Commissioners table resolution to close Gore Blvd/210th St. after hearing on trash and drug problems
Summary
After a public hearing, the Comanche County commissioners voted to table a proposed resolution to close a section-line road at Gore Blvd and 210th St., citing trash dumping and drug-related mischief raised during the hearing; commissioners said signatures from all landowners would be required for closure.
The Comanche County Board of Commissioners opened a public hearing on Jan. 20 to consider closing a road along the section line between Section 28 (T2N, R9W) and Section 33 (T2N, R9W)—identified in the minutes as Gore Blvd. and 210th St. Commissioner Ryan John explained that the closure request was prompted by ongoing trash dumping, drug issues and other mischief in the area.
Chairman Johnny Owens asked whether any property on the affected stretch was for sale; John replied it was not. Commissioner Josh Powers asked whether signatures from all landowners could be obtained to proceed with a closure; Commissioner John said they could. After discussion the board voted to close the hearing, then Chairman Owens moved and the board voted to table the resolution proposing the road closure. The motion to table passed with all three commissioners voting aye.
The minutes do not record public speakers against or for the closure beyond the board's discussion, and they do not list a timeline for when the board will revisit the resolution. The board cited neighborhood safety and nuisance issues as the basis for considering the closure, and indicated landowner consent would be required before moving forward.
