Tell ODOT District 1 Deputy Director Kirk Slusher--who's based in Lima--about the dangers you see at Main St. and College Ave. Call (419) 999-6804 or email kirk.slusher@dot.state.oh.us. Help send the message that we need to do more to protect residents and visitors! SAMPLE LETTER Dear Mr. Slusher, Pedestrian safety on Main St. at College Ave. in Bluffton continues to be a problem since the traffic signal was removed from this intersection in 2009. Traffic counts don’t include the many close calls experienced by pedestrians and drivers at this location, they don’t measure the anxiety felt by parents, and they don’t factor in the resulting lack of freedom experienced by children. Applying a standard formula to this location isn’t serving the interests of Bluffton residents and visitors. We need a traffic signal at Main St. and College! Sincerely, [your name and contact information] More about District 1: http://www.dot.state.oh.us/…/DeputyDirec…/Pages/default.aspx
