You Asked. I Listened.

You asked. I listened.

Residents asked why we didn’t have a playground that was ADA-compliant. Residents asked why other communities have more family-friendly activities.

I heard you. First, I championed the Surrarrer playground for children of all abilities (built in 2018, with additions in 2019). Then this summer, I created the Outdoor Movie Night, complete with inflatables and other free activities. Over 1000 attended!

There’s more we can do. But I need your help to keep these kinds of activities and amenities coming to Strongsville!

Please remember to vote to #KeepKellyinWard3! And tell your friends.   #KeepKelly #FamiliesFirst #YouAskedKellyListened

Alert: Prospect at Railroad Tracks to Be Closed Starting on 10/21

Ward 3 Residents —

I have good news and bad news.

Bad news first:

Starting Oct. 21, Prospect (at Westwood) will be closed for 3-5 days. Detours will be posted. (Point of clarification: Westwood will remain open.)

The good news:

CSX will be repairing the pavement at the railroad tracks (Prospect & Westwood), which is sorely needed. This responds to many residents concerns about this portion of road. I’m glad that CSX has responded to our requests, even if the timing isn’t ideal for traffic. Thank you for your patience.

Strongsville Leads the Way on Prohibiting the Sale of Vaping Equipment to Children.

On April 22, 2019, Strongsville Council listened when Ward 2 Councilwoman Ann Roff and I said that we needed to act to protect our kids from the dangers associated with vaping. Yesterday, Ohio’s Governor spoke about the dangers of vaping, particularly as to our children.  He is supporting efforts to limit access to vaping.

I am proud that we recognized this early in Strongsville and applaud the state’s efforts to address this on a state-wide level.

New Restaurants Coming to the North End of Pearl Road.

Update regarding re-development efforts on the North end of Pearl Road:

Did you know that Starbucks and Burger King are planning to build in Ward 3? They intend to build restaurants where La Siesta is currently located. This is in addition to Culver’s, which has broken ground at Jennifer’s former location, and Arby’s, which has been granted variances to build at the old Mad Cactus location.

These businesses will offer some additional options and convenience to north-end residents and will help bring some new economic activity to the north end.
