KentuckyWired anchor wire install and traffic protested By Linda Waggener Victoria Pike has attended the last two Fiscal Court meetings requesting action be taken on roadway blockage and on the installation of an unauthorized ‘anchor wire’ by KentuckyWired on her property outside of the legal right-of-way. County Attorney Jennifer Hutchison-Corbin sent a letter February 17, 2020 to Jamie Link, executive director of KCNA (Kentucky Communications Network Authority). In part, her letter states, “...This letter is in regards to issues that Adair County residents are having with the work being done on the KentuckyWired Project. County officials have received complaints of workers leaving their vehicles in the roadway well conducting their business, working after dark and not using traffic flaggers. My office has also received a complaint from a property owner of workers coming onto her property and attaching ‘anchors’ to a pole that is in a field where she has cattle. This work was not done on a right-of-way and was not authorized by the landowner or the electric company that placed the pole. The landowner states that she has reached out to numerous agencies regarding this unauthorized work with no one being able to assist her. I have enclosed pictures taken by a citizen of work being done well after dark with no flagger on site. Officials are concerned about the safety of our citizens and about an authorized work being done in our county and would appreciate your immediate assistance with this matter. I asked that you contact me or Adair County Judge Executive Gale Cowan at 270-384-4703. Sincerely, Jennifer Hutchison-Corbin, Adair County Attorney. Link responded the same day to the County Attorney. The letter stated, in part, that action will be taken immediately. Quoting from the response, “...You have raised very serious concerns and the Kentucky Communications Network Authority (KCNA) will address the situation immediately. As you may be aware, the KentuckyWired project is a public-private partnership. Accordingly, the design and construction of the network is the responsibility of a private entity known as Kentucky Wired Operations Company, LLC (KWOC). KCNA is a governmental agency responsible for overseeing that private contractor – KWOC... “... obviously, KWOC is obligated, along with any of its subcontractors, to adhere to all applicable laws and permitting requirements within the Commonwealth. These allegations are troubling and KCNA will immediately request that KWOC provide a full accounting of all work completed in Adair County to ensure all traffic safety laws were obeyed and that all construction was completed within appropriate areas.” Meanwhile, the landowner waits for the right of way to be returned to its legal position on her property. As to the trucks installing the project Blocking roadways without proper flagging, Sheriff Josh Brockman says that if the law is being broken his office will be able to shut the operation down to clear the road.
