College favors relocation of Route 20
Oberlin College President Ernest Hatch Wilkins announced that the college Prudential Committee backs opening an arterial highway away from Oberlin to remove truck and heavy traffic from town. Reasons cited include vibrations harming labs and classrooms, traffic noise disrupting library and chapel activities, and danger to hundreds of students crossing Route 20 daily. The college argues widening the current road would damage college property and local interests more than diverting traffic.
