Chenoweth is never crowded, rarely slowed by traffic and a neighborhood street. Widening will attract more traffic, increase speeds and reduce speeding. It will ALSO ADVERSELY AFFECT PROPERTY VALUES FOR ADJACENT LANDOWNERS.

I am against the widening of Chenoweth - I don't believe it's necessary and believe the widening of the road will take away space for those who enjoy the sidewalks for walking, jogging, and bike riding.

I was shocked to learn that Chenoweth Lane is being targeted as a high traffic problem area. I've never experienced a traffic jam on this street since I've lived in the area. There are so many other roads in the neighborhood that need attention before we ever need to waste our time thinking about improving traffic flow on Chenoweth. Again, I am nothing short of shocked that this is even being considered. The only traffic problem on this, and many, streets in St Matthews is the occasional train. However, unless we plan on building a bridge or digging a tunnel it's just something we'll have to deal with.

I do not believe the widening of Chenoweth Lane will help at all! It will make our neighborhood have more traffic and not safe for our families and pets. It would have the neighborhood we love so much loose everything that makes everyone want to live here! Walking our dogs, riding bikes, and children playing There are enough expansions Does not make sense! Brownsboro big enough so is Shelbyville road etc. Oppose !

Widening Chenoweth Lane is a real bad idea for many reasons; removal of too many trees, reduction of front yards along both sides of the street, increased traffic, safety issues for pedestrians, bicyclist due to faster, heavier traffic. Serious waste of money b/c accident data on Chenoweth Lane does not support widening.

I have lived in the Chenoweth Lane/Brownsboro Rd. area since I was a child, over 50 years. I drive Chenoweth Lane multiple times a day every day of the year. There is rarely, if ever, a backup of traffic. If there is a train blocking the intersection near the tracks, the line of cars and the delay are minimal. I actually love the ambiance of the train, and the restful two-lane road linking busy Shelbyville Rd. and Brownsboro Rd. There is a much-used sidewalk extending the length of Chenoweth Lane which is used constantly by people of all ages. We do not need any changes to this stretch of road. Chenoweth Lane lies adjacent to nine side streets on the eastern side. These comprise a large, quiet area of homes whose residents span all age groups- newly married, middle aged and elderly. On the west side of Chenoweth are many older condominium units which are home to many elderly , though active, residents. We do not need a wider Chenoweth Lane which would result in more traffic which in turn would cause more difficulty for the residents on the west side to cross over to use the sidewalk on the east side. Furthermore, any change to the existing two-lanes would be the beginning of the "creeping factor" of developmental changes which inevitably occur once the first change is made. Leave this wonderful street alone! We have plenty of adequate thoroughfares serving the area with Brownsboro Rd. and Shelbyville Rd. moving traffic east and west efficiently to reach the commercial areas and the expressways. There is absolutely no reason to tamper with Chenoweth Lane. Kentucky Highway Department, please find something else to do with your time besides ruining a lovely street.
