SELECTION OF U.S.HWY 45 CROSSING DESIGN FOR GREENWAY TRAIL
PHASE II
City Engineer Rick Murphy, gave a report on the above topic. He gave 4 design
alternatives for the crossing which are as follows:
Alternative A: Pedestrian Overpass
Alternative B: At Grade Crossing
Alternative C: Pedestrian Underpass (City Engineer recommendation)
Alternative D: No build
According to Mr. Murphy, Alternative A is estimated at $700,000 and is not a viable
option. Alternative C is ready for State consideration and approval. Other design
considerations will delay the project. He requested the Board choose one of the
Alternatives as soon as possible. A decision is imperative due to an extension request
being necessary because the Transportation Enhancement grant award of $500,000 will
expire March 26, 2013.
(For details an excerpt from the Commission Highlights prepared by Public Information
Pam Spencer is at the end of the minutes.)
PUBLIC COMMENTS REGARDING PROJECT
Nick Warren asked for clarification to questions regarding Alternative C.
Richard Glaskock
Renee Rainey asked if lights and a source of communication could be placed along the
trail for security issues.
Durwin Ursery asked for other recommendations be considered for the crossing to have a
better look at the environmental and safety issues.
DECISION CHOOSING ALTERNATIVE FOR GREENWAY TRAIL CROSSING
Commissioner Gault offered motion, seconded by Commissioner Wilson, that the Board
of Commissioners authorize the City Engineer to proceed with the below grade crossing
in conformance with Alternate C as presented for the U.S. Highway 45 Crossing Design
for the Greenway Trail Phase II Adopted on call of the roll, yeas, Commissioners Gault,

"CITY COMMISSION HIGHLIGHTS"
Excerpt from Commission Highlights prepared by Public Information Officer, Pam Spence:
"Selection of U.S. Highway 45 Crossing Design for Greenway Trail Extension
City Engineer -Public Works Director Rick Murphy provided a presentation regarding the
options for the greenway trail to cross U.S. Highway 45 to link the City's existing trail
segments. Currently the City has a 1.75 mile trail that links Noble Park to Stuart Nelson
Park and terminates at County Park Road. Another 1.67 mile section, which is in its final
stages of completion, runs from the Expo Center to behind the Smoke Shop on North 8th
Street. To link those two sections, a new stretch of trail would be constructed along the
floodwall levee from Noble Park to U.S. 45. A pedestrian underpass has been designed
under the highway to allow for a safe crossing for walkers, joggers, and bikers. The
underpass would include lighting. However, the proposed 52 -foot long underpass would
cost an estimated $436,000. Looking at other options, Murphy estimates a pedestrian
overpass, a bridge, would cost approximately $700,000 due to the height and size of the
structure. Another option would be to cross U.S. 45 at grade. However, Murphy
explained that an at -grade crossing would cost an estimated $239,000 since the geometry
of U.S. 45 would need to be reconfigured to reduce the cross slope (the banking) of the
road. Currently the road has a slope of 10%, but to be handicap accessible the slope
would need to be reduced to 5%. Due to the limited site distances on the road, a
pedestrian traffic signal would need to be installed. However, Murphy has had responses
from the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet that a signal would not be permitted on U.S.
45. The Commission made a motion to authorize Murphy to proceed with the project
with the pedestrian underpass design. Commissioner Allan Rhodes voted against the
underpass design saying that he would like to have a less expensive option.
Funding: The estimated total cost of this phase of the greenway trail which would run
from Noble Park at the skatepark to U.S. 45 is estimated to be $1.15 million which
includes design, property acquisition, and construction. After the project receives State
approval, the City hopes the cost will be less once bids are received for the project. The
City has available funds totaling $947,000 which include a $500,000 Transportation
Enhancement grant, $100,000 in funds from an endowment, $147,000 in remaining funds
from previous trail projects, and $200,000 in funds from a bond. "
