Herrin Defers Move to Close North 13th Street Stretch
Herrin officials denied resident John Lloyd’s request to close a 400 foot segment of North 13th Street that links to Freeman Spur Road. Mayor Vic Ritter cited traffic needs and town workers who rely on the route, while county officials consider guardrails and county action. The city also plans steps on a damaged Riviera Place access road, landfill closure with EPA review, and warns residents about door to door salesmen while approving no parking changes to aid unloading at Bryan Furniture.
