Orphan West Third Street addition fails as emergency measure

Elyria residents failed to push an ordinance to accept dedication of West Third Street west of West River Street. The measure lacked emergency passage and was tabled for study after only seven council members were present and five voted in favor. The street is privately owned land with no city maintenance, yet carries sewers and service lines. Solicitor Richard Baird said the city cannot act without deeds. Councilmen discussed petitions and paving assessments, and planning commission will review the proposal.
