MORGANTOWN - A new trial date has been set in the federal class action lawsuit challenging Monongalia County's Pedestrian and Vehicle Safety Ordinance. The bench trial before West Virginia Northern District Chief Judge Thomas Kleeh was originally scheduled for Aug. 17. It also makes it illegal for both pedestrians and vehicle passengers to interact and pass or exchange items. It identifies Rodd as "a person who frequently gives donations from her vehicle to pedestrians in those areas." According to court filings from April, Peterson received three of the four citations issued under the ordinance to that point.
