Lake Twp. citizens sick of speeders

MILLBURY - The half-mile of Lemoyne Road between Ohio 795 and Ayers Road has the Lake School District complex, a half-dozen homes and a very steep railroad crossing.
And it's 55 mph - much too fast, according to neighbors.
"We're sick of the speeders," said Jim Hicks, who added that his dog was killed on the road last week. "This is ridiculous. We want it changed."
Hicks and a dozen other Lemoyne Road residents attended Tuesday's Lake Township meeting to ask - sometimes demand - that the speed limit be lowered to 35 mph immediately.
Hicks said the signs should be changed now, and if they weren't, he would have contacts in Washington, D.C., taking action.
Police Chief Mark Hummer said the township cannot change speed limits. The process starts by notifying the Wood County Engineer's Office, which contacts the Ohio Department of Transportation for a traffic study. ODOT then makes a recommendation to the county, which reports back to the township, Hummer said.
