Wharton City Council hit the brakes on a plan to reroute Highway 60 traffic out of downtown. The proposal would have swapped Milam Street with Alabama Street, shifting truck traffic away from busy Monterrey Square near the courthouse. Though TxDOT already approved the change, concerns rose about heavier traffic near Sivells Elementary and nearby schools. With no council member seconding the motion, the plan stalled. City leaders say the reroute may return to the March 23rd agenda with more details for review.
