A northern Kentucky GOP senator is renewing his attempt at re-opening a portion of roadway between the State Capitol and Capitol Annex. Citing security concerns, Governor Beshear ordered the section of Capital Avenue closed in 2021. Union Senator John Schickel said he takes threat assessments very seriously, but adds this closure goes too far and prevents visitors from enjoying Capitol aesthetics by vehicle.
“If there’s a reason to close that road, my bill provides for that and it can be done very quickly. But, I ask you to pass this bill out onto the Senate floor and I’m hoping this year maybe the House will take a look at it,” said Schickel.
