Summary
During public comment on Oct. 9, residents reported a serious crash on Germantown Pike and urged a traffic study; Councilmember Marcus reported a streetlight glare complaint at Mays and Ned and the city manager said she would contact Miami Valley Lighting.
MORAINE, Ohio — Multiple residents raised safety concerns during public comment at the Moraine City Council meeting on Oct. 9, reporting a recent crash on Germantown Union Road and asking the city to reassess traffic safety. Councilmember Marcus also relayed a neighborhood complaint that a streetlight at Mays and Ned shines into nearby homes.
Doris Fisher, who lives at 6919 Germantown Pike, described a wreck that occurred that day near Germantown Union Road and suggested the incident could be verified by the police department. Fisher said crashes in the area "happen quite often" and disputed earlier characterizations that traffic is not an issue. "When they say it's not traffic's not an issue, that we don't need a traffic study, it's an issue," she said.
Councilmember Marcus said residents at the corner of Mays and Ned have been using black trash bags to block the light from a streetlamp that shines into their homes. City Manager (name not provided) said she would contact Miami Valley Lighting to inquire whether the fixture can be re-aimed or otherwise adjusted to reduce glare.
No formal traffic‑study motion or schedule was adopted at the meeting; residents were directed to the police department for incident verification and the city manager committed to follow up with the lighting provider.
