Toledo residents are raising concerns about traffic safety on Central Avenue, particularly near a local fire station. During a recent Toledo City Plan Commission meeting, community members highlighted the dangers posed by speeding vehicles, with some drivers reportedly reaching speeds of 45 to 50 miles per hour.

One resident emphasized the narrow entrance to a back parking lot, which complicates vehicle movements and increases the risk of accidents, especially when multiple cars are trying to navigate the area simultaneously. Additionally, visibility issues caused by several trees along the avenue were noted, making it difficult for drivers to see oncoming traffic.

The commission acknowledged these concerns and provided an opportunity for further discussion, indicating a willingness to address the safety issues raised by the community. As the city moves forward, residents hope that these discussions will lead to actionable solutions that enhance safety for all who travel along Central Avenue.
