Madison County approves discontinuance of small segment of Courage Road after inspections and public notice
Summary
The fiscal court approved a resolution discontinuing county maintenance for a portion of Courage Road in Waco after road commissioners and the road supervisor reviewed the segment; the area will be returned to adjacent property owners per the right‑of‑way survey.
The Madison County Fiscal Court approved Resolution 2025‑037 on May 13 to discontinue county maintenance for a partial segment of Courage Road in Waco and return that specific piece of right‑of‑way to adjacent property owners.
County staff said the discontinuance process followed Kentucky Revised Statutes (KRS) procedures, including published notices and a public hearing at 9 a.m. that day. Two independent road commissioners and the Madison County Road Supervisor inspected the roadway and submitted written reports as required by KRS before the court voted to remove the described portion of the roadway from the county road system.
Road department staff described the termination area as a turnaround/cul‑de‑sac solution created to address concerns about turning room at the road end; magistrates noted the finished configuration looked like a roundabout. The resolution authorizes the judge executive to execute documents necessary to complete the transfer to property owners per the attached right‑of‑way survey.
The matter passed on roll call and, according to staff, represents the final procedural step to complete a locally resolved project to improve access and turn‑around capacity on the road.
