INDEPENDENCE, Ohio — William Koteles said his employees are dealing with a potentially hazardous blind spot on a daily basis as they try to pull out of his Independence business, Pemco Inc. due to an ongoing bridge replacement project on Brecksville Road.
“They have equipment parked right now and it keeps moving and rotating; it’s very difficult to see," Koteles said."It’s putting people at risk to a level that I’ve never seen, and like I said, I’ve been here 50 years." Pemco employee Chris Koteles said he had a near accident on April 16 and hopes ODOT and the City of Independence will do more to increase traffic viability in the coming weeks.
“If you want my honest opinion, somebody could get killed if you get t-boned right there. At minimum they need to slow the speed down, there’s no signs up anywhere, it’s still 35 mph," he said. “I think what they should do is put a blind spot mirror up on one of those poles, so we can actually see somebody coming northbound.”
