Council member Bonacci discusses pedestrian access improvements with local Cub Scouts

The City of Twinsburg Council convened on April 8, 2025, to address various community matters, including public safety, local initiatives, and community engagement.

The meeting began with council members discussing unfinished and new business. Mr. Bonacci shared his recent experience with local Cub Scouts, where he emphasized the importance of community input in governance. He highlighted a suggestion from a young scout for improved pedestrian access and the addition of a paved trail alongside a mountain bike trail, allowing for inclusivity among residents with different abilities. This perspective was noted as a valuable insight into the council's efforts to represent all community members.

Mr. Bonacci also extended condolences to the family of Fran Turrell, a beloved long-time resident and city employee, who recently passed away at the age of 90. His remarks reflected the community's loss and appreciation for her contributions.

Council member Mr. Bellen acknowledged the recent severe weather, thanking the police and fire departments for their swift response to a house fire in Corbetts Farm caused by a lightning strike. Fortunately, there were no injuries, but the home was rendered uninhabitable. He mentioned a GoFundMe initiative to support the affected family, encouraging community members to contribute.

Additionally, Mr. Bellen reminded residents about the Twinsburg flags initiative organized by the local Rotary Club. This program, which involves placing flags around town five times a year, serves as a fundraiser for both the scouts and the Rotary. He encouraged residents to order flags to support this community effort, emphasizing the importance of patriotism and community service.

The meeting concluded with no further comments from other council members, marking a productive session focused on community welfare and engagement. The council's commitment to listening to residents and fostering community spirit was evident throughout the discussions.
