Piedmont council raises right‑of‑way junk and heavy‑truck concerns on Memorial Drive
Summary
Council members asked staff to examine Ordinance 502 and other options to deal with rubbish on city right‑of‑way and discussed keeping 18‑wheelers off Memorial Drive except for deliveries; no formal ordinance change or vote was recorded.
At the June 4 meeting, several Piedmont council members raised concerns about materials and large trucks using city right‑of‑way and requested follow‑up rather than taking immediate formal action.
Councilmember Greg South asked the council to review Ordinance 502 to find possible solutions for rubbish and junk found on the city right‑of‑way. Councilmember Terry Kiser said he wanted the council to consider possible options for junk pickup. Neither request resulted in a formal vote; the discussion was recorded under council reports and will require staff follow‑up.
Councilmember Caleb Pope specifically asked about options to keep 18‑wheelers off Memorial Drive with the exception of deliveries. Councilmember Jubal Feazell said he would coordinate with Tim Froston regarding right‑of‑way cutting. Councilmember David Ivey reported that an updated work order report had been emailed to councilmembers by Ben Singleton. Clerk Hinton also told the council that summer workers had been hired.
The items were recorded as council reports and discussion points; the council did not adopt an ordinance or set a formal timetable for changes during this meeting. Follow‑up by staff or a future agenda item would be required to move toward code changes or enforcement actions.
