The Findlay Traffic Commission approved an extension of the closure of South Cory Street between West Crawford Street and West Main Cross Street.

That section of road closed to public vehicle traffic on June 11 with the closure originally set to last 90 days. The closure has now been extended until December 31.

The East/West alley behind the post office between South West Street and South Cory Street is also affected.

The city said it’s looking at the safety aspects of that area with the new Allan H. Davis Judicial Center building, police department, sheriff’s office, municipal building, and courthouse all in close proximity, and police and sheriff vehicles coming and going.

The Findlay Traffic Commission recently approved a closure extension until December 31 to allow for the continued gathering of traffic data in the area and information on traffic patterns.

The Findlay Traffic Commission will then analyze the data and make a recommendation to city council about whether the closure should become permanent.
