Progress hinges on grant timing and street repaving set for next year.

Commissions revisited Elyria mayoral idea of area commissions
A Thursday editorial discussed Pauline Leboda s proposal for area commissions of residents from geographic areas to advise the mayor and City Council. Columbus has run them since 1959 and recently boosted per commission funding to 3000 with OSU interns support, though authority remains limited. Seckler noted area commissions influence zoning decisions and other boards, suggesting the idea has merit but may not translate directly to Elyria.
