Who we are
The Steitz Road Safety Initiative is a resident-led, volunteer effort advocating for safer pedestrian, bike, and neighborhood connectivity infrastructure along Steitz Rd in Liberty Township, Delaware County, Ohio. This site is operated by Steve & Emily Kozak.
What we collect
When you add your support, we collect: your first and last name, email address, age band (Under 18 or 18+), neighborhood, and — optionally — a general street or location and a personal comment.
What we display publicly
- Aggregate counts of supporters by neighborhood.
- Approved comments shown with first name and neighborhood only. Last names, email addresses, and street locations are never shown publicly.
- Comments are only published if you opt in and a moderator approves them.
Extra protections for signers under 18
We apply stricter handling for anyone who selects the Under 18 age band:
- We do not collect a street or general location.
- Comments from minors are never published on this website, even if opted in or accidentally approved.
- Minors are not added to any email update list.
- A parent or guardian must be aware of the signature — we require an on-form confirmation before submission.
- These rules are enforced both in the website and in the database itself, so a tampered submission cannot bypass them.
How we use your information
- To count and demonstrate community support to township officials.
- To prevent duplicate signatures (one signature per email address).
- To occasionally update supporters who opted in — never sold, rented, or shared with third-party marketers.
Data retention & removal
We retain signatures for the duration of the initiative. If you would like your record removed or corrected, email steve.j.kozak@gmail.com from the address you signed with.
Security
Submissions are stored in a managed, access-controlled database. Only authorized volunteers can view individual records, and public reads are limited to approved, anonymized comments and aggregate counts.
