Movie Night at City Park Starts at Dusk

Radcliff, KY · July 17, 2026

The humidity is holding steady this morning, but the breeze picking up near the park should make for a perfect evening outdoors. If you are heading toward the north side of town, keep an eye out for utility crews working near the intersections.

📰 The Lead

Crews are finishing the installation of high-visibility crosswalks and solar-powered signal lights near the North Logsdon Parkway intersection today. This milestone marks a significant phase in the Dixie Highway safety initiative, aimed at protecting the increasing number of pedestrians moving between the new residential blocks and the central shopping district.

For years, navigating the main thoroughfare on foot has been a challenge for residents. These new "smart" signals use motion sensors to alert drivers only when a pedestrian is present, which helps maintain traffic flow while providing a much-needed safety buffer. Final calibration of the sensors is scheduled for this afternoon, so expect intermittent lane closures between 1:00 PM and 3:00 PM. Once the orange cones are cleared, the system will be fully operational for the evening commute.
