INVOLVEMENT OF VISITORS
Icon editor Paula Scott stepped out of her role as a reporter to share an email she sent to board members earlier that day. Scott noted that local residents had attended a recent Bluffton council meeting to express concerns about pedestrian safety on Main St., especially near the High School. She described a Catch-22 situation: the location needs more pedestrians to be considered for a traffic signal, but is avoided because it is considered dangerous.

Joint Personnel Committee & Finance Committee
Friday, February 24
