City Council Vacates Railroad Ave in Myrtle to Improve Safety
The Myrtle city council voted unanimously to vacate a 300 foot segment of Railroad Avenue from Dobrow Street to the arterial highway due to dangerous sightlines and accidents at the curve with the main highway. The move includes drafting an ordinance for ground transfer, with potential reversion to adjacent property owners as no man’s land, and possible future use of the highway over Railroad Avenue. The council also opposed private bill boards in the streets, discussed bond retirement, water pipe acquisition for the pump, and approved a 2 inch water main on Fifth Avenue to Ash Street.
