Mentelle and Kenwick neighbors met with city managers Thursday evening for the storm sewer project which will affect N. Ashland, Cramer and Mentelle Park. Ky American Water will also be replacing water
lines along the same route.
Plans are to tentatively start mid summer. Most of the discussion concerned storm water flowing down Cramer to the intersection with N. Ashland
where the water pools and presents a hazard for children walking to Ashland Elementary. Several water inlets will be placed along Cramer to alleviate this issue.
Also discussed was a raised intersection at Cramer and N. Ashland to deal with the standing water and to slow traffic but Traffic Engineering has concerns about the cost. Sidewalk bump outs were offered as an alternative at a much lower cost.
