State officials responding to dangerous intersection

Con­cerns about crashes at the inter­sec­tion of Rt. 18 and West Road in Welling­ton Town­ship are being addressed by the state, but there won’t be a traf­fic sig­nal or blink­ing lights installed there.

In July, town­ship res­i­dent Jim Bar­bor sent a let­ter to Ken Car­ney, the Lorain County engi­neer, address­ing con­cerns he had about the intersection.

Bar­bor said high grass and weeds at the inter­sec­tion impairs vis­i­bil­ity of dri­vers cross­ing the inter­sec­tion. He also felt there needed to be more warn­ing of the dan­ger­ous inter­sec­tion while trav­el­ing either direc­tion on West Road.
