Council rescinds local four-way stop ordinance and hears resident concerns on parking, covenants
Summary
Covington council voted to rescind a 4-way stop ordinance and addressed resident requests on a blind spot at 5th Street and a covenant fee in the Rivercrest subdivision; the mayor will consult the state and the city attorney on next steps.
Mayor Crain told the council he would ask the city attorney to draft an ordinance to vacate Ordinance 2024-4, which established a four-way stop at 9th/Railroad/Sunset. Councilmember Randles moved to rescind Ordinance 2024-4, Councilmember Martin seconded, and the motion carried 4–0.
During public comment, Keith Asbury asked the council to remove the final parking space on 5th Street near Liberty to improve sight lines for people crossing to the south. Mayor Crain said he would consult the State Highway Department about possible changes.
Wanda Miller asked the council about amending covenants for the annexed Rivercrest subdivision and questioned a fee being charged by Jeff Clark; Mayor Crain said he would talk with Attorney Powell because the City is now responsible for streets and utilities in the annexed area. The council did not take immediate action on the covenant question at the Nov. 4 meeting.
