Brownfield Council rescinds truck parking ban
The Brownfield City Council voted Thursday to rescind a summer 2002 ordinance barring heavy trucks in residential areas. The dispute centered on Old Lamesa Road where a commercial trucking operation sparked complaints. Court action will resolve whether property owner Junior Mireles can park and operate there, with guidance to allow street parking only after legal review.
