Public Safety Information

Motorists are advised to be aware of temporary lane restrictions, detours, and intermittent delays on State Route 42 at the intersection of North Street and Corwin Avenue. Several years ago, the Village submitted a grant proposal to the State for the installation of a traffic light at this intersection; the proposal was approved, and construction is currently underway.

I want to clarify that this is a project being conducted by the Ohio Department of Transportation and is under State authority. Despite my efforts to reach out to the State for measures to improve safety at the intersection during construction, I have not received a response.

I have also noticed some misinformation circulating on social media regarding this project. Please understand that the Village has no control over this project, and since it is a State Route, we are unable to intervene in operations or traffic patterns.

To enhance safety, the Village Police Department will conduct extra patrols in the area to reduce violations. We recommend using alternative routes during this construction phase or proceeding with caution.

Respectfully Submitted,

Chief Copeland
