Caution:
Careful consideration should be given before sharing the information

Stakeholders’ meetings. Persons not attending the Local Official and
Stakeholders’ meetings will not have been fully informed of the planning study’s
purpose; scope; limitations – especially that of funding; schedule; and other
aspects.
KYTC
planning studies can be performed as many as ten years in advance of any
possible construction activities (see How
KYTC Builds Roads below). Planning studies constitute a high-level,
preliminary look that may produce several prioritized projects, alignments or
alternatives, which, dependent on funding, may not progress forward to
the next phase. Premature assumptions regarding possible projects, alignments
or alternatives may cause unnecessary concern for local property owners and
stakeholders.
The
final report for this planning study will be posted on the KYTC website at
the conclusion of the study. https://transportation.ky.gov/Planning/Pages/Planning-Studies-and-Reports.aspx

The Kentucky
Transportation Cabinet (KYTC), with assistance from Palmer Engineering, the
Ohio-Kentucky-Indiana Regional Council of Governments (OKI), and the Northern
Kentucky Area Development District (NKADD), have assembled a project team to
identify and examine transportation needs related to safety and mobility on Turkeyfoot Road from Barnwood Drive
to the bridge over I-275.
The study will identify and evaluate:
- The
purpose and need: improving safety and mobility
- Existing
conditions: geometrics, crashes, utilities, etc
- Current
and future capacity of the transportation network
- Environmental
concerns: geotechnical, human and natural elements
- Short-term
improvements that can be quickly and effectively implemented at both an
individual intersection level and at a corridor-wide level
- Long-term
concerns and projects for future programming
- Cost estimates and an analysis of impacts and
benefits
- Recommendations
that the KYTC, the
Ohio-Kentucky-Indiana Regional Council of Governments (OKI), the Northern
Kentucky Area Development District (NKADD),
Kenton County, the cities of Crestview Hills and Lakewood, and/or private
developers can take for further project development and implementation

The
funding for this scoping study is limited to this study only. Any projects identified during this study will
require separate funding through established state and local government
programming processes, and/or through private developers.
