County asks state to keep local road open near Ottawa
Franklin County commissioners vote 5-0 to send a tort letter to the Kansas Department of Transportation opposing the planned closure of Pawnee Road as part of the U.S. 59 project. The route would cross 135 northeast of Ottawa and connect to I-35, with building possible in 2007 or 2008. The closure would hinder farmers, trash haulers, and growth plans in the flood-prone area.
