This week’s Brazos County commission meeting (October 1) included two sets of comments about what is currently an unpaved county road where there are future plans for paving.
The status of Democrat Road east of Kurten was first brought up by a former precinct two commissioner who lives on that road. Russ Ford said he and his neighbors have had to ask to grade the unpaved road, which has been used as a detour around bridge repairs on Oak Lake Road.
Later in the meeting, current precinct two commissioner Chuck Konderla brought up future improvements along Democrat Road as part of his motion to move a Frontier Communications utility line. Konderla pointed out utility lines are being moved as the result of commission action during the summer to acquire the additional right of way to widen and pave the road.
The bridge repairs on Oak Lake Road are supposed to take three months to complete, weather permitting.
