Council members could not agree on whether to have lines repainted along Business 211, which was recently repaved.
Mayor Stewart Willis said if the road is painted the council would have no choice; the street would have white lines on the sides and yellow in the middle. He said if the council does not want the lines repainted it should vote to send a letter saying so to VDOT.
"The more you make the road look like a highway, the faster people will drive," member Ray Gooch said.
On the other hand member Peter Skowronski wondered how blame for "fender bender" auto accidents would be determined if there was nothing to show which driver is on the wrong side of the road. ”1 think it's a big mistake not to line the road," he said.
Vice mayor Steve Critzer said having lines would help with parking because they would clearly indicate when the car is parked in the roadway.
Mayor Willis said a decision will be put off until the November meeting- ingCouncil
asked Mr. Critzer to bring cost estimates for five of the improvements to the water system he recommended.
Mayor Willis said there will be a series of talks on the town's history starting in November as part of the bicentennial celebration.
Former mayor Dorothy Davis will talk about the Town Council in the 50s. Retired Judge Rayner Snead will talk about the town in the 40s. Clerk Diane Bruce will discuss records in her office, and Douglas Baumgardner will talk about a famous court case in the 1850s.
