FROM THE ADA ICON - Owlsburg - once a school,  a church, a tractor dealership, and most recently a bar - gets a new lease on life as a family restaurant.

New owner David "Rico" Rodriguez plans to open Cherico's Restaurant at the corner of State Route 235 and Old Route 30. Target date for opening is November.

A major renovation is underway on the structure, probably 150 years old, with efforts to save some of the past handiwork such as the yellow pine floor and the stamped tile ceiling made of tin.

Regional Planning commits $50,000 for traffic study on SR 103

Posted by Fred Steiner on September 21, 2015 - 11:56am

A much-needed study of Bluffton’s busy State Route 103 corridor between Interstate 75 and County Line Road is in motion.

Monday evening Bluffton council is prepared to approve preliminary legislation to authorize the study.

The Transportation Coordinating Committee (TCC) of the Lima-Allen County Regional Planning Commission has approved $50,000 for the study. No Bluffton funds will be used unless the study exceeds $50,000. At that point, the village contributes to the project.

Sign of the times: Yield here to pedestrians

Posted by Fred Steiner on September 21, 2015 - 11:31am

Bluffton's new crosswalk signs are now in place at Main Street and College Avenue.

"This is a great improvement for students who cross before and after school, and for all pedestrians who need to cross at this intersection," said Paula Scott, who has worked with village officials on this project.

"I've been talking with the Village of Bluffton and the Ohio Department of Transportation about creating more enhanced conspicuity so that the signs replicate the message of the in-street design originally recommended by ODOT," she said.
