Saltville Council adopts ordinance banning trucks on Sycamore Road
Summary
The Town of Saltville on Feb. 10 adopted an ordinance prohibiting through truck traffic on Sycamore Road, limiting trucks to deliveries only; the vote was unanimous. The change responds to safety and street‑condition concerns raised by council and staff.
Saltville's Town Council voted unanimously Feb. 10 to adopt an ordinance prohibiting the use of trucks on Sycamore Road except for deliveries or receiving loads. Mayor Cheri Fullen opened the meeting and the council approved an amended ordinance after Councilman Ryan Comer moved to accept the change and Councilwoman Suzanne Abramson seconded; the roll‑call vote was recorded as all Aye.
The ordinance defines "truck" as a motor vehicle designed to transport property with registered gross weight exceeding 7,500 pounds, excluding pickup and panel trucks. Town Manager Cecile Rosenbaum had introduced the amendment and told the council staff had prepared the language to match state authority under Va. Code §46.2‑1304. The measure takes effect immediately as adopted Feb. 10.
The action follows earlier public notice and a public hearing announced in the council packet. The ordinance text and the council's recorded vote are included in the meeting materials. Council recorded no public comments opposing the restriction during the hearing, and staff will coordinate sign installation and enforcement details.
The council did not schedule additional public hearings on this ordinance; implementation steps will be handled by town staff and the police department.
