Good morning, Portage County. A $11,000 bill for sidewalks is landing on some Chagrin Falls doorsteps this summer, sparking neighborhood debate about the price of pedestrian safety. The nearly $400,000 project along Carriage Stone Drive has divided residents, with some viewing the walkways as essential connectivity while others question the steep investment that comes to either $8,944 upfront or $11,347.83 over a decade. It's a reminder that even concrete improvements come with complicated community decisions.
Meanwhile, Mother Nature seems determined to keep us guessing with a weather rollercoaster headed our way. Thunderstorms and 40 mph winds will transform into snow by Thursday morning, while Cleveland's skyline faces its own unexpected delays as Sherwin-Williams offers corporate buyouts amid setbacks to its towering headquarters project. Like the weather, it seems nothing in Northeast Ohio is quite sticking to schedule this week.

đļââī¸ Chagrin Falls residents face $11,000 bill for new sidewalks. The village council has initiated a project to install sidewalks along Carriage Stone Drive this summer, with construction potentially beginning after spring bidding. While 15 of the 35 residents support the nearly $400,000 project, eight opposed it and 12 didn't respond to the survey. Homeowners can either pay $8,944 upfront or $11,347.83 over ten years for the improvements. Many residents have previously advocated for the sidewalks, citing pedestrian safety and better connectivity to downtown Chagrin Falls.
đĒī¸ Wild weather to blast Greater Akron with thunderstorms and snow. A strong low-pressure system will cross northern Ohio Wednesday, bringing wind gusts up to 40 mph from Tuesday night through Thursday morning. Residents can expect rain and possible thunderstorms Wednesday afternoon, followed by rapidly dropping temperatures that will turn precipitation to snow overnight. Thursday will likely see snow showers with accumulation under half an inch. The National Weather Service predicts a wet March overall with above-average precipitation but normal temperatures in the upper 40s.
đ¨ Sherwin-Williams offers corporate buyouts amid headquarters delays. The Cleveland-based paint giant announced a voluntary separation program allowing eligible employees to leave by June 2025 with enhanced financial support. This move follows internal restructuring aimed at "simplifying management layers" and optimizing supervisor-to-employee ratios in corporate departments. Meanwhile, the company's new 36-story downtown Cleveland headquarters faces setbacks, with fireproof coating issues delaying its opening until later this year instead of late 2024.
