CLARIFICATION: The Village of Bluffton is conducting inspections of all structures served by a public sanitary sewer with a focus on the presence of sump pumps and their connections.

Letters have not yet been sent out to all addresses. Every property in town will receive a Sanitary Compliance Inspection Request that must be completed before this project is complete. Please keep an eye open for these communications.

This week the weather is cooperating with plans for The Usual Suspects to play from 5:00-7:00 p.m. in the alley next to Roots By Strattons, 111 S. Main St.

Bring a lawn chair and enjoy the live music in a downtown "pocket-park."

Does the "complete streets" concept ring a bell? The Village of Bluffton has created a Complete Streets Task force to create a plan to improve the safety of walkers and bike riders.

On June 22 the Icon joined a stroll along several streets with a small group task force members, Allen County health and planning staffers, and residents to test drive a feedback form, a.k.a. "Sidewalks, streets, and crossings walk audit."
