If you were one of the unfortunate motorists who was temporarily delayed at the intersection of Wadsworth and Poe Roads earlier this afternoon, please be thankful that you didn't encounter the alternative. A unique set of circumstances caused the contents of a commercial dump truck to shift, forcing the rear gate to open. Various sized pieces of concrete and a thick, concrete slurry was deposited in both lanes south of the intersection. Within minutes, members of the Montville Township Police and Service Departments were working to control traffic and remove the debris from the roadway. An engine from the Medina Fire Department was used to rinse the remaining residue from the roadway so traffic could safely pass in a north/south direction on Wadsworth Road. Many thanks to all involved for their rapid response and teamwork to resolve the situation as quickly as possible.

01/23/2026

**EMERGENCY SNOW PARKING BAN - MONTVILLE TOWNSHIP**

Effective Saturday 1/24 at 5:00 PM through Monday 1/26 at 5:00 PM

Medina County is under a winter storm warning beginning at 7PM on Saturday through 10 AM on Monday with heavy snowfall and accumulations expected. In order to allow our plow crews to most effectively plow and salt the roadways, we have issued an Emergency Snow Parking Ban beginning Saturday evening and ending Monday evening.

During this time, we ask that residents do not park on public roadways and ensure that trash cans and recycle bins also are kept out of the roadways. When our plow crews do not have to try to work around these items, it helps ensure that they can make the roadways safe for all of our residents, as quickly and efficiently as possible.

We appreciate your understanding and please stay safe this weekend if you have to travel!
