Letter: Trucks around the square Joe Hare writes: In reply to Billy's comment and as much as I would like to see thru trucks made to use the bypass, it is not illegal. Hwy's 55 and 80 are both official truck routes by Federal classification, thus they can use either route they choose. Billy I hope you can get this passed thru FCC in Washington.

Letter: Large Truck Thru Traffic James Roberts writes: The Columbia City Council can pass an ordinance to prohibit large commercial trucks from entering the square or downtown area unless they have a specific reason to be there. This would provide a legal reason for law enforcement to ticket offenders. Not only would it control the problem, but would bring in additional revenue in the process.Comments re: Last vestige of wings is gone 2024-01-22 15:16:26 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback
