Dear John:
While discussing the proposed closure of the "ford" on Route 660, a second closure of
Route 644 was proposed. There appears to be no public necessity for the continuance of
this section of Route 644, as maintenance was discontinued many years ago, and the
roadway, at least on the Clarke side, is nearly impassable.
My Board feels that the safety and welfare of the public would be served best by
abandoning that portion of the Route 644 that lies within Clarke County.
Please let me know the sentiments of your Board members on this proposed closure. If
they agree, I will place this matter on my Board' s agenda to begin the process.
