The preferred alternative for the Northeast Glendale Connector Project has been selected.
According to the Glendale Mobility Study’s website at www.glendalestudy.com, a modified version of Alternative Three was selected. The KYTC says “The new connector northeast of town between Mud Splash Road and KY 1136 would be a two-lane road, including a series of roundabouts to calm traffic and provide connectivity to the local roadway network and businesses.” The design includes a 10-foot-wide shared use path along the southern side of the road to maintain as much of the existing tree canopy as possible, and a raised median was removed from the design.
“Nailing down this preferred alternative just gives us some more definition as we move ahead with the next step of the process, which will be the ultimate design, and then right of way and utility work, followed by construction,” said KYTC District Four Public Information Officer Chris Jessie. “At this point, we don’t have a good timeline that we can present because these next steps depend on budgets and funding. As these funds become available, we’ll certainly update the general public and post that information on the GlendaleStudy.com website. That’s a good go-to for everybody to find out the latest it’s going on on the project.”
The KYTC says the alternative was selected based on public and stakeholder feedback along with project costs, benefits, and impacts.
