📰 News we're reading

• Road Warrior: With another roundabout finished, the next one starts (toledoblade.com) — Drivers in Oregon should expect lane closures on State Route 2 between Wheeling Street and Coy Road for right-turn lane, sidewalk, and curb work, along with a closure on Corduroy Road east of Otter Creek. The broader update also outlines new roundabout construction, bridge repairs, and highway lane restrictions across Lucas and nearby counties that could affect commutes and school routes this month.
   

• The Press closure and changing landscape of local news (toledofreepress.com) — The longtime free weekly The Press, which closely covered Oregon, East Toledo, and surrounding communities, has published its final edition, leaving a major gap in local government and neighborhood reporting. Former staff describe how deeply the paper served Oregon residents, from covering council meetings to sharing Metroparks news, and worry that older readers especially will struggle to find replacement sources for hyper-local information.
