Overview
- Kentucky Transportation Cabinet halted the restriping proposal after an Erlanger meeting where officials pledged to reengage residents and local leaders.
- The pilot would convert four lanes to two with a continuous center turn lane between Turfway Road and Commonwealth Avenue through Florence, Erlanger and Elsmere.
- Project elements also include a four‑foot sidewalk buffer, wider lanes, reconstructed sidewalk ramps and radar traffic detection equipment.
- Local mayors, business owners and public safety officials objected to limited consultation and raised concerns over traffic flow, left‑turn access and emergency response.
- KYTC says the corridor carries roughly 16,000–21,000 vehicles daily and that reconfiguration can cut rear‑end crashes, while the timeline is now open‑ended and could slip to at least October.
