Resident urges stop signs, lower speeds at Simon Kenton Bike Path crossings
Summary
At the Oct. 29 Logan County commissioners meeting, resident Annette Sidders urged replacing yield signs with stop signs at road crossings of the Simon Kenton Bike Path and asked for a 35 mph speed limit at crossings; commissioners directed follow-up with local groups and the sheriff's office.
Annette Sidders, a local resident, told the Board of Logan County Commissioners on Oct. 29 that motorists frequently fail to stop at road crossings of the Simon Kenton Bike Path and urged that yield signs at those crossings be replaced with stop signs and that the speed limit be reduced to 35 mph at crossing points. She also said some nearby property owners use shooting targets and that shots are being fired toward the path, which she described as an ongoing safety concern.
Commissioner Mark A. Robinson suggested Ms. Sidders contact the Simon Kenton Pathfinders to address signage, and Commissioner Michael E. Yoder said he would speak with Sheriff Dodds about the reported target shooting on adjacent properties. No formal action or vote was taken; the board tabled further steps pending follow-up from the sheriff's office and interested community groups.
