MEADOWLAKES — Resident Joe Summers believes the age of cell-phone texting has a downside — especially because using the devices while driving can distract motorists and lead to an accident.

Summers is asking the City Council to approve a ban on texting while operating a motor vehicle. Officials, however, are worried about enforcing such a law and wonder whether a public awareness campaign will work better.
