WARSAW — A private access road that connects Dubois Drive and Parker Street in Warsaw could be closed permanently as soon as next week.

The road snakes through property owned by Alick’s Home Medical and has become a popular shortcut for motorists.

Public Works Director Dustin Dillon said the road was never meant for public travel and that the amount of traffic represents a huge safety risk for those using the Alick’s parking area.

Dillon updated the city’s Traffic Commission on the issue on Wednesday and said no trespassing signs could be installed soon. Other steps are also being considered.
