Project team to share renderings of new sidewalk and parking options
PADUCAH, Ky. (Nov. 25, 2024) — The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) has scheduled a public meeting in Hickman County on Thursday, Dec. 12, to update the public on efforts to improve safety, access, and regional connectivity along U.S. 51 in the city of Clinton.
The project, which is still in the preliminary design phase, calls for improved pedestrian mobility throughout downtown Clinton, incorporating all downtown businesses and extending to the Farmers Market. Renderings, which will be on display at the meeting, will show options for sidewalks and multi-use paths, as well as options for improved on-street parking around the courthouse.
The public meeting will be held Dec. 12 from 5 to 7 p.m., CST, at Hickman Co. High School, 301 James H. Phillips Drive in Clinton. It will be conducted in an open house format, allowing attendees to view exhibits, talk to KYTC staff and project team members and ask questions about the project. There will be no formal presentation.
Funding is budgeted for this project in the Six-Year Highway Plan starting as early as July 2026.
Displays will be available for review at the meeting. Comment sheets will be available for those who want to provide feedback to help with the planning process.
Written statements will be accepted during the meeting. Comments also may be submitted by mail before January 30, 2025, to Austin Hart, Branch Manager Project Development, KYTC District 1 Office, 5501 Kentucky Dam Rd., Paducah, Kentucky 42003.
