Princeton warns residents of burn ban, posts Halloween hours and schedules road spray patching
Summary
City staff told the Princeton City Council that a burn ban is in effect, trick-or-treat hours are set for 5 to 8 p.m. on Oct. 31, and spray patching on Main Street and connecting roads will begin the next day and last about two days in affected areas.
At a regular meeting, a city official told the Princeton City Council that the city has a burn ban in effect and reminded residents the restriction is posted and that a press release has been issued. The official said the city will revisit the ban if conditions change.
The same official said trick-or-treat hours are set for 5 to 8 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 31, and that spray patching of roads will begin Tuesday in targeted areas “heading east and west roads off of Main Street all the way through town,” including First Street between Boyd and Park Avenue. The official said spray patching work would last about two days in treated areas until surfaces are packed down.
Mayor Mabry and staff also thanked the Chamber of Commerce and the tourism office for a successful Main Street weekend; Jennica, a city staff member, told the council businesses reported strong turnout and some complaints about long lines for attractions and trolleys. Council members and staff promoted a Fire Department open house scheduled for Oct. 11 from 9 a.m. to noon with demonstrations and family activities.
In public comment, a resident, Peggy, asked the community to support a veterans group at an upcoming event. The meeting packet included an August 2025 police pensioners report, which the city official said had been distributed to council members.
