In total, 82 people attended the public meeting last month to discuss proposed safety and mobility improvements along Westport Road. In addition, 277 surveys were completed online to provide additional feedback. One of the requests made of those participating was to rank the six suggested short-term improvements. The results are shown in the chart above. Extending the eastbound left and right turn lanes at Hurstbourne Parkway was ranked #1 by 84 people, making it the top priority among those who participated.
Meeting attendees and survey respondents suggested numerous other improvements as well. These included the addition of median islands, additional lighting for pedestrian safety, and consolidating entrances at certain locations along the corridor. The project team is currently analyzing those and many other suggestions for feasibility. A report will be published in early 2020 describing the study process and recommended outcomes.
The Metro Council is once again partnering with citizens, businesses, and other organizations to donate and help collect new coats for JCPS students in need. The JCPS Clothing Assistance Program has worked with the Metro Council the last two years to make sure any donated items are provided to the students who will most benefit from these gifts.
I am asking for your support to make this year's drive a success. The event will run through December 19. Craig & Landreth has generously offered to accept donated items at any of its Kentucky locations: Dixie Highway, Hurstbourne, Fern Creek, Shepherdsville, St. Matthews, and Crestwood.
