College-Main intersection discussion on Bluffton council's Monday agenda
Bluffton council will address the College Avenue-Main Street intersection on Monday.
The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) removed the intersection’s traffic light when the streetscape program was created. The stoplight’s absence has been a continual point of discussion from citizens and the village.
Bluffton resident Paula Scott is asking council to look into various options to create a safer intersection.
Council’s packet (an attachment at the bottom of this story) provides several pages of information and drawings pertaining to the intersection.
In other business, Jamie Mehaffie, village administrator, will update council on the June high water in the village. His report to council indicates that nearly 1,000 sandbags were filled and made available to residents in flood-prone areas of the village.
Mosquito season arrived this month. Weather permitting, mosquito spraying will take place on Wednesday evening in Bluffton.
Several additional items are on Monday’s agenda. Those are found in the attachment at the bottom of this story.
