Traffic study at Ohio and Ruth Rusie Drive
The area around Ohio Street and Ruth Rusie Drive is getting busy fast — a new Turkey Hill, a coffee shop, restaurants, and a 160-home subdivision nearby. The commission approved a $3,900 study so the city knows what road improvements might be needed and can show developers the groundwork is done.
