Convex Mirror Fundraiser (3)

Donate to the Ohio City Convex Mirror Fundraiser!

Ohio City is a walkable neighborhood, but some alleys have dangerous blind spots where drivers can't see people on the sidewalk. We're raising funds to install convex mirrors at high risk spots to help prevent accidents. Every donation makes a difference. If you love walking, biking, or rolling through the neighborhood, Please help donate and support our neighborhood! For more information or to donate, please click the link below!
