Columbia, Adair Co., KY toll roads might be possible, soon Bill with exciting possibilities, changes to KRS 175B, pre-filed by President Williams for 2008 General Assembly consideration; link to bill and CM 1996 Armchair Engineers story, below By Ed Waggener ColumbiaMagazine.com story Huge locally initiated projects, including toll roads and bridges, might be possible in Columbia and Adair County and other smaller government units if a bill prefiled by State Senate President David L. Williams becomes a reality. Adair County Judge Executive Ann Melton said yesterday, January 2, 2008, that she and other county judges around the state are following the bill with great interest. Senator David L. Williams, (R. Burkesville, KY) prefiled a bill to change KRS Chapter 175B. The changes which would allow local governments to create infrastructure authorities for such projects as toll roads and bridges. Senator Williams at one time represented Adair County in the State Senatre, and has retained a great interest in the county's development, especially road projects which also help his native Cumberland County. While City and County leaders are working with the Kentucky Department of Transportation and with local legislative leaders to get badly needed highway projects in Adair County, the change Senator Williams seeks could allow entities such as the City of Columbia or Adair County, or both, jointly, to build such items as the Eastern Bypass, the Tunnel under the Louie B. Nunn at Industrial Drive, or the Oak Street Bypass from Sandusky Street to Green Hills. An article in ColumbiaMagazine.com published over 10 years ago suggested some much needed projects which might be possible if Senator Williams' change to KRS 175B becomes law.Click here to read "Armchair Engineers Offer Pocket Change Solutions To Columbia's Traffic Problems," from the September 15, 1996, print edition of Columbia! Magazine, which outlined several obvious shortcuts suggested by Randall Pyles, Charles Barnes, Ralph Waggener, and by the author of the article. New projects which might be added to the list include the Pedestrian Bridge connecting Lindsey Wilson College to downtown, a world class Columbia-Adair County airport, a Lake Cumberland Parkway from the Boondoggle extension to KY 55 South on the Columbia Western Bypass, to increase Lake Cumberland tourist traffic through Columbia, KY, and it may sound far-fetched but it's been done elsewhere.
