(KNZA)--A Brown County resident wants to see a three-mile stretch of old Highway 75 stripped for safety reasons.

Steve Lukert meet with the Brown County Commission at their May 22 meeting to request that the outer lines of the road be stripped from U.S. 36 Highway to Sabetha.

Lukert said its especially difficult at night to see where you are at on the road.

The cost to stripe the road has been estimated at $9,000. Lukert said he would be willingly to raise $3,000 towards the cost, if Brown and Nemaha Counties would split the remainder of the cost. The two counties share maintenance responsibility for the stretch of road.

The commission made no decision on the request.

Lukert also recently meet with the Nemaha County Commission to make the same request.
