A very important meeting about the I-471 / Route 8 interchange will be taking part on Wednesday, January 16th.
This is a multi-million dollar redesign of the entire area around 471, from exit 3 to the river and including from the end of the Purple People Bridge into Bellevue. Route 8 sucks as it is, and it is proposed at this time that Route 8 will become practically impossible to ride by bicycle as they are looking to turn it into something that resembles an interstate onramp with designs that totally ignore bicycles. The other safe haven for bicycles, Sixth Street, will be changed likewise making it almost impossible to ride east out of Newport.
It may not be too late to have them make world class bicycle facilities if enough people show up are vocal for bicycle facilities. The meeting is at Newport High School, 900 East Sixth St, Newport, KY. Please Please make time to come and let your voice be heard - just a few minutes of time talking to decision-makers and filling out a survey can make a huge difference!
Thank You!
Jason
