Neighbors clash over preserving Ward Kline road in county talks
Residents along Ward Kline Road urge keeping their gravel, arguing widening would bring more traffic and ruin a “garden of Eden” feel. Phillip Rogers praises the area, while Tom Cross cites winter field access loss due to runoff from prior widening. County staff will report at December meeting. Separately, Knoxville resident Tim Houck laments paying $1,400 in taxes for no county services and asks for road maintenance or takeover.
