WILLINGNESS TO HOLD A PUBLIC HEARING
US ROUTE 220 SIDEWALK
PINE STREET TO BEECH STREET
City of Covington
State Project: UPC #121169, EN22-107-172, C-501
Proposed Project:
This sidewalk project will provide pedestrian access along US Route 220 (N. Alleghany Avenue) in a residential area with significant pedestrian activity where a sidewalk is not currently provided. The project would install an ADA-compliant sidewalk along the eastern side of US Route 220 from E. Beech Street to E. Pine Street, a distance of approximately 1,700 feet. The proposed alignment between E. Beech Street and E. Pine Street follows the alignment of an older brick sidewalk that was installed 50+ years prior. The existing brick sidewalk is completely obscured by grass/vegetation and there are sections that have been completely removed; however, the sidewalk alignment follows the existing grade and right-of-way (ROW) exists to accommodate the entire proposed sidewalk project. The project includes ADA-compliant pedestrian curb ramp improvements and crosswalks for all impacted movements with E. Beech Street, E. Cherry Street, and E. Pine Street. At the signalized intersection of E. Pine Street, new pedestrian signals with countdown timers, pedestrian push buttons, curb ramps, and crosswalks will be installed for the crossing of US Route 220 and E. Pine Street.
