Brunsville Group Seeks Change in Road Proposal
A Brunsville delegation of about fifteen residents pressed the state highway commission in Ames to keep State Highway 3-5 along the town’s edge. The commission plans a route from LeMars west to State Highway 29, placing Brunaville a mile south but offering a one mile hard surfaced stub. Officials warned funding, material supply, and timing affect any build, with possible cancellation if Plymouth county objects. Farmers along the new route reportedly urge the commission to proceed with the plan.
