NKADD and KY Transportation Cabinet Seeks Input: Every day we hear about terrible accidents on our local roads. The NKADD is partnering with the KY Transportation Cabinet’s Technology Transfer Program to develop a comprehensive safety action plan for Boone, Campbell, Carroll, Gallatin, Grant, Kenton, Owen, and Pendleton Counties. The safety action plan aims to reduce and eliminate serious injury and fatal crashes affecting all roadway users. We need your help in identifying safety concerns in our region.  Please take a few moments to complete the NKY Safety Action Plan survey. This survey will be combined with crash analysis and local agency review of roadways to identify potential safety issues on county roadways.  Once identified the NKADD and local counties will work to identify counter measures to improve safety.  The safety action plan will be used to direct local forces and funds and pursue additional funding from KYTC and USDOT.  Here is the survey link."

Update on Taylor Mill Road Sidewalks – Final Phase

The Kentucky Department of Transportation has approved the city’s sidewalk design plan and granted permission  to begin right-of-way acquisition for the third and final phase of the Taylor Mill Road Sidewalk Project. Phase III will run from Saddlebrook Drive all the way to Walnut Drive, next to the Trifecta Building. Acquisition is expected to take five to six months to complete. Once all the right-of-way is acquired, the city will put the construction phase of the project out to bid. This should happen in early spring 2025. It is our hope that with this schedule, the project should be completed by late fall of that same year. Once completed, there will be a constant sidewalk all the way from Pride Park, north to the Remke Shopping Center, back down Pride Parkway to Taylor Mill Road and back up to the park again.
