I must begin with a huge 'Thank you' to you and KYTC for asking for my opinion. But be careful what you ask for. I do have memories and a history with the Kentucky Transportation Department. My earliest recollection of the KYTC in Newport was seeing the 400+ homes lost in east Newport in preparation for the construction of I471. I recall seeing stacks and stacks of salvaged, used bricks on pallets bound and ready for shipment. I recall seeing stained glass windows set out for pick-up. It was as though I was seeing the results of war.
