The Winn Parish Police Jury voted Oct. 21 to advance a Motion of Intent to adopt an ordinance reducing the speed limit to 15 miles per hour on a defined segment of T. Wells Road — 100 feet south of the first house to 100 feet north of the last house — while the rest of the road would remain 25 MPH. The motion of intent was made by Juror Kyle Potts and seconded by Deionne Carpenter and carried on the intent vote.
