Sidney Faces State Ultimatum Over Parking on No 30
The state highway department demanded immediate traffic relief on Illinois Street in Sidney along highway No 30. It hints at parallel parking with time limits, especially Saturdays, or the highway could be routed around the town. Mayor Roche warned of major business losses if No 30 bypasses Sidney, while police report worsening congestion and double parking. City officials plan Friday night discussions with the council and chamber of commerce on the proposal.
