LIMA–The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) District 1, invites the public to a meeting regarding a proposed project to improve the safety of the State Road 81 and Thayer Road intersection in Lima, Allen County.
The meeting will be held Thursday, September 21, 2023, from 1-3 p.m. and 6-8 p.m. at the Union Chapel Missionary Church, 4869 Ada Road, Lima. Attendees need only attend one of the two sessions. The same information will be presented at each meeting.
The proposed project is evaluating the feasibility of improving the existing intersection by converting it into a roundabout, which is safer and more efficient than a traditional intersection. The SR 81 and Thayer Road intersection had 26 crashes between 2020 and 2022, and 35% resulted in injuries. Construction is tentatively scheduled for late 2025.

In 1959, Pete Seeger wrote the lyrics to Turn! Turn! Turn! referred to as To Everything There is a Season. The song is based on the first eight verses of the third chapter of Ecclesiastes. The song was first released by the Limeliters, but became a hit when the Byrds released it. The song hit number one on the Billboard Hot 100 on December 4, 1965.
Don Henley inducted the Byrds into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1991. The band performed another one of their hits, Mr. Tambourine Man for the ceremony. One of the more famous original members was David Crosby who played guitar and provided vocals. He later was a member of Crosby, Stills & Nash. The music world lost this icon in January, 2023.
Speaking of seasons and turning–we are heading into flu and RSV season. COVID-19 does not seem to have a distinct season especially with the recent uptick in hospitalized cases. It is difficult to get accurate numbers since routine testing and reporting is not being recorded for cases, so hospital visits are our best indicator of COVID-19 spread.
