City Manager Chris Pozzuto said in the event there is a shutdown on Interstate 75 that leads to a backup on Ohio 741, the new signals would make adjustments to improve traffic flow, such as extending the time of green lights.

“It will learn that there is a lot of traffic on that particular day and allow a lot more greens,” he said.
The new signals, which will cost nearly $173,000, will be installed in the next month or two, Pozzuto said.
There were a few older controllers getting out of date and the city decided to take the opportunity to replace them all with this system, he said.
It also will maintain the preemption for emergency vehicles, and the signals can all be controlled from a central location.

Council members also approved a resolution authorizing the city manager to enter into a contract with John R. Jurgensen Co. of Dayton for its 2025 street resurfacing and concrete work program.
The work is to plane and resurface several asphalt streets and remove and replace deteriorating curb, gutter, sidewalks and driveway aprons for 17 residential streets.
The city received four bids, with the lowest at $1.548 million. The project had been estimated by the city engineer to cost $1.675 million, Pozzuto said.
The funds will come from the Street Capital Improvement Fund.
The streets to be resurfaced are: Remick Boulevard, Tory Pines, Callaway Court, McCray Boulevard, Park Lane, Parsley Court, Parkridge Court, Twincreek Court, Creekview Court, Roundtree Court, Graham Drive, Redbud Drive, Willow Drive, East Longmeadow Drive, Salem Court, Beckley Farm Way and Corral Court.
