Resident of KY 900 for 25 years praises KY Highway Dept. Comments re article 64434 Jarrett Miller says KY 900 gets little from road crew By Shelly Grady Personal Commentary I just had to respond to this article. I lived off Road 900 for over 25 years; I still have family and children who live out there. In the 25 plus years I have lived out there, that road was always taken care of; because of the turns and the way the road leans and the hills, I can remember thinking, "Man, they got this one fast." I always knew it was a C road and I always knew the road crews would clean it when they got a chance. I was also grateful they would come salt and clear it considering it is a dangerously curvy hill! I feel like the road crews are still doing their jobs as ALL of my children are able to get in and out and do not miss days for work due to weather. I think, given the extent of the weather this year and the severity of the temperatures, we should be more thankful the road crews can even start the trucks required to drop salt and clear the roads. - Shelly Grady 2014-01-07 15:14:33 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Commentary

Road crews do an awesome job Leshia Fair writes: I think Adair County has an awesome road crew and that they do an awesome job. I have lived on "C" roads in the past and it is frustrating in inclement weather, but I get that it has to be prioritized. But what I do know is - this county's "main roads" are very well maintained. I cross the county line twice a day - no matter the weather - and you know when when you hit the county line.Comments re article 64438 Curtis Grant replies to criticism of the State Highway Department 2014-01-07 04:00:11 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Commentary Birthdays and Anniversaries for January 7 Happy Anniversary, James E. and Patricia Bennett (1989) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Betty Cash | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Clarence Steve Corbin | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Colby Cowan | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Collin Curry (1999) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Dana Parnell | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Daniel Coenen | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Felicia Morgan (1994) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Jeanette Franklin (1946) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Jennifer Dial | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Joe Feese. | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Josh Bennett | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Kara Feese | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Krishana Lynne Melson | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Melinda Beard | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Nancy Parnell | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Tim L.
