Ed Wise motioned to approve and Genie Wambaugh seconded, all voting in favor. Continuing Business A. Turkeyfoot Road Improvement Project – No update. Mike Yeager will contact Mike Bezold at KYTC for a project status. It was discussed to follow up with KYTC Deputy Secretary Mike Hancock as well. B. Shinkle Rd. Repaving – The contractor has completed the storm water improvements, new curbing, and sidewalk work. The blacktop work will occur sometime in early Spring 2023. C. Horsebranch Rd. Sidewalks – Mike Yeager gave an update on the CMAQ Funds grant application, and estimated that it was unlikely that the project will be funded. This item will be removed from the committee agenda unless other funding sources become available. D. Dixie Hwy. Sidewalk Improvements (Whitehouse Drive to North City Boundary with Lakeside Park) – The City is still waiting on formal notification that the Transportation Alternatives (TA) grant was awarded to Crestview Hills for this project. CT Consultants has been contacted to coordinate this grant and work for the City. E. Thomas More Parkway Crosswalk – Adleta Construction will be starting work on this project on or about December 8. F. Vernon Drive Reconstruction – City Engineer Mike Yeager reported that design work on this project is progressing. It was agreed to extend this project further toward Rossmoyne Drive to better address the planned stormwater improvements. Discussion ensued among committee members about whether the reconstruction should be blacktop or concrete – Mr. Yeager said 1 there are different advantages to both. He will provide the City with a cost comparison between the two, and Mr. Mattingly will send this info out to committee members. G. Duke Energy Streetlight LED Conversion – This project is ongoing – the City has had some difficulty getting Duke Energy to move the work forward. Although, further meetings on this project with Duke Energy are planned. H. Thomas More Parkway Curb Repairs – Mike Yeager and John Scheben are working to firm up the project scope and the corresponding plans. I. Thomas More Parkway Streetlight LED Conversion – After much searching, John Scheben has found a contractor to complete this work, Elliot Construction.
