With school out for the summer and the warm weather pushing
everyone outside, LMPD tends to receive an increase in calls related to ATV
activity. Many people are not aware that it is not legal to operate
all-terrain vehicles on any public highway, roadway or right-of-way of any
public highway or roadway. LMPD reminds constituents that it is against
the law to use ATV's on a public roadway in Kentucky (KRS 189.515).

association is to support farmers markets, farmers and local food producers to

providing assistance such as marketing, financial advice, vendor and volunteer
recruitment to increase the capacity of farmers markets. It also helps to
facilitate better access to healthy fruits and vegetables for everyone by
helping the markets support SNAP (food stamps) participants through the Double Dollars Program and Free EBT Equipment and seniors

 As of May
1st, Louisville Metro Animal Services will accept the surrendering of pets by
appointment only. It is a proactive approach to saving animals’ lives. LMAS is not
changing what it takes, just when.
Any animal determined by LMAS to be stray, sick, injured or
aggressive will be accepted immediately, without an appointment.
Under the new process, owners wanting to surrender their pets will
first fill-out and submit a Pet History Form and submit to the LMAS Animal Care Center (3705 Manslick Rd.) or
online at www.louisvilleky.gov/animalservices.
A staff member will contact the pet owner within two
business days to set an appointment. Owners who surrender their pets will be
charged a $25 impoundment fee to help cover the cost of care for their pet.
For more information call
(502) 473-PETS, stop by the LMAS Animal House Adoption Center at 3516
Newburg Rd. or call (502) 473-PETS. www.louisvilleky.gov/animalservices
