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.
