From the desk of Mayor Bill Cervenik

It doesn’t look like the cold of winter will be letting up soon. Although the snow and chilly temperatures are keeping us indoors more, there are some great activities here in Euclid you can enjoy during winter months. The C.E. Orr Ice Arena has several public sessions throughout the week to skate. Whether you are old, young or somewhere in between, ice skating is a fun way to not only get exercise, but an enjoyable activity.  The sledding hill on the corner of East 222 Street and Euclid Avenue, behind McDonald’s, is open as well. And for those of us who prefer to stay indoors, there are some terrific movies out this season. The Atlas Cinema Lakeshore 7 has all of the latest movies shown during the day and evening.  And don’t forget, the Euclid Public Library has a vast inventory of movies, both new and the old classics as well. 

Every winter I get phone calls and emails about clearing snow covered streets. The Streets Department does an outstanding job when it comes to snow removal and salting. During a snow event, the crews will plow as frequently as possible but only salt main roads, intersections, hills, curves, bridges and school zones. Remember, after 2” of new snow has fallen, a Parking Ban goes into effect until the street is cleared.

When the snow flies, you can be certain our crews are working hard to keep up with clearing roads. You can do your part by also removing the snow around fire hydrants located on tree lawns.  And please, be certain to help out the elderly: Clear their steps, take in and out garbage cans, and drop in on them to see if they need anything.

Wishing you warmth and good health.

Your Mayor,

Bill Cervenik
