Hey, friends. It's Wednesday in Lakewood and I'm back in your inbox to get you caught up on all the most important things happening in town.

But first, today's weather:

Cloudy. High: 42 Low: 38.

📢 I'm looking for business owners and marketers in Lakewood who want to build awareness, connect with customers and increase sales.

I have a limited number of sponsorships available to introduce our readers to local businesses they need to know. If that's you, then I invite you to learn more and secure your spot now.

Here are the top three stories today in Lakewood:

1. The Lakewood Scooter Share Pilot Program has ended for 2022. The pilot program allowed residents to use several temporary scooter stations throughout Lakewood. Now that the program has ended, the data collected will be analyzed to determine the next steps for the scooter program. Residents will also be invited to share their thoughts in an upcoming survey.

2. On Jan. 8, the Lakewood Fire Department will be holding its first car seat safety check of 2023. The event will run from 9:00 a.m. until 12:00 p.m. at Fire Station No. 1. Families who wish to have their car seats installed or checked for safety are welcome to stop by this free event. (City of Lakewood, Ohio - Municipal Government via Facebook)
