Bluffton council will discuss a draft of legislation to regulate access to public streets in the village on Monday evening.
Titled “an access management plan,” it came about specifically to address road cuts on State Route 103 between County Line Road and Interstate 75.
Council’s ordinance committee (Joe Selhorst, Mitch Kingsley) met on Dec. 3. They have worked with Tom Mazur, of Lima Allen County Regional Planning Commission, and Choice One, an engineering firm, used by the village to craft a draft for discussion.
