City officials already have contracting authority and some projects completed. Now, they need council’s go-ahead to pay for the projects.
CORRECTION: Not all of the $6.4 million council is consdering is for new projects. Finance director Jenn Pae explains: "The $3.9 million in Bond Anticipation Notes are for work projects completed in 2011 and 2012, which included the projects you listed as well as streets projects and Detroit Ave. signalization.

But all those plans are now on hold, until at least 2014. City officials were hoping to get started on the $2.5 million repaving of all of Madison Avenue in the summer of 2013, but the plan for additional funding assistance from Cuyahoga County fell through.
