Good news: The Warrick County Commissioners will be putting up 26 SHARE THE ROAD signs in Warrick County along routes that are frequently traveled by bicyclists. The “SHARE THE ROAD” Campaign purchased these signs.
During the commissioners meeting on Monday, May 11th , I presented a proposal to the board. Charlie Martin (former EBC member, who may rejoin the ranks of the EBC) gave guidance and support along with Paul Jensen, Ann Pendley, and Gene Van Stone. The commissioners told us that we would have to furnish the 12' posts on which the signs will be mounted. Samuel Roach, Superintendent of the Warrick County Highway Dept., said his crew would install the signs. This will not be a priority project, and the signs will be installed as time allows.
Our bike club voted to purchase the posts costing $342. There will be approximately 10 signs in the Blue Grass Recreational Area as well as signs along Stevenson Station Road, Telephone Road, Vann Road, Roeder Road, Yankeetown Road, Tennyson Road, and Old Plank Road. As funds become available, I hope to see more.
