(KNZA)--A Brown County resident met with the County Commission at their March 10th meeting to discuss a proposed road improvement project.

Keith Grimm wants to see a portion of Goldfinch Road, which he lives along, widen due to safety concerns.

Grimm proposed leaving the current surface of the road alone, and adding shoulders to get to a total width of up to 30 feet. He said some portions of the road are as narrow as 21 feet.

Grimm proposed that a half-mile stretch be done as a trial project, starting at 270th Road and going south.

He said some county residents would help with construction in order to cut costs and asked if the county would put $50,000 toward the project.

The Commission will seek additional information and discuss it at upcoming meetings.
