Trucks are no longer allowed to drive on Oak Park Drive as the City Council passed an ordinance disallowing trucks from the residential area.

The council also passed an ordinance that would keep trucks from travelling on Enzor Road unless they have a destination or origination point along the road. That will have to be approved by the Pike County Commission, however, as Enzor road is a county road.

Officials said the ordinance maintains the integrity of the road and keeps residents safe from truck traffic.

Melissa Sanders, planning and zoning administrator, said the ordinance regarding Enzor Road would protect commercial, agricultural and farming businesses on the road.

The trucks banned by the ordinance are defined as being 50 feet or longer or having a transportation capacity of one and a half tons or more. Sanders said the ordinance exempts pickup trucks, emergency vehicles and public vehicles.

In other business the council:
