  • Kentucky Parkway System
    KENTUCKY PARKWAY SYSTEM D. H. Bray, President Brighton Engineering Company Frankfort, Kentucky Before discussing the Kentucky Parkway System, I want to touch first on the historical background of turnpikes, both those in general use and also those in Kentucky before 1952. My objective in saying anything about this historical background is because I think it will be interest­ ing_for you to see what parallels there are between the necessities and practices of turnpike con­ struction in those times compared with what we are now doing in Kentucky. I think this will give you a better perspective of this subject of toll roads. Following this historical statement, I will describe briefly the toll roads that have been built in Kentucky since 1952 under the two different legislative Acts, which pertain to the method of financing and the handling of the work. Then for the rest of my presentation and the part which is particularly fitting to the subject matter, in which those of you attending this committee ses­ sion on planning and research may be most interested, I will discuss the Kentucky toll roads con­ structed since 1952, their planning and location, special design and research features, and some maintenance experiments on them. Then in conclusion I will state the advantages, as I see them, of Kentucky's modern toll road program. Some 500 years ago there emerged in England a common law whereby the inhabitants of the parishes were bound to keep all roads in their parishes in repair. The local residents found this duty a real burden, especially for the up-keep of those roads that carried a considerable volume of through traffic.

  • Economic Impact Study Heartland Parkway
    Economic Impact Study Performed for Heartland Parkway December 2003 Heartland Parkway Economic Impact Analysis Younger Associates has projected the annual economic impact of the Heartland Parkway when the route is completed from the Louie B. Nunn Cumberland Parkway to the Bluegrass Parkway. When the Heartland Parkway is completed, the regional economic impact from increased business output and retail sales is projected to be $2.28 billion annually. A total of 2,596 jobs are projected to be created as a result of this increased activity. To determine the magnitude of the potential economic impact of the Heartland Parkway, key indicators were compared between the economies of rural counties with parkway access and rural counties without parkway access. The counties selected are not part of a Metropolitan Statistical Area, nor are the counties to be served by the Heartland Parkway. For the comparison, a group of seven counties without parkway access were selected: Ballard, Breathitt, Carlisle, Lewis, Owen, Owsley, and Robertson. Another group of seven counties with parkway access was selected: Barren, Clay, Graves, Grayson, Ohio, Webster and Wolfe. Obviously, a vast number of physical, historical, and demographic factors influence the level of economic activity within any individual county or region. However, there is a clear variation in the level of economic activity among the group of randomly selected non-parkway counties and the group of parkway-served counties. The area to be served by the Heartland Parkway has a potential for economic expansion that is at least equal to, or possibly greater than, the increased rate of economic activity seen in rural counties with parkway access when compared to rural counties without parkway access.
