The Kentucky Senate has voted overwhelmingly to open up a section of Capital Avenue between the State Capitol building and the annex. Governor Beshear ordered barriers to be placed there in the fall of 2021. Northern Kentucky Senator John Schickel said the bill still allows for the temporary closure of the section of roadway, just not permanently.
“We must always remember that we need to balance the need for an open government with protection against threats,” said Schickel.
