Sherman tables talks on temporary close of State Highway 56 - Herald Democrat
A request to close traffic on State Highway 56 in Sherman led to larger discussions this week on adopting a policy for future detours during public events. The Sherman City Council voted this week to table discussion on a request by organizers for Sherman’s Moonlight Market to temporarily close the roadway for the bi-weekly event in order to draft a policy for this and other closure in the future.During Monday’s discussions, members of the city council appeared sympathetic to the request by event organizers but wanted to take time to draft an appropriate plan that would safely reroute large truck traffic away from the area for the duration of this and other events.“I would say, first off, thank you for doing what you are doing,” council member Josh Stevenson said.
