Dear Village of Bluffton council members, Mayor Augusburger, and Mr. Mehaffie,
Thank you so much for listening to my concerns about pedestrian safety at the intersection of College and Main at your streets and alleys committee meeting on May 18.
Since that meeting, I have observed vehicle and pedestrian traffic before and after school. On Tuesday, May 19, I counted 200 cars in the intersection in the 15-minute span between 3 and 3:15 p.m. Only two drivers stopped to allow pedestrians to use the crosswalk.
The second annual Be A Beaver Triathlon is set for tomorrow (May 30) in Bluffton.
Beginning at 9 a.m. at the Bluffton Community Swimming Pool, the event will include a 400-meter pool swim, a 20-kilometer bike on nearby country roads and a 5K run through village streets and the Bluffton University Nature Preserve.
Proceeds will help the university’s cross country and track and field teams cover their costs to attend out-of-state invitational meets.
