A county ordinance limiting the weight of vehicles traveling on Don Felipe Road was repealed by the Valencia County Commission after business owners along the street argued it was detrimental to their livelihoods. At the March 17 commission meeting, commissioners voted 4-1 to repeal the ordinance, which prohibited vehicles weighing more than five tons on the road without a permit from the county, with Commissioner David Hyder voting no. The ordinance authorizing the repeal of the old law will go into effect 30 days after itâs approval. The ordinance was originally passed in March 2020 after then-commissioner Charles Eaton said residents along the road expressed concerns about the newly-paved road being damaged by heavy truck traffic.
