City pursuing truck parking lot

The City of Sidney is pursuing a parking area for carriers displaced by a recent ordinance banning carrier trucks from parking in residential zones.

“We’re looking for land initially that we could rent,” Ed Sadler, Sidney city manager said. “We have talked to some people. We have found a couple that are willing to rent us property.”

A memo will be brought before the City Council at its May 9 meeting for direction.

“My recommendation will be that they don’t rent anything until we would get some signed commitments from people and ask them, okay, how many of you now are willing to rent this, for this much,” Sadler said. “Because the last thing we need to do is go rent the land for a year and then nobody takes us up on it because it isn’t the right place or too much money of whatever the case may be.”
