If you live in Stanton or Clay City, improved access to Estill County is also important. The trip from Clay City to Richmond is closer via KY 89& 82 than going from Clay City to Richmond via KY 627 through Winchester. Powell Countians commute to EKU in Richmond KY. The closest route from Richmond to the Mt. Parkway includes KY 52 E, KY 89 N and KY 82 E. In other words, Madison and Powell countians have an interest in an improved KY 89 and 82! Think of the additional through traffic that would come into Irvine and Estill County if the road from Irvine to Clay City was completely rebuilt!!
If you live in Richmond and love to go to the Red River Gorge, you have an interest in improving this dangerous road! School buses from Madison, Garrard, Boyle County etc. visiting a ball team on the Mt. Parkway communities would find a trip through Irvine would cut off some distance.
So why is there no committee in Estill County to improve these dangerous roads? Why aren't local people and politicians putting the pressure on Frankfort to rebuild these roads? Why? Why should more young people die on a road that isn't safe for today's traffic? Why? Why does Estill County struggle when this road could solve many local economic problems? Why?
