What should the city do to address infrastructure needs?
...
Nachazel: Streets and sidewalks are the largest pieces of infrastructure the we are in charge of building and maintaining. We have a five-year road plan that is evaluated annually and projects are prioritized case by case. The city works closely with other entities such as Sanitation District 1 utilizing a 50/50 cost share program. A recent example of this was the Grace Avenue Project. When sewer lines are replaced the city will replace the road as well with a 50% cost savings.
The city also worked closely with telecom carriers and Alta Fiber to grant right of way access to them so our city is set up for modern life.

With heightened concern around the region related to pedestrian and cyclist safety, what do you think should be done to improve this area in your city?
...
Nachazel: I am chairperson of the city’s Safety Committee, which includes our police chief, public works director, and a few residents. We are lucky to have a resident who is an engineer specializing in traffic/roads as well as grant writing. As a committee, we have worked closely with Kentucky Transportation Cabinet District 6 to add crossing signals at intersections along Dixie Highway where there weren’t any (i.e. Dixie at Fortside Drive).
We have also added “Yield to Pedestrian” signs at Dixie and I-75. The city has added painted crosswalks to heavily used intersections that fall under city purview and worked with the state to follow suit.

We’ve addressed visibility and site line challenges with vegetation. We’ve added permanent “know your speed signs” on Beechwood Road and are in the process of adding ones to other heavily traveled streets like Pleasant Ridge. Many of the items listed above and ticketing are “reactive” approaches to addressing speeding and safety. A more proactive approach to calm traffic happens in the design/build phase.

Said the city granted right-of-way access to telecommunications carriers and AltaFiber to support modern telecommunications infrastructure.

Worked with state transportation officials to add pedestrian crossing signals, yield signs, and painted crosswalks at heavily used intersections.

Said the city annually evaluates its five-year road plan and uses cost-sharing when sewer replacement projects also require road work.

According to Nachazel, parents teaching their children good safety measures should be part of a “group effort” in the city to promote safety. Using the proper riding equipment is vital to safety.

“The city has done everything we can to regulate this,” Nachazel said. “My best recommendation is for folks to wear helmets. At the end of the day, we can’t force anyone. But we encourage it in the event of an accident.”
