Suggests signage as on KY 461 for safer Bypass & Burkesville Linda Cook writes: Just a thought and/or two cents. What would it take to get signage such as that when traveling into Mount Vernon on Hwy. 461 or Somerset from the London/West 80 direction? In crisscrossing the state on a daily/weekly basis, I've noticed these signs becoming more common. Signs on the side of and over the roadway with flashing lights that state when flashing prepare to stop. This is linked to the stoplights at the upcoming intersection. Like others, I've also wondered at the lack of rumble strips. - Linda CookAbout: Outrage at 2nd horrific crash in 5 days at 'Bypass & Burkesville' 2018-09-04 16:14:22 | Comments | Printable version

Stop Bypass accidents II: speed enforcement is the answer Billy Joe Fudge writes: Speeding should not be tolerated inside the limits of Columbia. It is doable. Ask anyone who travels Hwy 111 between Livingston and Chattanooga. Dedicated enforcement by law enforcement and the judicial system will solve the problem. The health and well-being of our county's residents, visitors and travelers should supersede the minor inconvenience of having to slow down and we the public should accept nothing less. - BJFComments re article 99341 Outrage at 2nd horrific crash in 5 days at Bypass Burkesville 2018-09-04 14:56:06 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Commentary

Stop the Bypass accidents: thoughts on how it can be done "...I approach the intersection as if it is populated with 50-foot-long rattlesnakes that can devour a vehicle. I know I've irritated several drivers behind me with my creeping up to the intersection so that I can clearly see if cross traffic is stopped before I enter the intersection. That's the only way I feel halfway safe when crossing the bypass at that intersection..." - JC About - Outrage at 2nd horrific crash in 5 days at 'Bypass & Burkesville' Click on headline for complete story By Joyce M. Coomer Personal commentary The most logical thing to hopefully reduce the number of accidents at this intersection is for the state to turn over control of traffic signage, etc., on streets and intersections within the city limits to the city. I don't care how many traffic counters and on-site evaluations the state does at a particular intersection or on a particular road, the people who know the town's traffic patterns best are those who live and work here each and every day.

A Shout out for Clerk Greer & Staff & Dog & Cat licenses Mitzi Bault believes that when the numbers are run - she's working on that now - the Green River Animal Shelter's (GRAS) basic finances could be handled with simple compliance with the licensing requirements. Licenses for dogs are now required, but too few comply with it. GRAS, under the current manager, is a huge source of pride for Adair County. Sustaining the momentum requires a solid financial footing that the license income can provide. By Mitzi Bault I just want to thank Lisa Greer for taking on the duty of selling Dog & Cat licenses. Her office doesn't have to do. Her office gets 0% in fees for this extra effort.
