 The
blitz is on! Metro Public Works (MPW) is moving throughout Metro Louisville in a grid pattern to find and patch as many potholes as we can to
repair the damage of winter.
- Use the hashtag, #502pothole on Twitter. Include the hashtag
along with the address or nearest intersection of the pothole location in
any tweet, and MetroCall will get the message.
- The pothole reporting form that can be found at the top
of the city website, Louisvilleky.gov. Click on the “Report a pothole” link, put in the
location information and press send.
- Call MetroCall at 311 or 574-5000.
The #502pothole hashtag and the online form offer the advantage of
avoiding the potential for having to wait on hold on the telephone. Public
Works patches potholes on Metro Government maintained roads. Potholes on interstate
highways should be reported to the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet at
1-877-For-KYTC (367-5982).

Road closures during KDF Marathon Saturday April 29 for Iroquois Park and Southern Parkway
Community Meeting April 17 at 6:30 PM
Flooded roadways, destroyed homes
and raw sewage overflows are reminders that our city’s ability to thrive
depends on the most basic public health and safety protection systems –
wastewater, stormwater and flood protection. MSD has completed an
extensive analysis of these systems, and input is needed from the community to
determine how soon the critical projects should be completed.
While Louisville can no longer
avoid renewing and restoring its vital systems, the difficult truth is the
solutions come with a price tag of $4.3 billion over the next 20 years.
This includes almost $500 million to finish the remaining Consent Decree
projects to meet the federal order to reduce sewer overflows. Recognizing
the magnitude of the impact on ratepayers and the community, MSD is leading a
wide-reaching community conversation.
A dedicated website can be found
at www.louisvillemsd.org/CriticalRepairPlan
that includes
A comment form to provide direct input (http://louisvillemsd.org/community-input-form)
Louisville can no longer
avoid investing in public health and safety systems, and informing the public
on the risks and solutions is critical. The MSD team is committed to continued
community engagement and encourages input.
LG&E announces pipeline replacement to begin in 2018. Survey and preliminary work may begin in your area, but additional information will be mailed to those areas impacted.

 Hideout Pizzeria will replace the closed Siggy's Pizza at 5620
Barrett Lane off Dixie Highway, said Madison Druin, who will own the new
business with family members Kassidy Druin and Christian Barr.
The area is home to a breadth of fast-food and chain restaurants,
and the trio hopes a new local option will be a draw for neighbors, Druin
said.
"Opening your own business, it is a risk," Druin said.
"... But people like to see people in their community doing good, so they
like to support local businesses as opposed to chain restaurants."
