Flooding, development, and tax protests in Lorain County
North Ridgeville flood risk worsened by rapid Lorain Road and southern development adding impervious surfaces. Residents oppose a new monthly tax to solve flooding, noting already collected runoff fees and outside-engineer hired aides. School plans to remove wetlands and pave land, while taxpayers may fund wetlands elsewhere and retention basins. Local letters accuse City Hall and engineers of short-sighted planning and tax overreach. A second letter critiques county transit proposals and long-term funding, urging residents to resist higher taxes amid calls for mass transit and federal aid.
