The Jamestown City Council met last night, with the council revisiting the issue of taking in Ponderosa Pike into the city street system.
The council ultimately decided by a 5-1 vote to spend roughly $20,000 to blacktop the street. Councilman Dwight Richards made the motion to pay for the asphalt. He said citizen Brian Young, who brought the issue to the council, has already put in a lot of resources needed to make the roadway a city street.
Councilman Barry Coffey voted in opposition on the motion to pay to blacktop the street. Coffey said there were still too many questions in explaining his “no” vote.
After the vote to pay to blacktop, the council voted to adopt Ponderosa Pike into the city street system with no opposition.
Ponderosa Pike is located off Murphy Lane in Jamestown.
At the meeting last night, Mayor Regena Hinton also spoke about how the city is planning for the upcoming summer months.
The Jamestown City Council meets on the third Thursday of each month at 6 p.m. at City Hall.
