Ware County considers relocating Roscoe Mixon Road to increase safety near church
Summary
County staff presented Resolution 2025-14 to relocate Roscoe Mixon Road; deeds and plats are complete and the church is donating a 45-foot right-of-way; commissioners discussed safety for children and precedent concerns and the job was estimated to take about 1.5 days.
County staff told the board on July 14 that paperwork and surveys for relocating Roscoe Mixon Road are complete and the county is prepared to proceed once the resolution is approved.
County Manager James Shubert said warranty deeds and plats have been completed and the area surveyed; Public Works Director Larry Thrift said boundary stakes need resetting and that the church is offering a 45-foot right-of-way in place of the existing 30-foot right-of-way. Commissioner Leonard Burse expressed concern about setting a precedent when the county helps churches but said the primary rationale is safety for children who run and play near the current road; Public Works estimated the relocation could be accomplished in roughly a day and a half. The relocation resolution was added to the regular meeting agenda for formal action.
