Here are the top three stories in Lakewood today:

1. Two Lakewood roads are temporarily closed due to century-old infrastructure causing sewer failures and sinkholes. Granger Avenue, northbound and southbound at the railroad tracks, is closed for emergency repairs on the storm sewer. Lakewood Public Works Director Chris Gordon expects construction to last roughly a month. Northland Avenue between Hilliard and Margaret avenues is also closed due to a sewer issue. Gordon expects construction to last for about two weeks. (Cleveland.com)

3. With more snow predicted this week, the City of Lakewood asked all residents and business owners to keep their sidewalks cleared of snow and to help keep Lakewood a year-round walkable community.
