(KLZA)-- Richardson County Highway Superintendent Scott Huppert presented information to County Commissioners this week on brush complaints along county roads. Huppert has reviewed the sites and submitted the list for Board for action. 

Brush along county roads, especially near intersections and railroad crossings can create dangerous situations.  The County sends out notices to landowners to clear roadside brush. If the landowner does not clear the brush, Commissioners can rule the brush a nuisance, then have the County Road Department clear the brush and assess the cost to the landowner.

Huppert told Commissioners later in the meeting that he is researching the idea of purchasing an excavator and plans to have a demonstration with and excavator as well as a brush cutter in the near future.
