📰 News we're reading
• Woman, 82, dies following Delaware County crash (newsbreak.com) — An 82-year-old Powell woman died after losing control of her car on Liberty Road in Liberty Township, Delaware County, and rolling over after striking a mailbox and tree. State troopers say she was wearing a seatbelt, alcohol and drugs are not suspected, and the crash remains under investigation with Liberty Township firefighters assisting at the scene. 
• ODOT issues final connector report (delgazette.com) — State transportation officials have picked a preferred $890 million route to link U.S. 23 with I-71, cutting through northern Delaware County and potentially affecting homes, farms, forests, and travel times for local drivers. The 18.2‑mile connector, eyed for possible construction starting in 2035, drew thousands of mostly negative public comments, and local reactions will continue to unfold in coming coverage.
• Carriage Road Takes A Step Toward Reconstruction (1808delaware.com) — A cooperative agreement among Powell, Liberty Township, and Delaware County is moving plans forward to reconstruct Carriage Road and potentially prepare for a future roundabout at Liberty and Carriage. For Delaware-area drivers, this is an early funding and planning step, not a construction start, but it signals likely changes to a key corridor used by many local commuters.
