Fiscal court approves engineering agreement to develop county portion of Goggins Lane extension
Summary
Madison County approved a professional services agreement with WSP USA Inc. to develop conceptual alternatives and a Phase I plan for the county portion of the Goggins Lane extension to US‑25, a project tied to the West Richmond small‑urban study and planned to support future funding requests.
The fiscal court approved a resolution on Jan. 14, 2025 authorizing a professional engineering services agreement with WSP USA Inc. to design the county’s portion of a proposed Goggins Lane extension to US‑25.
County staff said the study supports the West Richmond small‑urban area recommendations from the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet and that the professional services agreement covers Phase I conceptual alternative development to help the county advocate for state or federal funding. The court approved the resolution by voice vote after brief remarks urging continued proactive planning for corridors experiencing growth.
Why it matters: Officials said Goggins Lane is a potential local connector that could relieve congestion on other corridors and that having conceptual alternatives will strengthen the county’s case when seeking outside funding and coordinating with the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet.
Court action: Resolution 2025‑O‑04 was approved unanimously; staff said the county will pursue the conceptual design and return to the court with findings and next steps.
