Boardman Twp. Has Concerns About Installation of Traffic Barriers on Rte. 224
The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) has proposed installing three traffic barriers on US Rte. 224 between the Shops at Boardman Park and Tiffany Blvd.
Boardman Township has concerns about this installation, as it will make it difficult for the township’s safety vehicles to drive through this corridor and make left turns to reach areas in need of Fire or Police Department assistance.
The Township has sent a letter to ODOT explaining these concerns, which you can read by clicking this link.
If you would like to express your views on this subject to ODOT, you can call 330-786-3100, or write a letter to:

New Traffic Signal at Southern Boulvard and Maple
Boardman Township is working with the Ohio Department of Transportation and the Ohio Rail Development Commission on adjusting the new rail/light signalization at Southern Boulevard and Maple in Boardman Township.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is there a signal there?
The Ohio Rail Commission identified the intersection as a safety concern. The new traffic light was designed to stop vehicle traffic and allow rail traffic, as the intersection would not allow for typical crossbars. The project was funded by the Rail Commission through a grant and designed by the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT).
Who is responsible for the traffic light?
Upon completion of the signal, the Township will maintain ownership of the signal for maintenance, but ODOT controls the signal.
When will the traffic light be adjusted?
The Township is working with ODOT to have the light adjusted as soon as possible. The signal could be put into a 6-way stop mode to alleviate traffic congestion southbound on Southern Boulevard as soon as April 23. The signal could go back to full utilization if timing can be optimized.
Can a left-hand turn lane be added on the southbound portion of Southern Boulevard?
Not at this time, as there is not enough road right-of-way at that crossing.
