The first seven arches notice began with the stone-load register and the night watch’s closure notices. Since then, the city has moved through a source check, a public hearing and a trial at the Seven Arches crossing above the east ravine.
The current docket records 23 loaded crossings; the earlier file recorded 26. The count is more specific than the first summary, but still does not answer whether the fourth arch can carry trade carts while repair stones are brought up the same road.
A key point in the timeline was the discovery of a pale repair seam beneath the fourth arch, visible from the lower path. It narrowed the dispute from a general claim about the rule to a question about how the rule behaves at the site.
The inspector’s limit protects the oldest span; carriers say the alternate route adds a full stair and a second toll. The current record does not settle that disagreement. The parties now share more of the record than they did at the start, though they assign it different weight.
A public vote has approved a narrow change while leaving the larger question open. The entry belongs to the late-season check file at the Seven Arches crossing above the east ravine. The masons will place a temporary measure stone before authorizing the next heavy load. The next review will show whether the change lasts beyond this docket or returns as another temporary exception.
