A synopsis of the City Ordinance and a map of the Downtown Development Authority District are available at City Hall and the Police Department.

Is there a truck route in the City?
The city adopted a truck route ordinance that specifies which city streets trucks can and cannot use. Copies of the ordinance and truck route map are available at the Police Department or City Hall.
