KY 1357 (St John Road)
Input Needed On Proposed Impacts
The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet Needs Your Input on
Proposed Impacts to the Elizabethtown Sports Park and the Billy Creek Greenbelt
Trail
The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC), in partnership
with the Federal Highways Administration (FHWA) are seeking public input
regarding how the proposed improvements to KY 1357 (St. John Rd) between Ring
Road and the 31W Bypass will impact the Elizabethtown Sports Park (ESP)and the
Billy Creek Greenbelt Trail
The purpose of the project is to improve safety and
efficiency on KY 1357. The proposed improvements will widen KY 1357
to two driving lanes with a center shared turn lane. There will be curb and gutter as well as a 4
foot sidewalk on the north side and a 6 foot shared use path on the south side
of the improved roadway.
The preferred alternative will require approximately 0.49
acres of temporary easement from the Elizabethtown Sports Park to provide
equipment access for constructing the roadway improvements. This will cause temporary impacts to the
fencing and landscaping. Additionally,
the Billy Creek Trail will be temporarily closed during construction for safety
reasons. KYTC has coordinated with the
City of Elizabethtown extensively during the design phase to minimize the
impacts to the ESP.
Your comments will be used in determining any potential
effect the proposed path could have on the Elizabethtown Sports Park or Billy
Creek Trail or affect the activities, features, or attributes that make the
park and trail a Section 4(f)-eligible resource.
Please address any comments by July 31st, 2018 regarding potential 4(f) impacts
to the Elizabethtown Sports Park or Billy Creek Greenbelt Trail anticipated
