SHAWNEE EXPRESSWAY Rehabilitation Project
Hired to create and implement a public involvement campaign for the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC), our goal was to educate and bring awareness to the public about the I264 Shawnee Expressway Rehabilitation project – the largest and most expensive roadway rehabilitation project in Kentucky at that time (2003).
Though young in my career, I joined CRA’s Transportation Practice Group. We developed and implemented a multi-strategy, 18-month communications plan. I wrote and delivered daily traffic updates as the voice of the project hotline. The project was hugely successful. It was a great learning experience and tons of fun! I use a lot of what I learned on that project in my planning with clients today!
