Supervisor Specht would like the Town to start working on a possible Ordinance to approve routes for the future. On the North Side the from the Necedah Line down to the Buckhorn Store and Café is the only place that makes sense at this time Without Clearfield there is no way to keep a route going at this time. He would like to see the Town move forward and draft an ordinance. Would like this on the agenda for next month. Supervisor Michael Poe commented that if the route stayed on 19th Ave. you would go past more residential places so the other route is a better suggestion.
