Seven-year-old Big Papa is as laid-back as they come.
He’s up for anything, but his favorite activity is lounging. If you’re looking
for a companion to hang-out with around the house, Big Papa is your guy. His
name suits him well, because he’s a little chunky—which means more to cuddle!
He enjoys attention and affection, but shelter life doesn’t allow him all of
the love his heart desires. Think of how happy he’d be in a home with an owner
to look forward to seeing each day. Be a hero. Change this guy’s status from
homeless to home-bound. Big Papa guy is FREE to a lucky approved adopter! Call (502)
473-PETS for more information or stop by the LMAS Animal Care Center (3705

When
buses move efficiently through the corridor it is a benefit to bus riders and
drivers alike. As part of the New Dixie Highway project, new, more advanced
traffic signals will be installed and these will work closely with the
state-of-the art rapid transit buses coming to Dixie Highway.
These new buses will be able to communicate with the new traffic signals, so
that the light pattern can be held long enough to get the bus through the
intersection. It’s called “signal priority.” The signals will also move
emergency response vehicles through intersections more quickly, as long as
those vehicles are equipped with the corresponding communications
devices.
These signal upgrades will be installed at 34 intersections. It will include
every signalized intersection from Bethany Lane through to Garland Ave, except
for the flashing lights at Bernheim Lane.
Left
Turns and Safety
Limiting left turns raises convenience concerns for businesses
and owners a like. But the safety benefits are tremendous. (And remember,
safe driving not only means fewer injuries and deaths, but also fewer crash
scenes and towing operations to tie up traffic and block business entrances.)
The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet has cited Louisville’s Hurstbourne Lane
as an example of what medians can do. In the six months after a two-way left
turn lane was replaced by a concrete median, the crash rate dropped from 7.6 crashes per month, to 4.4. Safer
driving is better for everyone!
