Council gives first reading to ordinance limiting semi trucks on Lincoln Street
Summary
On first reading the council approved scheduling a second reading of Ordinance 2026-11 to prohibit semi-truck through-traffic on Lincoln Street between Wagner and Waverly Roads while allowing local deliveries; the second reading was scheduled for the next meeting.
Chair introduced Ordinance 2026-11, described as an amendment to chapter 66 article 6 of the Porter Town Code to restrict semi-truck traffic on Lincoln Street between Wagner Road and Waverly Road. The ordinance would allow local deliveries but eliminate pass-through semi traffic on that corridor. The council moved to schedule a second reading and a vote at the next meeting, and the motion carried.
The council did not debate technical signage or enforcement at length during the first reading; staff were instructed to mark the ordinance for a second reading, with action anticipated at the August meeting. “It will eliminate semi truck traffic on Lincoln between Wagner Road and Waverly Road,” the chair summarized when introducing the ordinance.
