(KLZA)-- A group of concerned citizens met with Richardson County Commissioners last week regarding the conditions of rural roads in the county.

Neal Kanel and Ben Steffen made the initial presentation to the Board with nine other residents from throughout Richardson County also requesting to address the Board.

Concerns were voiced about the safety of some roads due to road width and the overall condition of the roads, especially with school starting and harvest season getting near.

Highway Superintendent Steve Darveau Jr. explained to the group the problems with a project on 637 Avenue between 712 and 713 Road northwest of of Dawson, noting the situation with the project is being corrected.

County Attorney Samantha Scheitel assisted the Board with facilitating the session.

During the weekly Road Department update, Darveau noted that he and Third District Commissioner Rick Karas had attended a demonstration using the County's “road groomer” and a tractor being considered for purchase by the County to make certain it would be capable of pulling the equipment. The tractor was found to be able to pull the machine.
