Two-week Poe Rd. closure in Bowling Green starts June 10
BOWLING GREEN — Poe Road between Brim Road and Village Drive will be closed beginning June 10. City crews will be connecting the new waterline, which was installed as part of the Village subdivision waterline improvements project, to the existing water main. This closure is expected for two weeks and is dependent on weather and progress of work. Access to and from driveways for residents will be maintained. Village residents and those who live along Poe within the closure should have their refuse/recycling containers placed at the curb by 6 a.m. the morning of collection.
ODOT plans new roundabouts in intersection safety package
Three new roundabouts in Wood County plus others in Henry, Fulton, and Defiance counties are part of an $86.9 million package of safety-oriented projects the Ohio Department of Transportation announced statewide. The projects that Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine and ODOT Director Jack Marchbanks announced Thursday also include “intersection improvements” at Alexis Road and North Detroit Avenue in North Toledo. All but a handful of the 28 projects in 22 counties are at intersections, and 19 projects involve building single-lane roundabouts at mostly rural locations where ODOT said crashes are frequent, although the announcement did not include crash data. “When it comes to our roadways, safety will always be our top priority,” Gov. DeWine said. “Our goal is to save lives by investing to improve dangerous intersections.”

New library on wheels starts rolling across Wood County
BOWLING GREEN — As Lauren Canaday Johnson steered the new Wood County District Public Library bookmobile into the parking lot of a senior apartment complex this week, she didn’t realize she would change a life. A woman in her 60s with mobility issues, who is unable to get to the brick-and-mortar library, boarded the bookmobile, using the ramp. She checked out 32 books, said Ms. Johnson, who is the bookmobile and outreach supervisor. “She said it was like Christmas for her,” Ms. Johnson said. The bookmobile regularly stops at schools, daycares, senior living areas, apartment complexes, and tiny villages in Wood County, such as Tontogany and Rudolph. It covers places that aren’t near the Bowling Green or Walbridge branch libraries, and reaches people who can’t get to them, said Ken Frisch, library board president.
