Detour plan
(continued from page 3) Council members suggested a welter of possible detours. “This will need to be further developed before we act on it,” Chief Scherb said. “I’d like to get something finished some time before the end of August so that, when school starts again, people will know what to do,” Mayor Barra said. The chief and the rest of the council agreed to plan for a logical detour pattern based on the road system and the responses of local and out-of-town motorists.
