Key takeaway The Town Council unanimously approved an ordinance amendment regulating non-emergency helicopter landings and operations.
Bartonville has taken steps to restrict air traffic within its town limits. The Town Council unanimously approved an ordinance amendment regulating non-emergency helicopter landings and operations. This decision was made in response to concerns from residents and was influenced by a similar ordinance in nearby Double Oak.
The new ordinance prohibits helicopters and other non-emergency aircraft from landing or operating within the town. This move is intended to prevent low-flying aircraft from disturbing wildlife, horses, and cattle in the area. Further details on the ordinance and its implementation can be found in the Cross Timbers Gazette.
