Athens Bypass Debate Moves Toward Public Hearing
A public hearing Monday at 10 a.m. in the Junior Fair Building focuses on a proposed relocation in Athens bypass plans. Athens Citizens for Intelligent Road opposes any bypass that does not truly bypass the city, presenting about 80 petitions with 1000 signatures. Ohio University supporters note the project would ease traffic if built, while concerns persist over impact on the Children’s Home and local sites.
