Oldham County updates: repaving, reflective striping requests, sprint triathlon route and missing-person alert
Summary
County officials announced repaving and striping work on KY 393, requested added reflective beads on some striping, warned residents after a heavy rain event, outlined road closures for a triathlon and issued a golden alert for a missing 81-year-old woman, Carol Reynolds.
Oldham County officials gave residents several public-safety and traffic updates, including repaving and re-striping on KY 393, planned road closures for a weekend sprint triathlon, and a golden alert for an 81-year-old missing driver.
Manager Woosley told the meeting the parks department will sponsor a sprint triathlon this weekend that starts at Windlemore Park and will close portions of the route between KY 393 and Findlay Road and on Bennett Lane during the biking and running segments; closures are expected roughly from 7 a.m. to about noon in the Buckner area. “They’ll bike from Windlemore. They’ll go down 393, go across Findlay to Bennett, come back, and then there’s they’re running,” Woosley said.
Officials reported recent repaving work: KY 393 was repaved and is awaiting re-striping. A commissioner requested adding reflective beads to striping at the Centerfield Drive/Echo Valley/Briar Ridge area “to add a little bit more reflection, specifically at night” to improve nighttime visibility. “Please be careful around the buses,” Magistrate Logsdon added, noting school is in session.
County staff reported a heavy localized rain event that caused at least one water rescue and several collisions. A county speaker who identified an email address as chounds@olamcountyky.gov said rainfall in one location exceeded five inches and urged residents encountering water over roadways to follow safety guidance. “If you come across a roadway where you believe the water is covered, just turn around and find a different route, please,” the speaker said.
Manager Woosley also announced the Oldham County Police had issued a golden alert for Carol Reynolds, 81, who was reported driving a silver Ford Explorer; the transcript excerpt includes the license-plate text as provided by the speaker but that text appears garbled in the record. Officials asked anyone who sees the vehicle to call 911.
Officials also reported roadwork by the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) around Harrods Creek Bridge and encouraged drivers to slow near crews. Commissioners discussed forming a committee to advance a paving project for Orkin Creek Farms.
The announcements were delivered as part of routine county updates; none of the items in the provided excerpt included formal votes.
