I recently read where the Dayton City council approved a memorandum at another “special called meeting” requesting approval for a new traffic light at the intersection of Market Street and Illinois Avenue. The state is going to be placing a red light at the intersection of Market Street and Iowa Avenue due in part that there is a railroad crossing there and studies by the state indicate that the light is needed there for public safety. However, Councilman Bobby Doss for some reason is dead set on ANOTHER red light at Illinois Ave. and my question is “why”? Could it be that he may have been raised on Illinois Ave. and wants to make family members happy or is he truly thinking of what’s best for the city? Vice Mayor Bobby Doss has pushed for a new light for the last three years to be placed at Illinois and Market ever since he was elected. Then again remains the question, WHY?
