Victoria Pike says Not Enough Traffic for intersection lights A Democratic Party Contact Person's Response to Problem with Dark Intersection: That's what Adair Democratic Womens Club president is finding out when she advocates with the Kentucky Department of Highways and the Gov. Steve Beshear Administration, that traffic count does not yet justify lights at LBN/KY 61 Intersection. She's offered to put light up at own expense, but has been told she can't By Victoria Pike We have been told on numerous occasions that we DO NOT have enough traffic out here for the state to put up lights around the interchange. They have put out the counters several times but we still haven't qualified last I heard. I agree 100 percent that we need lights out here but they always say they can't do it unless we have a higher number of cars travel through in a specified amount of time. I even offered to put one up at my expense on the corner of our property to bring some light to the intersection in front of Walmart, and was told I couldn't. My own mother, Gertrude Browning, complains that she can't find our driveway at night. We had reflectors put up so we don't pass up where to turn. I have seen the interchange in Glasgow and the lights were one of the first things I noticed they had up. I have talked with several officials in the community about the problem and they get the same answer as I do. NOT ENOUGH TRAFFIC. My suggestion would be to put the counters out on the weekends instead of the middle of the week. I believe the numbers would be substantially higher then. People are coming in here from other counties spending at least a million dollars a day at Walmart. They have to get here in vehicles that travel our roads. I have been frustrated with the problem since day one but have hit a brick wall many times when trying to get to the root of the problem. Why we didn't have lights included with the interchange when it was built is beyond me.? I wish someone in authority would please answer this question for me. I am not giving up. I will continue to ask for lights at the interchange. Doing the best I can. -VICTORIA PIKEVictoria Pike, the writer of the article, and President of the Adair County Democratic Women's Club is a very active advocate for Adair County with the Administration of Governor Steve Beshear.
