Public hearing arranged by KYTC for discussing tentative designs on the upgrade plan for Frogtown Road
The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) has announced a public meeting for the Frogtown Road (KY 3060) improvement project in Boone County. The meeting will take place on July 30, from 5-7 p.m., at the Scheben Branch of the Boone County Public Library [1].
The project aims to enhance safety, connectivity, and mobility for vehicles, pedestrians, and bicyclists along the stretch of KY 3060 between US 42 and US 25. The proposed design includes widening Frogtown Road to three lanes—one lane in each direction plus a center turn lane—and adding two shared-use paths separated from vehicular traffic [1].
Two designs have been proposed for the project: Design A and Design B. Design A features widening Frogtown Road to three lanes and improving pedestrian and bicyclist infrastructure, while Design B proposes two lanes throughout the corridor with similar improvements for pedestrians and cyclists [2].
At the meeting, representatives from KYTC and the engineering design consultant will attend to answer questions and provide information about the project. Interested individuals can review the preliminary designs, receive project information, and fill out comment sheets to provide citizen input [3].
In compliance with Title VI, translation services are also offered upon request [4]. For individuals with disabilities, accommodations can be requested by contacting Maggie Enzweiler via email at [email protected], phone at (502) 564-4250, or by mail to the KYTC District 6 Office [4].
The final design phase of the Frogtown Road improvement project will take place over the next one to two years. Completion is expected by Fall 2023, with property acquisition possibly starting that year. No construction dates have been set yet [1].
For the most current meeting location and online survey access, please refer to the official Kentucky Transportation Cabinet District 6 project page. Open Records Requests can be submitted to the Transportation Cabinet, Office of Legal Services, Transportation Office Building (200 Metro St, Frankfort, KY 40622), or via [email protected] [5]. The meeting record and supporting documentation will be made available for review and copying only after an Open Records Request has been received and approved.
KYTC has also provided a project website with information about the preliminary designs, timeline, and maintenance of traffic comparisons during construction [6].
