Mentor City Council — 2026-01-06
A resident told council that plows throw snow and slush onto Mentor Avenue sidewalks and that the Garfield Road I-90 and Center Street overpasses leave pedestrians walking in the street. Council acknowledged the city may be undermanned on sidewalk plows and promised to look into it.
