He had some questions about the recent work on Ky. 90 in the Cave City city limits.Brown had three main concerns: The shoulder width, a turn lane and the speed limit.Cave City Mayor Dwayne Hatcher said highway 90’s removed right-turn lane would be corrected, recounting a conversation with Kentucky Transportation Cabinet District 3 engineer Joe Plunk. Hatcher said Plunk hoped the work could be completed before the holidays but could not provide a date.Hatcher said widening the shoulders would be harder than correcting the turn lane, though he did not rule it out. The roadway is a state roadway, so the city has no involvement in the work, he said.Brown raised concerns about pedestrian access, including the effect on a disabled veteran living at Glenwood Court. Brown said the veteran’s only transportation is a wheelchair and that he can no longer get to the store without someone picking him up because there is no where along the roadway for him to drive his motorized wheelchair.Council member Andrew Bagshaw said maybe grant money could be used to build sidewalks in the area.Hatcher said that was a good idea, and they can look into it. He added that building sidewalks could take several years because of the cost, and the process of requesting grant money.Finally, Brown said the 55 mph speed limit was too high in that area. Hatcher said he would discuss that request with highway officials.Hatcher also reported work on a hole at the road’s edge. He said crews had used flowable fill to keep more water from entering and were waiting for utility 811 location clearance before digging it out and installing a clay cap.Key Facts:– Hatcher discussed the Highway 90 concerns at the Nov. 9 council meeting.– Hatcher said Plunk confirmed the removed right-turn lane would be corrected.– No completion date was provided for the turn-lane correction.– Brown requested a reduction in the 55 mph speed limit.– Sidewalks would require a separate project, Hatcher said.– Crews were awaiting utility clearance for further work on a roadside hole.</div></body>
