(KNZA)--A Brown County resident is requesting that a road be vacated.
Bruce VanEpps met with the Brown County Commission Monday to ask that they consider vacating a half mile stretch of Thrasher Road east of the Upper Wolf Lutheran Church between 175th and 180th Roads.
VanEpps said the road hasn’t been used for years. He said it’s posted as closed, but that doesn’t stop people from trying to go down it. VanEpps said there is an abandoned bridge on the road, which is currently under water.
He said the other adjacent property owner, Larry Oltgen, is in support of vacating the road.
Commissioners asked County Attorney Kevin Hill to look into the request. He will report back to Commissioners next Monday.
