(KNZA)--The Doniphan County Commission has been asked to close a portion of a county road.

County resident Mark Burke met with the Commission Monday to request that a portion of Elgin Road, south of Denton, be closed to traffic.  Burke said the road is impassable.

County Attorney Charles Baskins told the Commission that a public notice must be given to adjoining landowners and published in the official county newspaper that the matter will be considered at a public hearing by the Commission.

The Commission voted unanimously to start the procedure to close the stretch of road.

A public hearing date hasn’t been set yet.
