Trenton seeks joint effort on road projects with Butler County
About 110 Trenton area residents signed a petition presented to Butler County commissioners by Trenton Mayor Ron Specht. The plan asks the county and city to join on Riverside Drive improvements and to strengthen Riverside from Hamilton Trenton Road to Wayne Madison Road, plus Potter Street from Pierson to State Street. The group cites high accident rates on Hamilton Trenton Road, including four fatalities in 18 months, and urges a bypass off State Street to ease downtown congestion and truck traffic on Ohio 73. The commissioners referred the petition to County Engineer Stanley Perin for review.
