The Ohio-Kentucky-Indiana Regional Council of Governments will host a public open house on Monday, July 6, to discuss improvements to KY 536 between KY 17 and the Kenton/Campbell county line.
This is the second in a series of three open house meetings planned this year as part of OKI’s KY 536 Scoping Study. The purpose of this meeting is for the community to review and give feedback on draft improvement alternatives being considered for this section of the roadway. The open house will take place between 3 to 6:00 p.m. at the William E. Durr Public Library, 1992 KY 16 (Walton-Nicholson Road), Independence 41051.
KY 536 is regionally-recognized as a critical roadway to improve access, mobility and economic vitality through Northern Kentucky. Improvements have already been identified for most of the roadway and work is in various stages of planning, design and implementation. However, improvements have not yet been determined for the portion that extends between KY 17 and the Campbell County line.
“We received great information from the community about what’s most important to them during our first open house in March,” said Kenton County Judge Executive Kris Knochelmann, second vice president of OKI Board of Directors and Project Development Team chair for the Scoping Study. “At the July open house, the community will be able to see and comment on the improvement alternatives that have since been developed based on study results and their feedback. Their additional input will help us refine the alternatives under consideration and ultimately, help determine which improvements will be recommended for construction.”
Improvement options range from upgrading deficiencies on the existing corridor to relocating KY 536 onto a new alignment while maintain the existing corridor as a local road. Maps depicting the alternatives and information about each will be on display and study team representatives will be available to answer questions and listen to comments. Open house exhibits and handouts as well as on online comment forms will be posted on the project website here, immediately following the meeting.
