Salvage yard dispute edges toward closure after years
Lambeth, owner of Truck Wholesale, faces KDOT and Miami County pressure over a 20 acre salvage yard on the Franklin MIami county line. KDOT has not yet issued a formal notice to Lambeth and delays followed a three month warning to clean up within 90 days. Lambeth disputes zoning and licensing claims while noting the yard supplies hard to find crane and oil field parts and even serves state agencies.

City mulls dynamic plan for access points along U S 59
City manager Richard Nienstedt says a dynamic access plan with KDOT will keep development options open and safer as the U S 59 corridor evolves. Public works director Andy Haney notes prior K-68 plan variation while a landowner worries about a cemetery nearby. Commissioners will ask KDOT about flexibility and spacing of entrances while offering prayers for Kirkwood victims and discussing requests for Davis Road fixes and an Ottawa community center.
