Kroger Giant Planned Amid Traffic Fears | Cincinnati News

A massive new Kroger store, spanning 99,000 square feet, is poised to open in Northern Kentucky — but locals are sounding the alarm. Residents fear it will worsen already crippling traffic on Paddock Drive, which they say feels like a racetrack, and question whether another big grocery is really needed when Publix and other chains are nearby. Developers claim they’ve studied traffic patterns and plan to add signals and turn lanes to ease congestion. For now, the Boone County Planning Commission’s vote on August 19th is the big unknown — and Kroger hasn’t responded to our request for comment.
