STATUS
Everything that FEMA has requested for project close out has been provided to them.
PRIME is performing a final internal plan review. Updated plans will be sent to City for a final review and to Maggie at
KYTC for the final environmental approval. PRIME sent me a plan set that has the disturb limits finalized. I have begun
working on getting the consent and release forms signed and have contact information for all the owners.
We only need the consent and release form from 650 Covert Run because 3 cars stack up from the back of the driveway
up to the edge of pavement. PRIME is checking to see if the design can be updated to stay off this property all together.
It sounds promising they can. Palmer has started on the environmental process, and Danny is working on the
stormwater component. PRIME to send plans to review ASAP. A new storm inlet will be installed near 611 Covert Run
so the owner can tie any private improvements to this if he wants.
PRIME sent an updated layout 6.25.26. This has been shared with the developer and SD1 so it can be coordinated
with their projects. Lochner is going to do the Environmental. The path may be widened and made thicker to
accommodate maintenance vehicles as needed. SD1 may end up paying for the retaining wall near the parking garage
as part of their micro-tunneling project that is being discussed.
We need the construction agreement from CSX signed by the City. Spec comments from KYTC have been addressed.
We will hold a pre-bid meeting to go over project details with the potential contractors. We just need construction
authorization from KYTC to get started.
We just need construction authorization from KYTC to get started.

2025 list of streets has been completed. Bids for 2026 resurfacing are due back on 6/29/26. The costs for Lafayette
can be removed since we were just notified that LARP funding for Lafayette was approved.
We met with PRIME to go over the details of the project so that design can continue. PRIME to coordinate with Mike
Benke Sidewalk
Jones with KYTC in Frankfort to see how environmental process will be handled.
Fairfield Ave
Environmental has been cleared. PRIME is looking into potentially extending the sidewalk in front of the Bellevue Vets
Sidewalk
back 6 inches to get 4’ of clearance around each of the utility poles.
Taylor at Center Cost share application has been submitted to SD1 for review.
