KIPDA and the Clark County Board of Commissioners asking seeking input from residents during an open house for the Clark County Transportation Plan.
The plan will assist county planners in making decisions to address the transportation needs for next 20 years. It will assess the conditions of the existing transportation network, study alternatives to correct these issues and offer recommendations for implementation to assure Clark County has a transportation system that meets its future needs.
The plan is composed of three reports. The initial report, called the “Existing & Future Conditions Assessment”, analyzed the existing transportation infrastructure and was the subject of a public open house last July. The second report, called “Alternatives Development”, builds on the needs identified in the first report, as well as suggestions received from the local agencies and public comments. It has created alternatives for all forms of transportation: vehicular, pedestrian, bicycle, and freight. Some examples include adding lanes to congested corridors, improving turn lanes at intersections with a high crash rate, and extending trails through a community. A digital version of the report will be available for download off the KIPDA’s website (www.kipda.org) beginning September 12th.
The study team is holding an open house style public meeting to hear from residents about the proposed alternatives. The meeting will be held from 5-7 p.m. on September 17th at the Ken Ellis Center in Jeffersonville, 1425 Pennsylvania Avenue., in Jeffersonville. It will allow participants to view maps of Clark County where alternatives for improvement are being proposed, receive copies of the Executive Summary to the “Alternatives Development Report”, and talk to project representatives one-on-one.
