Subsequently, the matter was appealed and the City Council heaid''the from the"residents on Tenth and Fair .Street (January 17, 1,989) requesting. that truck traffic be banned on their street. It was noted that Fifth and Sixth Streets currently have a prohibition ~. of truck traffic (not including deliverytrucks): During ..that discussion; , the Council was asked to treat the 5th and 6th.=Street `esidents<and the Tenth and Fair Street residents in the- same manner.. It' was Council consensus at that meeting to continue~the matter and invite the residents of 5th.- and 6th. Streets to the meeting also.

MAR 2 0 1989 The prohibitions of truck traffic on Fifth, and Sixth Streets prevent vehicles over 3 tons from utilizing, those stye. ets within certain segments with no time restriction.
