In Kunkle and Madison Townships, complaints about truck traffic from the Menards Distribution center is an ongoing issue. Residents there say the hundreds of trucks and employee vehicles that daily enter and leave the distribution center in Holiday City each day are a problem. The Bryan Times reports today that one big issue is the accelerated deterioration of township roads, along with the costs associated with fixing them. The damage is reportedly caused by semi trucks using township roads instead of Traxler Drive, which was built specifically to connect Menards with Ohio 15. Residents of the area say they are concerned about public safety and about multiple incidents of speeding, stop sign violations and unsafe operations by trucks going to and from Menards. The truckers however, are not Menards employees, so the company says they are limited in what they can do about it. Sheriff Steve Towns now plans to increase patrols in the area. Officials are also working with the state of Ohio to get approval to place signs on Ohio 15 directing trucks to Menards via Traxler Drive.
