Narrative:
VFR aircraft transitioning cvg airspace not in communication with ATC. The aircraft transitioned northeast to southwest across the runway 27 departure path during a heavy departure push. This required numerous traffic calls and turns to avoid the aircraft. Due to the volume of aircraft at cvg this results in a dangerous situation, especially when one aircraft is not in contact with ATC.

Narrative: VFR ACFT TRANSITIONING CVG AIRSPACE NOT IN COM WITH ATC. THE ACFT TRANSITIONED NE TO SW ACROSS THE RWY 27 DEP PATH DURING A HVY DEP PUSH. THIS REQUIRED NUMEROUS TFC CALLS AND TURNS TO AVOID THE ACFT. DUE TO THE VOLUME OF ACFT AT CVG THIS RESULTS IN A DANGEROUS SIT, ESPECIALLY WHEN ONE ACFT IS NOT IN CONTACT WITH ATC.
