    2019 Year in Review: Village Council

  • Village traffic trial— Should changes be permanent?

    Where there was once a yield sign at the intersection of South Walnut Street and Limestone Street now stands a stop sign.

Those were some of the highlights of a Village survey on its three-week traffic trial, which involved several changes to downtown streets and parking areas.
