Why This Vote Matters
The council unanimously scheduled a public hearing for May 15 to consider permanently closing a section of B Street to through traffic. This is a required procedural step under state law before any street can be vacated. At the hearing, residents will have the opportunity to speak for or against the closure before the council makes its final decision. This vote was purely administrative - setting the hearing date rather than deciding whether to actually close the street.
