We have been contacted by several constituents regarding the lingering railroad ties along the Frankfort Avenue CSX railroad tracks. We were told by CSX this week that they are trying to get railroad cars to the area to pick them up. If that doesn’t work, CSX is going to truck them out of the area. They hope to have the work done within a month.

Next week is National HIV Testing Week. Public Health and Wellness will be working with several partners to promote and offer free testing at several sites across the city.
HIV is a preventable disease. HIV prevention is a goal in our community health improvement plan, Healthy Louisville 2020. HIV is too often discovered at an advanced stage. Identifying persons early in infection and providing them with appropriate counseling, education, and linkage to care are necessary steps to controlling HIV.
The 9th Annual Buy Local Fair was rescheduled to Sunday, July 2, at Louisville Water Tower Park, 3005 River Road from Noon – 6:00 p.m. The event is FREE with car parking for $5. Bicycles are Free.
