Both meetings are open to the public. If you have walked in downtown Columbia lately or maybe just tried crossing a street, you have probably realized that many drivers don’t yield to pedestrians even though Kentucky law states drivers must yield at crosswalks. The Columbia Pedestrian Safety Committee has been hard at work to improve safety for pedestrians in Columbia, KY. A recent meeting with Troy Hearn, State Coordinator for Bicycle and Pedestrian Programs and Planning with the Department of Transportation, provided much insight on the safety issues Columbia faces. The Pedestrian Safety Committee which includes Police Chief Jason Cross has a list of projects that Chief Cross, Troy Hearn and the committee hope will start to improve safety on and around the square in Columbia.
Mr. Hearn identified Burkesville Street as one which in a sense encourages speeding. With this information the committee decided to start with this street using Mr. Hearn’s recommendations. The first item on the list was to slow traffic on Sunday mornings so those trying to use the cross walk between the Madison Square building and the Methodist Church could do so safely. Cones are now in place on Sunday mornings as well as police presence when available. Often drivers do not realize how fast they are actually driving, so the committee has a list of projects to improve safety including Drive Smart radar signs as they enter the square. The purpose of the Columbia Pedestrian Safety Committee is to improve safety for the residents of Columbia and Adair County.
