The Mayor led the pledge.
PRESENTATIONS:
Communications Manager Pam Spencer provided the following summary:
Greenway Trail Southside Extension
Russell Clark with the National Park Service congratulated the community for successfully
developing a plan to expand bike lanes and greenway trails in Paducah. The project's goals
include connecting neighborhoods, encouraging active transportation, promoting Paducah as a
destination, and implementing complete streets that improve safety and bolster economic
development.
In June 2023, the City accepted the National Park Service — River, Trails, and Conversation
Assistance Program Technical Assistance Grant. Through this grant, National Park Service staff
has been assisting the City with the creation of a master plan to extend the Greenway Trail,
gather input for an urban bike loop plan, and prepare for a future application to become a
designated Kentucky Trail Town. After two years of public feedback through focus groups,
public meetings, surveys, and steering committee input, a plan is ready to be shared. The
community survey feedback included that safety is the biggest priority (50 percent of
respondents) and that comfort and conveniences (restrooms, drinking fountains, and shade trees)
are important along the trail.
The initial phase includes adding routes of varying lengths from the riverfront to Bridge Street.
To begin that phase, the Paducah Board of Commissioners approved a Municipal Order
authorizing a request for qualifications for the design and engineering of the Greenway Trail
Southside Expansion. Austin Hart with the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet announced that last
month a project was awarded to Jim Smith Contracting to perform a lane diet on Kentucky
Avenue from 3`d Street to 28th Street. Instead of the current four -lane roadway, Kentucky Avenue
will be converted into a three -lane roadway (two driving lanes with a center lane) and bike lanes.
Hart expects that project to begin next year.
The second phase of the project would improve Irvin Cobb Drive from Bridge Street to Wayne
Sullivan Drive as a "complete street" with a multi -use path on the north side of the road to
provide a greenway segment parallel to the roadway. Future expansions could be regional. Clark
said that he will be meeting next month regarding a Regional Trails Initiative through the
Purchase Area Development District.
PUBLIC COMMENTS:
Bonnie Koblitz (County resident) voiced concerns about the lack of public input during
the decisions being made at the former USEC site*
Mayor Bray commented that the reindustrialization of the former USEC Site has been
discussed extensively; however, the recently announced project was driven by the
President and it happened very quickly — which didn't leave time for public input.
• Michael Muscarella commended the City Commission for taking initiative to improve the
well-being of Paducah citizens (Greenway Trail, homelessness, warming center, etc) and
supports the expansion of the Southside Greenway Trail.
August 12, 2025
MAYOR'S REMARKS:
Mayor Bray also expressed his concern regarding the tragic incident that occurred during
the 8`h of August Celebration. He also remarked that this incident was NOT a part of the
planned celebration itself. The investigation is ongoing and the City is considering their
options to prevent something like that from happening again.
Expressed Congratulations to Commissioner Wilson and the entire Chamber team for
being recognized as Chamber of the Year.

DISCUSSION
Communications Manager Pam Spencer provided the following summary:
Golf Carts and Street -Legal Special Purpose Vehicles Discussion
Police Chief Brian Laird and City Clerk and Director of Customer Experience Lindsay Parish
provided an overview of golf cart and street -legal special purpose vehicle requirements as
outlined in their respective KRS chapters, KRS 189.286 and 186.077. These types of vehicles are
prohibited on roadways unless certain conditions are met. However, local governments can opt
in to permit these vehicles to operate on roadways by adopting ordinances.
This topic has come to the surface for many cities across Kentucky since during the 2025
Legislative Session, the General Assembly passed Senate Bill 63 which created the new section
of KRS Chapter 186 allowing street -legal special purpose vehicles to operate on roadways
provided that certain conditions are met. That bill went into effect on June 27. The legislation
defines a street -legal special purpose vehicle as an all -terrain vehicle (ATVs), utility terrain
vehicle (UTVs), minitruck, pneumatic -tired military vehicle, or full-size special purpose-built
vehicle (including self -constructed or modified vehicles) that meets specific equipment
requirements.
Parish provided various crash statistics including there are approximately 15,000 golf cart -related
injuries each year nationally and approximately 40 percent of those involve children under the
age of 16. Chief Laird added that the number one contributing factor to vehicular collisions in
Paducah is inattention. In 2024, there were 1747 traffic collisions with 290 of those collisions
August 12, 2025
resulting in injuries.
In a review of several Kentucky cities, Parish found that Calvert City permits special purpose
vehicles. Several cities permit golf carts including Frankfort, Bowling Green, Calvert City, and
Cadiz. Parish also outlined the various policy considerations that would need to be determined if
Paducah decided to move forward with permitting golf carts and/or street -legal special purpose
vehicles. Policy considerations include the process for selecting which streets would be
permitted, implementation process for local permitting, times for use, underage driving
considerations, and restricted areas.
The Paducah Board of Commissioners is interested in determining the best way to move forward
in permitting golf carts in Paducah but not special purpose vehicles.
