Public Hearing Set for Amendment to Trucking Ordinance

The Bedford Town Council has scheduled a public hearing for Wednesday, Dec. 12, at its regularly-scheduled 7 p.m. meeting.

There, councilors will seek and consider residential opinion on a proposed amendment that will change Town Ordinance Chapter 262-5, which regulates "Trucking on Certain Roads."

The Council is considering adding the following wording to the ordinance: “No Thru Trucking on Donald Street from Route 114 to the Manchester Town Line, between from 9:30 PM until 7:00 AM.”

The ordinance already includes similar trucking restrictions for the following Bedford streets and roadways:

• Atwood Lane [Amended 4-9-2003] - Intersection of Ridgewood Road south to its end as a public way.
• Back River Road [Amended 12-22-1992] - From Smith Road to the Merrimack town line.
• Darby Lane [Amended 8-14-1991] - Entire length.
• Gage Girls Road [Amended 10-9-2002] - From Beals Road to the Merrimack town line.
• Greenfield Parkway [Amended 8-13-2008] - From Liberty Hill Road to Wallace Road.
