MONROE - In a meeting Monday, the City of Monroe Public Safety Committee: • Discussed the width of downtown Square driving lanes and sent the issue to Monroe Main Street for its consideration regarding adequate room for fire protection. Fire Chief Daryl Rausch said he measured widths between 12 and 14 feet; state codes require 20 feet wide fire lanes.
