Over the past couple of years dozens of accidents have happened at the intersections of state route 309 at Thayer to Napoleon roads. On Wednesday night ODOT met with people from the Lima-area to discuss plans to help solve this issue. ODOT held a public meeting to discuss their plans for the intersections and receive input on what the community believes is the best option.

Their current project consists of widening 309 and adding turn lanes at Thayer and Napoleon Roads or installing single lane roundabouts at both locations. They have hired consultants Jacobs Engineering Group to design the project. This project is funded by Governor Mike DeWine's intersection safety program.
