We made it through election season and now we can get back to the day-to-day management of our local government. On this edition of Norwood in Nine, I break down the top takeaways from tonight’s 43-minute city council meeting. While I won’t claim to be an expert on Norwood’s issues, I try to keep up with things.
After an unusually brief Council meeting at the end of October, this outing was even shorter. Why might that be? I offer a hypothesis on the show. Additionally, you’ll hear about other top takeaways, including traffic calming, the Joseph Volkswagen project, and lots of sowing from the mayor. Check it out:

On the last episode, I got a question about traffic calming. If you’re not familiar with the concept, it refers to any action a municipality could take to reduce vehicle speeds and increase pedestrian safety. Read this article to see some specific tactics.
I mentioned the site of the proposed Joseph Volkswagen dealership. If you had trouble picturing it, here is where it may go.

Good article on traffic calming, I learned a few new techniques. Unfortunately none of them cover my favorite approach, which is to scream at drivers when they have their windows down, and they’re going 50 mph.
LOL. You and Ian M. both. I was in his front lawn when he yelled at someone to stop as they approached a stop sign on Williams. Whereas it looked like they were going to roll through, after hearing his voice they came to an abrupt and complete stop. Very impressive.
