Another not-so-happy New Year for Lancaster: another trucking industry lawsuit?
The Lancaster City Council approved a new truck route ordinance at its Dec. 11 meeting.
Unfortunately, expect the three more-established large trucking companies in Lancaster, and the Texas Motor Transportation Association, to sue the city just like they did two years ago.
However, this time, in light of judge’s comments from that suit, the city has done an official traffic safety study. Also, I-20 access road construction, including a special truck ramp to bypass the Houston School Road intersection, should address other legal challenges.
So, will Big Trucking waste more Lancaster taxpayer money, or will it do the responsible thing?
