Saint Jo Council updated on large truck traffic
Members of the Saint Jo City Council were updated on large truck traffic issues in town during the March meeting of the panel.
Police Chief Harvey Johnson spoke to the council on March 12 about the complaints the city has received about the large amount of truck traffic on Farm-to-Market Road 2382.
There is a large number of trucks coming down this route through town from the sand mine located north of the city near Bulcher. Council members may consider closing that route to truck traffic since FM 677 is still available and there is only five-eighths of a mile difference.
Police have stopped some of the trucks and the chief went out to the facility to talk with mine officials. No action was taken as Johnson said he will continue to gather data to provide to the council.
