A group of neighbors have petitioned Butler County Commissioners for a solution to trains blocking off their neighborhood. Pam Stroup, speaking on behalf of her neighbors in the Cedar Grove subdivision south of Seven Mile, says they are concerned someone is going to die waiting for a life squad being blocked by a train.
 

Stroup says this has been an ongoing problem, with the three major crossings blocked 19 times since October of 2019.
 

Stroup says back in March, one resident was blocked while trying to transport a relative to the hospital during a medical emergency. She had to call CSX to get the train to move.
 

Stroup gave commissioners a list of several proposed solutions, including extending Fear Not Mills Road to Treiber Road, which would connect the neighborhood with New Miami. Another plan includes creating an underpass at the Spring Road crossing.
