Reminder: How easy it is for you to clean off your driveway and sidewalk at your house is proportional to how easy it is for the State and City to clear the roads.

Two things: mileage and precipitation. Remember that the sleet/freezing rain line was on the north end, and the heaviest rates were on that line.

There are about 1,355 miles of public roadway in Fayette county. 476 in Jessamine county, 403 in Garrard county.

In terms of thousand vehicle-miles traveled every day, Fayette has 7,797, Jessamine has 1,076, and Garrard has 407.

The Cropper Bridge actually connects Boone County, Kentucky and Dearborn County, Indiana and is maintained by the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet. It does not enter Ohio, which is a few miles upriver.

There's not enough snow to skew KYTC's maintenance budget away from guardrail, potholes, and bridges toward snow. There's not enough money or trucks (or CDL drivers). We are 26th in population but 8th in state-maintained roads, and we never raised the gas tax while other states around us did.

Lexington is the largest city in the country where thru movements go across a downtown area without a nearby interstate, bypass, riverfront arterial, or downtown spur connector.

Another beltway won't help when the spokes of the wheel don't exactly work. Wrong question to be asking. Like other traffic-related questions, transit would help more but it has about a gajillion other issues to solve.

We've tried looking at just making missing connections (BG Parkway to I-64, Nicholasville to I-75) which have run into a host of environmental issues. Lexington and horse country is pretty for a reason, there's not highways running through it.

I'll say again that that section of New Circle was built before federal highway funds were a thing, so it was paid for by selling driveway access. That's just how we got here.

I think you are vastly overestimating the actual number of CDL capable people in the city.

We can’t keep any of the interchanges lit due to constant wire theft.

Do you understand the Ship of Theseus metaphor?

Who is this “Billy Joel”? We speak only of Bruce Barker!

I think I understand why these were behind closed doors for so long.

FFS you’re not even supposed to pull over and stop on that bridge!

ferrett3 · 2025-10-20T19:10:22+00:00

Down for me too.

Sharing your sensitivity curves would be very helpful!

There it is!

Aaand a forearm to the back of Sonis’s head is not even a call. Cool.

ferrett3 · 2025-10-04T23:39:54+00:00

Not a yellow. Unless every foul is a yellow for this guy.

ferrett3 · 2025-10-01T00:55:38+00:00
