Council discusses short-term rentals
North Royalton City Council is again discussing short-term rentals, after legislation was introduced at the February 5 Council meeting. The proposed ordinance was introduced by Council President Larry Antoskiewicz and Ward 3 Councilman Dan Langshaw.

Frigid temperatures cause water main woes
“Water main breaks are unpredictable,” according to the City of Cleveland, Division of Water (CDW). “A big factor is weather. The colder the weather is for an extended period of time, the more water main breaks occur. Breaks can also occur when there is a sudden increase in water pressure in a water main, such as when a fire hydrant is closed too suddenly.” On Monday, January 28, a 36-inch water main break on Engle Road in Middleburg Heights impacted five communities, including North Royalton. The water main break resulted in little or no water pressure for residents in North Royalt ....
Sprague Road project will benefit from Issue One 2019 Funding
It’s a mixed bag for the city of North Royalton when it comes to the 2019 Issue One Program. The program is a State of Ohio capital infrastructure program. The bad news is that it did not receive a high score on a funding request for the Abbey Road project. The good news is that the County Department of Public Works did score high enough for Phase Two of the Sprague Road project, which lies in North Royalton. It was one of eleven projects that will receive part of the $29.848 million available for the 2019 program. The Issue One program issues a combination of loans and grants that wil ....
