178.337 Removal of road from system -- When city streets in system. (1) After an engineering and traffic investigation and the receipt of recommendations by the county road engineer, a county through road or a portion thereof established <br>or maintained as provided in KRS 178.330 may be detached from the county <br>through road system. The fiscal court or the consolidated local government shall <br>cause the proposed deletion to be marked on a map to be deposited with county road <br>engineer and to be open to public inspection. The same procedure set forth in KRS <br>178.330 for the establishment or maintenance of a county through road system shall <br>be followed in the case of roads or portions of roads detached therefrom. Notice of <br>the proposed deletion from the system shall conform to KRS 424.130(1)(b). The <br>fiscal court or the consolidated local government may in its discretion detach or <br>retain the road as a part of the county through road system. The decisions of the <br>fiscal court or the consolidated local government made in accordance with this <br>section shall be final. Whenever any county through road has been added or <br>detached from the county through road system in accordance with KRS 178.330 to <br>178.337, the county road engineer shall accordingly amend the map of the county <br>through road system, which map shall at all times be available for public inspection <br>in the office of the county road engineer. Nothing herein shall be construed as <br>automatically deleting from the county through road system any portion of the <br>system in territory which becomes incorporated as a city or which becomes annexed <br>to a city. (2) Nothing in this chapter shall be construed to take from the jurisdiction or control of the legislative body of any incorporated city or consolidated local government, any <br>road, bridge, landing, or wharf, or any other thing exclusively under the jurisdiction <br>or control of such city or a consolidated local government. Provided, however, that <br>roads within a city of the first through sixth classes in a county containing a city of <br>the first class or a consolidated local government may be made a part of the county <br>through road system, in accordance with KRS 178.330 or 178.333, or both, with the <br>agreement of the legislative body of said city. (3) Nothing in this chapter shall prevent any fiscal court or a consolidated local government from acquiring land by gift for public purposes. Effective: July 15, 2002 <br>History: Amended 2002 Ky.
