HUBBARD — Residents and motorists passing through certain city streets will have to tread carefully for the coming weeks, according to an alert from the city.

According to a post made to social media and the city’s alert system, Everbridge Nixle, 2025 paving programs are set to begin Thursday, and will affect Roosevelt Drive through Harding Park, Ravine Drive, the Fifth Avenue extension, Westview Avenue to Scott Street and Belle Vista Drive from South Main to Oak Knoll.

Niles police called for dog bites

NILES — City police were called around 11 a.m. Monday to the 600 block of Clay Street to a report of a dog that had bitten three people during an argument.

A police department spokesperson said the cause of the attack was not clear, but one person who was bitten lived at the home and two were visiting. Reports state the three people were transported to the hospital for injuries, but their names and conditions were not available.

The police spokesperson said the Trumbull County Dog Warden was called to the scene. A spokesperson from the dog warden’s office said the dog is remaining at the home because officials determined the bites were provoked when the man, who owns the dog, and two women were arguing and got into an altercation and the dog became involved.
