The sidewalks that stretch around the outskirts of Bardstown that have proven to be so popular to local residents could be extended if the city gets approved for a grant from the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet for federal money through a Transportation Alternative Program. City engineer Jessica Filiatreau told the Bardstown City Council Tuesday night the 80/20 matching grant would extend the sidewalk on the south side of Templin Avenue that currently ends at the Wellington subdivision to the new Bardstown Primary School.
The project is one of 70 school highway safety projects Kentucky is investing in. Author: Taylor Weiter Updated: 5:40 PM EDT April 21, 2021
