Petition aims to close a portion of a Christian County road to through traffic:
Holder Road has become the center of controversy in the small community near Clever. Those calling for the Christian County road to be closed are speaking out.
I saw this story covered a couple of weeks ago, and I’d not heard of Holder Road. But once a month, I drive from Republic to Nixa and like to take a couple of different routes just to keep things fresh. One is to take Highway ZZ to Highway 14, and the earlier story actually alerted me to this shortcut.
I tried to take it last Friday, but the article did not mention it is impassable in high water–it has a low water bridge–so I had to turn around part of the way along.
It’s a narrow and curvy road, so I don’t expect travelers can get up to a great head of steam on it, but country boys, you know.
But it does get my dander up when residents want the government to take a public good and make it private to them.
