Protest.
1. 
At any time not later than the hour set for hearing objections to the proposed bridge facility and/or major thoroughfare, any owner of property to be benefited by the improvement may file a protest against the proposed bridge facility or major thoroughfare or against the extent of the area to be benefited by the improvements or against both of them.
