"Franklin County has almost as many cars, trucks and motorcycles as it has men, women and children, a fact that has Columbus Mayor Michael B. Coleman and 11 suburban mayors worried about traffic congestion. They announced plans yesterday for a regional summit on growth and congestion. The meeting, set for Jan. 30 at Ohio State University's Fawcett Center, also will include officials from Franklin and surrounding counties."
