city information related to your specific neighborhood on the website at www.nextdoor.com

for conversations within neighborhoods that cannot be seen by other areas,
and allows the city to direct information to those neighborhoods. Metro

information. Public Works and other departments will soon follow. In the
meantime, Louisville residents can register at Nextdoor to join the
conversations that may already be going on among their neighbors.
