Off Road Vehicles Not Allowed In Park Or On City Streets
1/10/2025
Just a reminder....off-road vehicles, or any type of vehicle, are not allowed in the City Park or the baseball field. The gates are locked to discourage this and to keep the grounds nice for residents. Off road vehicles are not allowed on City streets at any time. Sheriff deputies randomly come through town, and being stopped would possibly result in a citation being issued. Please do not deliberately do damage to the roads by doing donuts, sliding around corners, etc. We have no material to repair the roads with, and if they are torn up, they will have to be repaired with caliche.
Pictures Needed of North Fork of the Red River Bridge
1/3/2025
The City has had meetings lately with officials from several different entities including TxDot, the Panhandle representative from the Office of the Governer, and the Texas Division of Emergency Management regarding the flooding issues the City is dealing with from the river running through town during heavy rains upstream. This morning we met with representatives from TDEM which included the Regional Mitigation Coordinator, the Regional Voluntary Agency Liason office, and the Gray County Liason Officer. They looked at the bridge clearance, the culverts under Highway 273, the wastewater treatment plant, and all the places that experience flooding due to the silt in the riverbed, and it was stated that we have a big problem. What we are needing are older pictures of the bridge showing the clearance when it was approximately ten feet from the bottom of the riverbed, pictures of the old bridge, the new bridge after it was built, or anything showing how wide the riverbed used to be. You can email them to cityoflefors@yahoo.com or bring them by City Hall so they can be scanned or copied. Please share so we can get these as soon as possible. Thank you.
