The prickly issue of paving

a portion of Quarters Road is back on the Fayette County Commission's

agenda for Thursday night.

For the third time in the last

few months, Dan Hudson is asking the board to pave the portion between

High Grove and Alexander Ware Way.

Hudson previously explained

all the property owners on that portion of the road wanted it paved because

of the dust levels of the road and also safety concerns.

"It's not getting any

better. The traffic is increasing daily," he said.

During the last discussion,

Commissioner Linda Wells said she had issues with Hudson's request.

"I have a problem with

people who move to a nuisance. I'm afraid we're creating a hazard by just

paving that part,' she said.

While Commission Chairman Greg

Dunn's preference would be to pave the entire road, he said the county

had to be careful.

"I don't want to do it

if all the residents don't want it," he said.

During the last discussion,

the county staff was instructed to do a survey of the road to find the

exact center and right of way. Public works director Lee Hearn said if

the entire road was paved, thousands of trees would have to be cut down.

The meeting starts at 7 p.m.

at the Fayette County Administrative Complex.
