During the closure the ramp will be converted from the present curved single lane merge configuration to a T-intersection, including a traffic signal to safely move vehicles off the exit. A new sidewalk is also being constructed under the expressway on the east side of Dixie to safely accommodate pedestrians.

The Southwest Dream Team is looking to hire a part time Executive Director to work with the community on making the South End and Southwest Louisville the best place to live, work and play.

Position Overview:

This is an opportunity to join a mission-driven, energetic team committed to making a positive impact on individuals, families, and the overall Southwest Louisville community. As the South End’s leading nonprofit organization committed to raising expectations and energizing the community, the SWDT offers more than just a job. We offer you a career with a mission and the chance to make a lasting difference in your community. The primary responsibility of the Executive Director will be to design, implement and coordinate the community engagement plan. A secondary, but equally important responsibility will be supporting the ongoing efforts of the Dream Team board. If interested, contact Vince Jarboe at 502-380-3800.

Registration for the Brightside & Passport Health Plan Fall Community-Wide Cleanup is open. The cleanup will take place on Saturday, October 21 with the suggested cleanup times of 8 a.m. to noon  (If the date we have set doesn't work for your group, that's OK, we will support any cleanup that takes place in the weeks surrounding October 21.) 

REGISTER YOUR GROUP HERE!

All cleanup teams will receive bags and gloves at no cost, and the first 5,000 volunteers to register will also receive a free t-shirt. Brightside welcomes groups of all sizes, big and small and if you're not sure where you would like to hold your cleanup we can help with that too, just give us a call or send us an email and we will be happy to make a suggestion. 

Supply pick up will be held on Sunday, October 15 at the Iroquois Park Amphitheater, 1080 Amphitheater Road, from 2 p.m. until 5 p.m.  

Cleanups are an integral part of Brightside's mission and without the help of your volunteer group, and many other volunteers throughout the year, we could not achieve our goals of a cleaner, greener and more sustainable Louisville.

The project, covering 6.4 miles,  will be completed in phases over the course of three years. Phase 2A, slated for mid-October 2017 through April 2018, involves work on 1.7 miles of the water main along Eastern Parkway from Crittenden Drive at I-65 to Beargrass Creek near Poplar Level Road. The work requires some road and lane closures but customers will continue to have a reliable water source throughout the duration of the project. Check the website often for updates regarding closures and detours. LWC has created a page to answer the most frequently asked questions, but feel free to contact them by clicking on contact us for additional information. For project updates through the process go to:
