County roundup: Ravenna residents complain of bright LEDs downtown, plus news from Aurora and Shalersville

City council is looking into the bright LED lighting that some of Ravenna’s businesses use that is causing complaints from residents, especially in the commercial areas.

“The people are offended by the lights, which are very bright. They seem to be convenience stores,” Mayor Frank Seman said. “Some of these businesses are right on the edge of residential areas, and we get complaints from people saying they can’t sleep with the lights shining in their windows. We’re going to study the problem and find out what we can do and figure out what limitations we can make. We’d like to recommend wattages so they’re not offensive to the neighbors.”
