The Ohio Department of Transportation brought a distracted driving simulator to the high school on Friday.
At Brecksville-Broadview Heights High School on Friday, students were encouraged to drive impaired and to tap out texts while at the wheel—virtually, of course. The Ohio Department of Transportation’s distracted driver simulator shows students just how difficult it is to react if a driver isn’t giving the road his or her full attention. Students tried out the simulator, which was set up like a video game with a steering wheel and gas and brake pedals. If a student was “distracted,” a cell phone popped up in the corner and they had to type to respond to questions, while continuing to drive and keep an eye out for dogs, deer and people running into the road. The “impaired” drivers had a delay on their response time, and the depth perception …

A planned repair to state Route 82 will now cost the city a lot less than expected. In fact, it might not cost the city anything at all. The city needs to repair a failed culvert running under Royalton Road, a plan that began moving forward this fall. During Tuesday’s City Council meeting at City Hall, members learned that the city is receiving a grant for $230,000 for construction costs from the Ohio Department of Transportation. The department is providing another $23,000 to the city for construction management costs. The money is coming from the department’s Geologic Site Management Program. City Engineer Gerald Wise said the grant could cover all of the project’s costs. If construction costs go above the grant amount, the city will be …
