Seven years ago Walnut Ridge resident Jim McMillon asked the Lawrence County Quorum Court to implement safety measures at two locations. He petitioned the court again Monday.
He brought with him a petition signed by more than 500 Lawrence County residents to show support for the effort.
The first request was to erect gates on both ends of Lawrence County Road 451 that could be locked when the road is flooded and hazardous. The county road runs between Highway 412 West and Midway Road.
