It is time to be teaching my 16-year-old son to drive. He finally got his permit and after two sessions of driving around in larger parking lots (Seneca High School) and Canaan Christian Church, it was time to drive on the streets.
It was a nice drive as Bon Air Estates is a perfect place for new drivers driving on the street for the first time. You get to go in circles and practice turns without actually stopping.
However, I can only imagine that we must have driven one or more of the neighbors crazy because we probably looked like we were casing the place.
However, I have to admire how well things are kept up. From what I can tell Bon Air Estates has higher housing values than Bon Air as a whole and one of the signs out in front bragged that the house sold in one day. There are two houses currently for sale in this area, and they will probably go fast too.
Bon Air Estates has this big stretch of grass along the sound wall and Shelia Drive. It was cleared when I-264 was widened in the early 1990's. I also understand that Brockton Lane (the former drag strip) was cut in two as there is a vestige of it west of Bon Air Estates but I digress. It is a large open green space that is just gorgeous but a pain to mow. I understand that like 3225/3227 Bon Air, several of the neighbors take it upon themselves to mow this.
My wild idea for this section of Bon Air is that the right of way along the sound wall along Shelia Drive be made into a walking track and fitness park with multiple training stations. I made this suggestion 11 years ago and the person answered with the false or avoidant "they" answer. "They don't want a park."
Maybe "they" are happy with things as they are. But I am aware that "they" have frequently complained about how long the grass grows along with right of way and "they" have complained to Brent Ackerson to do something.
My answer is that while it is state of Kentucky property/right of way, "they" should seek to develop it so as to reduce the grass that has to be mowed and make their area all the more attractive.
