Editorial: Look out for safety
Is it just our imagination, or are vehicle accidents on the rise in metro Toledo? In a single week, four people were killed or seriously injured in collisions involving drivers making left turns: Judy Tanner, 20, was struck on Sept. 9 while using a crosswalk on Glendale Avenue by an SUV turning left out of the Walmart shopping center. She died the following day. Katelyn Osborn, 34, who was pregnant, was severely injured Friday when a car turning left struck her e-bike on Lagrange Street. Christopher Rupley, 71, died Friday night when his northbound motorcycle collided with a vehicle making a left turn onto Glanzman Road from Byrne Road. John Crapsey, 58, was critically injured late Friday night when his motorcycle collided with a vehicle turning left on State Rt. 2 near Eber Road. During that same stretch, 75-year-old bicyclist Robert Meeker died after he fell from his bicycle into traffic on University Hills Boulevard. While legal fault in each case remains under investigation, the common denominator is clear: vulnerable road users — pedestrians, cyclists, e-bikers, and motorcyclists — are bearing the brunt of devastating injuries that a driver inside a protective steel frame would likely survive.

Four blocks of 11th Street changed to two-way traffic
Four blocks of 11th Street in downtown Toledo have been converted from one-way to two-way traffic. The change was implemented this week between Monroe and Jackson streets, with traffic signals installed for southbound traffic at Jefferson Avenue and at Monroe, and a four-way stop set up at 11th and Madison Avenue. Eleventh remains one-way northbound between Washington and Monroe streets — a block where it handles a substantial volume of traffic off the Indiana Avenue/Washington Street exit from southbound I-75 — while Do Not Enter signs on the southbound stoplight masts at Monroe warn drivers against continuing south there. The change is consistent with other recent changes by the Toledo Department of Transportation to reduce the number of one-way streets in the downtown area.

Road Warrior: Intersection work to start at Monroe and Douglas
With work now finished at Cherry and Bancroft streets, the second half of a city contract for rebuilding two intersections starts Tuesday at Monroe Street and Douglas Road. The Toledo Department of Transportation advised motorists to expect lane closings there for the next six weeks. Don’t plan on using Sylvania Avenue as an alternate route on Tuesday. City officials announced separately that lane closings are planned that day only at Buell Avenue for work associated with water line and roadway reconstruction. Buell is just west of Douglas on Sylvania. Beyond that, Sylvania or Central avenues are the best alternatives to Monroe between Secor Road and the ProMedica Toledo Hospital area during this work. For traffic that uses the Douglas Road ramps on I-475, such as University of Toledo commuters, the best alternative route is ProMedica Parkway and Central Avenue to Douglas. Upton Avenue is a local alternative to the affected portion of Douglas. **** A long-planned removal of Central Avenue’s bridge over Buckeye Street near I-280 also is scheduled to start this week. City officials said in 2019 that they planned to eliminate the bridge, which was at the time one of a handful Toledo bridges rated in poor condition,
