Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Campbell County public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Spring paving change order
Four roads paved this spring needed 178 extra tons of asphalt, adding $9,211.49 to the Mago Construction contract. The contractor is still about $58,000 under the next bidder.
Clay Ridge Road safety striping
After resurfacing Clay Ridge Road this summer, the county is paying Mago Construction $6,389.20 to add nearly 16,000 feet of edge line striping for safety.
New roadside mower for the Road Department
A $254,324 boom mower replaces a 2013 tractor that's become too expensive to keep repairing, and should help crews keep steep county roadsides trimmed.
New stop signs on Redstone Road and Southbrook Drive
Drivers on Redstone Road and Southbrook Drive will now face stop signs, an always-stop condition added to the county's traffic schedule.
Parking ban on Goldeneye Drive fire lane
Parking is now prohibited along the Goldeneye Drive fire lane, enacted after a majority of residents there petitioned for it.
KY 536 project between US 27 and AA Highway
Over 250 residents turned out for a July 9 public meeting on the KY 536 project; the state's project manager is still responding to public comments. Commissioners praised the turnout and KYTC's handling of it.
$362,000 state grant to resurface Poplar Thicket and Murnan Roads
New state LARP funding will repave roughly five miles of two county roads. Drivers on those routes get smoother pavement at little local cost.
State gas tax suspension squeezing county road funding
State road aid is down about $155,000 because gas tax collections are falling — but the county still has the same roads to maintain. Commissioner Besecker pressed on this, and staff confirmed the county covers the gap one way or another.
Fall road projects: resurfacing and reconstruction
The court green-lit bidding fall resurfacing of Murnan, Ripple Creek, and Poplar Thicket roads, plus reconstruction of Mallard Drive and a stretch of Labrador Lane — all FY 2027 projects.
