Diana Colavecchio attended her final Cuyahoga Falls City Council meeting on Monday, and submitted the following letter to peers, constituents and Patch readers.
A letter to peers, constituents and Patch readers from Diana Colavecchio: After seven years of serving the residents of Cuyahoga Falls as a Council Representative for Ward 5, I have decided to serve them in a different capacity.

The road widening and traffic improvement project will cost $4.3 million and could cut into the properties of some local businesses, including Krieger's Health Foods Market.
Last year, Cuyahoga Falls and Stow city officials asked the Ohio Department of Transportation to call off the Graham Road widening project. This past December, ODOT ruled that the plan was moving forward. On Wednesday night at Stow City Hall, the proposed next steps were laid out by Arcadis design engineer Shane Gault. Gault said the project was given the green light due to a lack of safety and an abundance of traffic congestion, and offered facts, figures, graphs and matrices to back up his assertions.

Under these various options, the road would be …
