Cleveland Heights Planning Commission is considering changes to zoning that would allow sponsors to advertise on scoreboards.

Cleveland Heights City Council meets tonight.
Cleveland Heights City Council will consider installing a surveillance system in the Cedar Lee Business District at its regular meeting at 7:30 tonight. The cameras, if approved, would include remote video monitoring and recording systems, according to the agenda. The agenda did not specify where the cameras would be placed in the district.

City Council met Monday night in Council Chambers
City Council had a short agenda Monday night. Here are the highlights: Monticello Boulevard It's time for Phase 3 of the Monticello Boulevard Capital Improvement Project, and council members approved legislation allowing the city manager to apply for state funds. Councilwoman Bonita Caplan said the phase will cost the city around $200,000 and stretches from Belvoir Boulevard to Noble Road. The state will pay roughly $800,000, Caplan said. The city is hoping the state will pay 80 percent so it can pay a 20 percent match, she said. The total cost of the project is roughly $2 million, said Mayor Ed Kelley. Last year, the city paved Monticello from Noble Road to Taylor Road and it is now in the process of repairing Mayfield Road to Lee Road…

About 50 or 60 people packed Cleveland Heights Council Chambers to weigh in on the controversial law
The new curfew ordinance in Cleveland Heights continues to be a hot topic. More than 50 people packed into Council Chambers at Monday’s regular council meeting, some to share their thoughts on the new law that sets curfew at 6 p.m. for people under 18 in the Coventry and Cedar Lee business districts, with several exceptions. And a group of people protested outside of City Hall shortly before the meeting, some who were concerned the law would target black youth. “I’m worried there will be an unfair application of this law, and it will go against black kids,” said Cleveland Heights resident Valerie Robinson. “I think it’s repressive and counter-productive, and I want to know, what have the events that took place at a public gathering of 25,…
