Ward 3 E-Newsletter: March 2019

Greetings Ward 3 Resident,

We are slowly getting closer to Spring. Today is Daylight Savings Time, as friendly reminder it might also be a good idea to check all batteries in the smoke detectors in your home to make sure they work. City government remains relatively busy with a number of things to report on below.

I’m on the Ballot
I have recently filed my petitions with the Cuyahoga County Board of Elections to seek re-election for a fourth term as your Ward 3 Councilman on the North Royalton City Council. I am happy to report that my petitions have been validated by the Board of Elections and I am officially on the ballot for the November 5th General Election! I look forward to going door to door very soon to listen to your concerns and feedback on what you want for the future of Ward 3 and the City of North Royalton!

Have a great Weekend and an early Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

Dan Langshaw
Ward 3 Councilman
North Royalton City Council




Council Update

Highlights from Council Meetings
Some highlights from the Council Meetings for the month of February. Council approved Ordinance 19-09 and Ordinance 19-10 to purchase vehicles for the Police Department. Council Also approved Ordinance 19-11 for a vehicle for the Fire Department. 

Short-Term Rental Legislation Update
Council President Larry Antoskiewicz and I are co-sponsoring Ordinance 19-13 that would provide some basic regulations to short term rental properties in the city. I do not want homes becoming hotels in residential zoned areas but at the same time, want to protect homeowners’ rights to such rentals and do not want the city’s current short-term rental moratorium to be dragged any longer than it needs to be. The legislation is currently on third reading and in the Building & Building Codes Committee for further discussion. Read More.

City Update


Auditor of State Award
Recently the State Auditor Keith Faber visited our city and personally presented the City of North Royalton with the Auditor of State Award for its thorough and accurate financial record keeping.
Special thanks to our Finance Director Eric Dean for all he does to ensure our city’s finances are in order! Read More.

Deer Update
Deer archery hunting season has ended with the total number of about 144 taken in North Royalton for 2018. Here in Ward 3 there were 15 deer that were taken. A positive statistic to note is in 2018 there were 51 deer related car crashes that were reported. This is a decrease from the  95 that that were reported in 2017. Overall the third year of this program went well with minimal issues. 


Route 82 Widening Project Update
Work continues on widening of Route 82 between W. 130th Street and York Road. I have received some complaints last month about the center line being hard to see. Working with the County and Engineering Department they have re-stripe the center line of the road a few weeks ago to ensure motorist safety. The contractor has a standing order to re-stripe the center line as often as it is needed. Unfortunately, the weather has not always been cooperative.  Weather too cold, or too wet, does not allow the paint to dispense or adhere.  The replacement water main is approximately 75% installed and should be be completed by mid-March.  Installation of the sanitary sewer extension across the street from the Service Center has been completed.  Storm sewer work has begun and will continue over the winter months. The large storm culvert near the Service Center has been replaced, and the storm culvert west of Abbey Road is scheduled to be replaced soon.  In order to minimize disruption to the traveling public, this work is anticipated to be performed at nighttime. Also beware of speed limit changes from 35mph to 25mph as well. The Cuyahoga County Public Works Department is responsible for construction of this project.  Any questions should be directed to their field office in North Royalton at 440-628-9229.

Tax Assistance
Are you looking for tax assistance? AARP Foundation Tax-Aide offers free tax preparation to anyone of any age-especially if you are 50 or older or can’t afford paid tax preparation. Every Wednesday, beginning February 6 through April 10, 2019 from 9:30am -12:30pm. at the North Royalton Public Library 5071 Wallings Road returns are electronically filed with the assistance of a tax counselor. Appointments are also available in person at the North Royalton Senior Center or by calling the center 440-582-6333.

Read More.

Cuyahoga County Farm Bureau

Guest Speaker at Valley Vista Elementary School
On February 27th it was great to be a guest speaker at Valley Vista Elementary School for the entire 3rd grade! I enjoyed teaching the students about how local government works, the different branches of government, and U.S. Constitution.

Royal View Elementary School Family Literacy Night
On February 28th it was great to be a local celebrity reader for Royal View Elementary School’s Fifth Annual Family Literacy Night. I had fun reading the book Veterans Heroes in Our Neighborhood by Valerie Pfundstein to the students. Special thanks to the Teachers and Staff at Royal View Elementary School for organizing this family fun event!

Safety Reminder

The North Royalton Police Department has seen an increase in thefts of items from unlocked vehicles in recent days. Entry is gained into these vehicles by opening unlocked doors and gaining access to steal anything of value. Residents should try to park in well-lit areas and lock all vehicles when left unattended; please remove purses, wallets and anything of value.  Most of these thefts are made when criminals sneak around and peek into car windows and open garages. If they do not see anything good, they will move on to someone else’s property.  Call the North Royalton Police Department at 440-237-8686 if you see something or someone that looks suspicious.

Ward 3 Recycling Tip of the Month
Did you know plastic bags are recyclable? Since our curbside recycling program does not accept plastic shopping bags, most people believe that they can’t be recycled at all.  Thankfully, most people are mistaken.  When dropped off at many local retail locations, such as Giant Eagle, Lowe’s, Marc’s. Target, Kohl’s and Walmart.  Check with your local store to confirm the types of plastic bags and film they will accept as the list may vary.

Hosts Needed Still for Ward 3 Neighborhood Meet & Greets?
Something new I want to try out for 2019 is doing Neighborhood Meet & Greets throughout Ward 3. I need some residents who are willing to volunteer to host the meeting at their homes anytime this year that is convenient for them. The purpose of these meetings is to get to know me better as your Councilman, share ideas or concerns for the city/ward, and to get to know your neighbors a little better too. If you are interested in being a host home please email me at ward3@northroyalton.org or call me at 440-785-4240 for more information. Thank you for your help!

Ward 3 E-Newsletter: July 2016

Greetings Ward 3 Resident,

Today July 4th marks the 240th birthday for our nation. For generations we as Americans have been blessed to live freely. It is easy to forget sometimes the true meaning behind Independence Day. Abraham Lincoln said it best “Government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the Earth”. A big reason why we are a free and great nation is because of the sacrifices made by our brave men and woman in the US Military. So today if you see a veteran or a service member in uniform, thank them for their service.

As City Council approaches its’ upcoming summer recess in August there are still a number of things going on in your City Government to update you on below.

Ward 3 E-Newsletter: December 2015

Greetings Ward 3 Resident,

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving with their family and friends! Wow, Christmas is just around the corner. As we approach the end of 2015, things remain relatively busy in City Government with much to update you on.


Thank You
Before I get into my update below. I just like to take a moment and thank you the residents for recently re-electing in the November 3rd General Election to serve another two-year term on City Council. Legendary professional boxer Muhammad Ali once said “Service to others is the rent you pay for your room here on earth”. This quote sums up pretty well why I enjoy what I do. It is one simple word, which is service. It is my honor to serve the over 5,500 residents that call North Royalton Ward 3 home and being their voice on City Council. On November 25th I was officially sworn in for my second elected term on City Council. I look forward to continuing to serve Ward 3!
