The Lawrenceville City Council met Thursday evening in regular monthly session. After a long discussion, they voted 6-2 to not allow the use of golf carts on city streets. The move came after the council legislative committee recommended against it, citing safety concerns among other issues. There was also a discussion on potential changes to various one way streets around the city with Police Chief Jim White who briefed the council on his findings and recommended no changes. The council went along with the recommendation.  Mayor David Courtney reported that the Illinois Department of Transportation has now indicated that repair of Illinois Route 1 (15th Street) through the city is anticipated to begin next spring.
