Saltville council approves truck‑restriction sign on Hwy 107 to curb Sycamore Road traffic; company to reimburse cost
Summary
Councilman David Buchanan moved and Suzanne Abramson seconded a motion to place a universal truck sign on Highway 107 to prevent trucks from using Sycamore Road; United Salt Company agreed to reimburse the town for the sign, and the council approved the measure. The transcript records no installation timeline or roll‑call tally for that motion.
Saltville — Councilman David Buchanan told the Town Council on June 17 that he had contacted Robert Green at VDOT to request a universal truck sign intended to stop truck traffic on Sycamore Road.
Buchanan said he also spoke with Chris Crawford of United Salt Company, who told him the company would reimburse the town for the cost of the sign. Upon a motion by Councilman David Buchanan, seconded by Councilmember Suzanne Abramson, the council approved designating placement of the sign on Highway 107 to deter trucks from using Sycamore Road. The meeting record does not include a roll‑call tally or a specified timetable for the sign’s installation.
The action is aimed at reducing heavy vehicle traffic routing through a local roadway used by residents; the council’s vote authorizes staff to work with VDOT on placement and to accept reimbursement from the private company. The transcript does not list an implementing department or a due date for installation, and it does not indicate whether VDOT has approved the requested location.
Councilman Buchanan initiated the item as a liaison with VDOT and a contact for the adjacent industry; Councilmember Abramson seconded the motion. The measure passed without a documented roll call in the transcript.
