Resident asks Granville police to monitor Main/Church intersection after property rehab
Summary
A new property owner told the Village Board Oct. 6 she plans sidewalk work and a possible coffee shop at Church and Main and reported impatient, erratic traffic there; the Board asked Police Chief Ernie Bassett Jr. to provide occasional monitoring and patrols.
At the Oct. 6 meeting, property owner Kirstin Thomas told the Granville Village Board she is rehabbing the building at the corner of Church and Main, plans to install a new sidewalk and is considering a coffee shop in the front of the property. Thomas said she has observed impatient traffic at the intersection, including erratic starts and stops and disruptive language, and asked whether the Police Department could periodically monitor the area.
Deputy Mayor Dean Hyatt expressed agreement with the concerns and asked Police Chief Ernie Bassett Jr. to provide coverage. The Police Chief said the department could monitor and provide better coverage at that intersection. The Board also initiated a broader conversation about public-safety issues including sidewalks and e-bikes but did not adopt any new policy at the meeting.
The Board did not set a formal traffic study or ordinance change at the Oct. 6 meeting; the immediate next step conveyed in the record is occasional police monitoring of the intersection while the property owner proceeds with the planned rehab.
