Trinity High School street closure for student safety
Summary
A 161-home development in the environmentally sensitive Floyds Fork area will now have just one way in and out, at an intersection neighbors say has poor sight lines on a winding state road. The commission added a condition requiring sight distances be proven at construction approval, but two commissioners thought the second entrance should stay.

Impact analysis
Removing the entrance cuts impervious surface about 20% and avoids costly grading the developer says triggered the change.
The developer saves money and the Floyds Fork watershed gets less clearing, less runoff and preserved trees.
Future residents and drivers on Johnson Road face one access point at an intersection opponents call unsafe, with emergency vehicles dependent on a single road.

Development Review Committee — June 17, 2026
Trinity wants to close part of North Sherrin Avenue because drivers use it as a fast cut-through past students. The school plans traffic calming first, not a full gate. St. Matthews officials support it.
