Richland County hears near-complete traffic study for CR81 and CR2; two bridges submitted for grant removal
Summary
At its Oct. 21 meeting the Richland County Board of Commissioners heard that a traffic study for CR81 and CR2 is nearly finished and that two bridges have been submitted for removal on a Bridge Flex Fund grant; the commission also discussed winter storage for a county health trailer.
The Richland County Board of Commissioners on Oct. 21 heard from Highway Department official Jesse Sedler that the traffic study for County Roads CR81 and CR2 is almost complete and that Interstate Engineering is waiting on the five-year crash history to finish the report.
The update matters for county planning and road-safety decisions: the five-year crash history is a standard data input for engineering recommendations that could affect speed limits, signage, or capital improvements. Sedler also told the commission he submitted two bridges for removal on the Bridge Flex Fund grant application and said he obtained approval from the affected township for those submissions.
Sheri Ruhl provided a brief staffing update, reporting that extra patrols were on duty over the weekend, and commissioners discussed options for storing the Health Department trailer during the winter months. No final storage location was announced.
Sedler's timeline for the traffic study hinges on receipt of the crash-history file from Interstate Engineering; the commission did not take formal action on the study at the meeting.
