The Sheridan City Council rescinded a No Parking Ordinance Sunday that they had passed during their June meeting. Mayor Ashley Rush refused to sign off on it, and council members Candy Martin and Larry Musick said they weren’t voting for it. Martin said the ordinance presented at Sunday‘s meeting didn’t have an ordinance number on it, and that she hadn’t seen the DOT study. The ordinance would have affected the north side of Route 246 between Route H and 3rd Street.
Councilwoman Mary Jo Riley said that she had gotten calls from multiple people wanting the study in question. The area in question is on DOT right of way, which means they could put up a “No Parking” sign, not subject to council approval.
Barry Lyle, who was at the meeting, said a “No Parking” ordinance would be detrimental to his business, as he frequently goes across the street to work on customers’ cars. Tyler Paxson, also at the meeting, said it would hurt Community Building events.
The city said that people were responsible for their own brush removal. The former DOT building is now private property, and people do not have permission to dump their brush there.
Council members and Mayor Rush agreed to lock the doors to the park bathroom due to vandalism, except for community events. There were two vandalisms this year.
