QUESTION: Is Suspension Bridge Road in Whitewater Township ever going to be repaved? The road is in terrible shape and a lot of people drive this road every day. — Terry Wolfe, Lawrenceburg, Ind.

        ANSWER: Tom Langenbrunner of the Hamilton County engineer's office said Suspension Bridge Road is on the list for repaving. Repaving projects are subject to estimated budgets and available funds. The project should be completed by 2003, perhaps sooner.

        Q: Someone should check out the intersection of Clough Pike and Newtown Road in Anderson Township. The pavement on Newtown Road is extremely bumpy as the roadway drops down to Clough. It makes it very difficult to stop before you get into the intersection. — William C. Knapp, Anderson Township

        A: Mr. Langenbrunner said a contractor, retained by the county, is estimating the cost of road improvements at this location. If it falls within budget parameters, work will be completed later this year. If not, it should be addressed in 2002.

        Q: Who is responsible for watering the trees along Fairway Drive in Mason, the city or the homeowners? — Carol Feenstra, Mason

        A: Mason City Manager Scot Lahrmer said Fairway Drive and the right of way are still the maintenance responsibility of the developer. If trees are dying, Mr. Lahrmer suggests nearby homeowners water them.

        Q: Traffic is backing up at about 5 p.m. from Reading Road to Burnet heading east on Martin Luther King. It seems as if the light at Reading and Martin Luther King is not green long enough for a significant amount of traffic to get through. Can the timing be changed to prevent this backup? — David Ficker, Anderson Township

        A: Following a lengthy traffic study, Steve Bailey, Cincinnati traffic engineer, said the signal has been changed to increase the green light sequence on Martin Luther King by eight seconds, which should ease the traffic backup.
