Florida Street discussion

One item removed from last night's Weaverville Town Council meeting was discussion on closing a portion of Florida Street for a pedestrian mall. The Weaverville Business Association supported this proposed concept at a recent meeting. The Weaverville Tribune reported on this in last week's issue.

One citizen spoke against closing Florida Street over concerns of forcing truck traffic on the residential Alabama Avenue. They said the street is not capable of handling wide loads.

Councilman Walt Currie said the council will considered this concern when the matter again comes before council. Time will tell how this one shakes out.
