Office of the Judge-Executive
Shelby County Fiscal Court
News Release
December 4, 2009
Robin Rd, Blackwell Rd, and Lena Court Now Eligible for
Road Department Services
SHELBYVILLE, KY.
Shelby County Judge-Executive Rob Rothenburger announced
the decision of the fiscal court at the Tuesday,
December 1st, 2009 meeting to adopt Robin
Road, Blackwell Road, and Lena Drive into the county
roadway system.
All three roads were
privately owned, making them unable to receive any
assistance from the Shelby County Road Department,
pursuant to KY statutes. This posed serious problems
for residents during the ice storm of 2008 and previous
severe winter seasons. Having been abandoned by its
developer due to financial complications, the
subdivision roadways were receiving no snow and ice
removal from a private company, and were ineligible to
receive this service from the county.
In addition to being
eligible for snow and ice removal, the newly adopted
roads will receive any necessary maintenance
improvements in the future and will be maintained by the
Shelby County Road Department. Upon adoption, the Road
Department issued a formal letter of bond claim to the
Triple S Planning and Zoning Commission in order to fund
the pressing maintenance and re-pavement of the roads.
Shelby County Road
Supervisor Carl Henry stated, “I’m glad that the roads
have been accepted into the system. We have received
numerous complaints, especially during the winter
months. Before the roads were adopted, we couldn’t
legally service these areas, but now that they’re in the
system, we now have the authority to efficiently
maintain the roadways.”
Robin Road, Blackwell
Road, and Lena Drive are located off of Middleton
Heights Subdivision. Combined, the three roadways are a
total of 1,675 feet long.
