Facility: Conner Road (CR 1042B)

Location: KY 237 (North Bend Road) to KY 20 (Petersburg Road)

Project Type: Bike/Ped

Priority Level: Tier 1

Cost Estimate:

Design Utilities Right of Way Construction TOTAL
$160,000 $250,000 $410,000 $1,230,000 $2,050,000

Benefits:

  • A dedicated bicycle and pedestrian facility would be provided along Conner Road to connect residential properties and Conner High School to the Cincinnati-Northern Kentucky International Airport (CVG) loop trail network.
  • The project would connect to a proposed multi-use path along KY 237 and to an existing sidewalk along KY 20.
  • The project will provide pedestrian signals at the KY 237 intersection with Conner Road to connect the existing sidewalk along Wright Boulevard and the proposed multi-use path along KY 237.
  • The proposed multi-use path will support Boone County’s overall goal of improving safety and connectivity for bicycles and pedestrians.  Click HERE for a map of multi-use paths in Boone County.

Challenges:

  • The sidewalk project will require additional right-of-way.
  • There are overhead utilities that run along the north-east side of Conner Road.

Existing Conditions

Functional Classification: Local

Land Use/Socio-Economic/Environmental:

  • Conner Road is a local street that serves commercial and industrial land uses on the south-east end of the project. The roadway serves residential properties and Conner High School towards the northwest end of the project.

Multi-Modal:

  • The CVG Trail has much community support including a group known as the Friends of CVG Trail. This trail is a network of multi-use paths that will form a loop around the CVG airport. This multi-use path would contribute to the CVG Loop Trail network.
  • There is an existing portion of sidewalk, approximately 1,000 feet in length, along the northeast side of Conner Road.
  • There is an existing sidewalk along the southern portion of Wright Boulevard.
  • A multi-use path is proposed as part of an active project along KY 237.
