KY 900 resident disheartened at criticism of State Road Dept. I moved here in 2001 from Chicago - and while it did take me time to adjust to snow removal and the conveniences of a bigger city, I would not trade where I live to move back. - MICHELLE COOMER By Michele Coomer Personal commentary I find it disheartening that Mrs. Miller is being so cutthroat regarding the State Road Department. I live at the beginning of Highway 900 and I know for certain that the plows and salt trucks did runs throughout Sunday evening, Monday morning up until Tuesday evening. I also know they go all the way through to Melson Ridge. I know many workers on the Road Department crew that worked straight through the evenings placing their safety at harm to clean roads for our safety. There were ample warnings on local and nationwide weather stations warning that this weather would be severe and to prepare for this in advance. Adair county was not the only county that had issues clearing the roads, other counties had the same issue. To rehash, we had rain for HOURS before the temperature dropped turning the rain to ice which then turned to snow ON TOP of all the ice. Even with the best road crews...this wasn't going to be cleared in 24 hours. Highway 900 and Melson Ridge Road are not an A or B road - we are a C road - which should get the last of any plowing or salt. However, this was not the case as both of these roads were being taken care of at the same time as A and B roads. I moved here in 2001 from Chicago - and while it did take me time to adjust to snow removal and the conveniences of a bigger city, I would not trade where I live to move back. It seems you are just upset with the area in general, but small town is not the city...it is just that small town. Work is hard to come by but not just by people who move in, it is hard to find employment in general. Sorry you feel unhappy about the location you moved to, but as an "implanted" person myself, I feel that griping about the area you moved to to people who are very proud of where they live is your entitlement - but to be honest, it's rude. - Michele Coomer Comments re article 65742 Kathryn Miller Stuck on Melson Ridge and unhappy about it This story was posted on 2014-03-07 07:42:33
