Notice of Opportunity to Request a Public Hearing On Reconstruction of U.S. 60 KENTUCKY TRANSPORTATION CABINET KENTUCKY TRANSPORTATION CABINET In Ballard & McCracken County KYTC Item #1-115, 1-115.1, & 1-118 This is to provide public notice that an environmental assessment (EA) for this project is available for public review and comment at https://transportation.ky.gov/DistrictOne/pages/default.aspx. Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) is affording the opportunity to request a public hearing to discuss proposed impacts of the project. The Property owners and nearby residents who have questions and comments regarding the proposed project may contact project manager Chris Kuntz using the address and phone number below. The proposed project involves the improvement of about six miles of U.S. 60 from east of LaCenter to the existing 4-lane section near the Ballard/McCracken County line east of Kevil. A range of alternatives were analyzed to improve mobility and enhance safety for the traveling public. A public meeting was held in June of 2019 to discuss the alternatives under consideration. Since then, design efforts and environmental studies have continued and anticipated impacts from the recommended design have been identified in the EA document. The recommended design creates a new 4-lane divided highway south of the existing U.S. 60 alignment. It avoids/minimizes impacts to environmental resources, is preferred by the public, simplifies maintenance of traffic during construction, and reduces project costs. The EA presents a history of the project, examines environmental impacts, and documents considerations in the decision-making process. Any interested person may request a public hearing for the subject project to discuss the environmental impacts from the proposed design. Comments on the EA and any requests for a public hearing must be submitted in writing by Tuesday, June 30, 2020 to the project manager: Chris Kuntz, P.E.
