All aboard the #9 Lima-Bluffton bus

A visit to the Allen County Museum using public bus

By Paula Scott

On August 17, the Icon tagged along for a ride on the Route 9 bus provided by the Allen County Regional Transit Authority. I joined a small but sociable group from the Bluffton Senior Citizens Center for a visit to the Allen County Historical Society and Museum, 620 W. Market Street.

My purpose was to investigate the bus-riding opportunity, which has been available since June 2021, but the group's destination was an added temptation. Senior center director Tonya Meyer was our leader, providing information about fares and recommending a brown bag lunch. I hurried over to the Dough Hook for a quick sandwich and drink, asking Marlena Ballinger what was her fastest sandwich--smoked turkey was on the slicer.

Bluffton Icon Facebook technical difficulties

Posted by Paula Scott on July 26, 2022 - 7:33am

UPDATE: Our access to Facebook has been restored and your viewer access may in fact not have been interrupted. However, we'll be updating a few posts that have been lost in the process.

--------------

The Bluffton Icon's Facebook page service has been interrupted on the morning of July 26. Our switch to the new Pages experience was bumpy, so we opted to switch back to the Classic view.

The result for now is no Bluffton Icon Facebook page. We'll keep you posted.

Task force on street safety

Posted by Paula Scott on June 28, 2022 - 5:37am

Does the "complete streets" concept ring a bell? The Village of Bluffton has created a Complete Streets Task force to create a plan to improve the safety of walkers and bike riders.

On June 22 the Icon joined a stroll along several streets with a small group task force members, Allen County health and planning staffers, and residents to test drive a feedback form, a.k.a. "Sidewalks, streets, and crossings walk audit."
