SIDNEY Sidney City Council considered legislation on the use of non-traditional vehicles (NTVs) on city streets at its Monday evening meeting.
City Manager Mark Cundiff introduced the ordinance on the use of NTVs but referred any questions to Council members Ed Hamaker, Jenny VanMatre and Vice Mayor Mardie Milligan, who served on the committee formed to study the issue.
The following requirements to permit NTVs on city roadways in the ordinance presented included: two headlights, two rear taillights, adequate brakes, a muffler system, a state-issued license plate, a light to illuminate the license plate, at least one working brake light, a working horn, a windshield, a rear-view mirror, working turn signals, an emergency brake, and a seat belt for each occupant of the vehicle.
Prince William will begin street repair after inking deal with Quantico base
Construction crews are gearing up to repair Russell Road, at the entrance to Quantico Marine Corps Base.
A Prince William County spokeswoman writes PLN:
The work to be done at Russell Rd. is really two different projects. As you enter the base on the right side, there is a slumping of soil happening due to water infiltration and bad soil. This slumping is occurring near the road elevation.
This area will be excavated in several different steps down the slope and new material placed back. The guardrail will be removed and if asphalt needs to be milled due to undermining, it will be milled and replaced. Guardrail will be placed back in the new soil and the road striped if necessary. The new soil will be hydroseeded to stabilize from any further erosion.
