Turkeyfoot Road Improvement Project – Mayor Meier, Council Member McKinley, and Alex Mattingly met with State Representatives Adam Koenig and Buddy Wheatley in February regarding this project. Specifically discussed with each were concerns about the current design of the Thomas More Parkway extension on the western side of Turkeyfoot Rd., and issues with the communication presented and input solicited by KYTC. B. Horsebranch Rd. Guardrails – The City hired Viox & Viox to conduct a review on the appropriateness of guardrails in the right-of-way area adjacent to 767 Horsebranch Rd. Jon Girdler conducted the review for Viox, and did not recommend guardrails. Among the reasons: guardrails in this location do not meet KYTC guardrail standards, and a guardrail could become a hazard to motorists. C. Shinkle Rd. and Summit Repaving – Prime AE Engineering is working on the plans for this work; the project will likely be put out for bid in April 2022. D.
