Do you agree with Tim Gamauf? Tell us in the comments.
Here's yet another Fairlawn resident who's weighing in on the proposed McDonald's that developers hope to build at the corner of Shiawassee Avenue and West Market Street. Tim Gamauf wrote: I am against the proposed McDonald's being built. Abington Rd. will turn into the preferred high-speed shortcut route to and from the proposed fast food restaurant. Abington Rd. is a residential street with four-way stops and no sidewalks. Residents use Abington Rd. to jog and walk - on the street. Kids bicycle and walk to their school bus stop - on the street. Safety will be compromised by the increased traffic traveling over the speed limit and running stop signs morning to late-night 365 days/year. Trash thrown out to the street will be an eyesore. As…

The plan to build a McDonald's at the corner of Shiawassee and West Market was tabled in November.
The proponents of a new McDonald's at the corner of Shiawassee and West Market Street will not be at the December 13 Planning Commission meeting. McDonald's representatives presented their plan for a 4,500-square foot restaurant to the commission on Nov. 8 and explained that drive-thru would account for 70 percent of the customer base. However, representatives asked the plan to be tabled after several residents asked questions that couldn't be answered. Commission members told representatives they could return with a new plan in December. McDonald's representatives also tabled two variance requests that were on November's Board of Zoning Appeals agenda. Below are the articles written about the plan. What else would you like to know about …

Several of Fairlawn-Bath Patch's Facebook fans have sounded off on this development and say building a McDonald's is a bad idea, especially with one so …

The land used to be a gas station, but has been vacant for years.
Fairlawn's Mayor William Roth has known for at least a month who wanted to buy the vacant land at the corner of West Market Street and Shiawassee Avenue, but he couldn't go on the record. Now it's official: McDonald's wants to buy the parcels, making it the third of its kind on the same road. Click here to see a map of the locations.

Here are some of the weirdest police reports and incidents from departments across the region.
Here are this week's most bizarre police calls, reports and charges. All information was provided by police reports from departments in Patch communities.

I agree with Mr. Gamauf. Abington Rd will become a cut through from McDonalds to cars going East to Market St. We do not want a McDonalds anymore than the residents of Rosemont want Wallmart. The only difference is, Rosemont residents do not have a say since Walmart is in Copley, but we do because Mcdonalds wants to go in in Fairlawn and we live in Fairlawn. I hope the BZA WILL LISTEN TO THE … more ›
