ordinance shall be in full force and effect from and immediately upon its passage and approval by the Mayor, otherwise it shall take effect and be in force after the earliest period allowed by law.
