JASPER, Tenn. – City leaders have approved a change to North Pryor Cove Road, and now they’re examining a similar situation elsewhere in Jasper.

Last month, nearly all of the residents along North Pryor Cove signed a petition asking that the Jasper Board of Mayor and Aldermen make the narrow road a one-way street.

Mayor Paul Evans said he and Police Chief Tim Graham examined the situation recently and agreed that making it one-way was a good idea.

“There’s just not enough room there to pass without getting into somebody’s yard,” Evans said.

At its September meeting, the board voted unanimously to approve the change.
