Left Turn Bays Proposed for Preston Main Street
Preston city officials held a special meeting with State Highway Department representatives to discuss installing left turn bays along the main street through the business district from South State at Carl and Dons to North State at Second North by Premium Oil. The plan would reduce parking by 145 to 190 feet per block, prompting requests for time to notify merchants. No decision was reached as the council sought public business input, and other items included hiring J C Williams as city attorney and planning commission roles.
