Lancaster County directs engineering study to consider vacating road near Prairie Home
Summary
County engineering told commissioners the road near Prairie Home is essentially a grass two‑track and the board approved a resolution directing a study to consider vacating the public right‑of‑way; a subsequent hearing will follow the study.
The Lancaster County Board of Commissioners voted unanimously June 2 to direct the county engineer to study vacating a portion of public road right‑of‑way near Avenue Village/Prairie Home.
John Bur of Lancaster County Engineering explained the road is "more of a, I'm going to say a minimum maintenance street than anything else," describing it as mostly grass and a two‑lane path with an alley that is "just grass" and seldom used. Bur said the study will precede a public hearing on any proposed vacation.
Commissioners moved and seconded a resolution to authorize the study and called for a staff report and hearing once the engineering work is complete. The resolution passed by roll call vote.
The study will evaluate regrading, ditch work and whether to formally vacate the right‑of‑way; Bur said the county is also preparing another nearby road item for consideration at a future meeting.
