Bicycle-Pedestrian Plan

The first public meeting for our ongoing bicycle and pedestrian planning process was held on Wednesday, February 25th at the Scott County Extension Office. We had great attendance and are putting together recommendations to bring back to the public in the coming months. In the meantime, we would love to get your input! We’ve created a survey where you can identify locations you would like to see improvements to bicycle and pedestrian facilities within the county. You can also tell us more about your biking and walking habits or desires. Please follow this link to visit our survey online: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1vev0p8adKRissieRMeiqN0cUQmq3udFY9s_NddFmKvI/viewform. You may also access the link from our office’s dedicated bike-ped planning page: www.gscplanning.com/bikeped. We’ll post to the website periodically through the process, so check back for updates!

Mapping Your World

While the last of the snow piles from the most recent storm were melting away, we were already thinking about next winter. Ryan is currently working with the City Engi-neer and Public Works De-partment to map out the prior-itization of snow plowing routes for Georgetown. The map will assist City officials and workers as they plan for and serve the community dur-ing inclement weather events. When those routes are final-ized, we’ll have an address-searchable webmap you can use to help you plan your day when winter weather strikes!

Meet Mark Sulski

The newest member of the Planning Com-mission is Mark Sulski, Market President of Kentucky Bank. Mark and his family moved to Georgetown in 2010 from Chicago. He and his wife of 26 years, Kelli, have three children, ages 25, 16, and 8. Mark is active in several civic organiza-tions. “I want to make a difference in the city in which I live. I want to help maintain a great community where people can feel safe raising a family.” Welcome, Mark!

Website is up and running!

Our new website has finally been launched and has many new features that we hope will make navigating the site easier and provide access to the information and resources you need. One addition of note is that the staff report for each project that is heard by the Planning Commission is now available on the site so that interested parties can be-come familiar with the issues and recommendations that will be discussed. And don’t forget that the agenda for each meeting is also posted the week prior to the meeting. So check it out, and let us know what you think . . . http://www.gscplanning.com.
