 City's Senior Nutrition Program organizes
fifth annual "Love Letters Campaign"
Louisville Metro Senior Nutrition Program invites young
people to create handmade Valentine's Day cards as part of the annual Love
Letters campaign. The cards will then be included in meal deliveries to Meals
on Wheels recipients and shared with other senior programs to help lift the
spirits of older adults in our community.
Now in its fifth year, Love Letters was introduced through a
partnership with DoSomething.org, a global non-profit
organization which encourages young people to make a positive change, and Meals on Wheels America. Because of its
enormous popularity -- both with youth and seniors -- staff members with the
Louisville Metro Senior Nutrition Program remain committed to
carrying on this tradition.
To donate cards to the
local Meals on Wheels program, feel free to drop off any weekday by Feb. 9
between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. at 701 W. Ormsby Ave. Suite 201. Also feel free
to Contact Tiffany Woodson, Volunteer Coordinator for the Louisville Metro
Senior Nutrition Program at 574-6420 or Tiffany.Woodson@louisvilleky.gov with
any questions.

 Metro (the former City of Louisville boundaries) is now on
seasonal shutdown. Regular collection on yard waste routes is suspended until
March 12.
Seasonal suspension of yard waste collection was done on a
two-week trial basis in 2017 and found to be successful. Because of that
success, yard waste collection will go on seasonal shutdown annually from
January 1 until the middle of March.
The shutdown is possible because yard waste collection volumes are
very low in the winter months. It allows Metro Publie Works to direct
additional resources to the effort to clear our streets and roads, including
interstate highways, of litter in advance of spring along with other solid
waste activities.
During the suspension period, citizens should not put yard waste
out for collection. Any yard waste problems should be reported as usual to
MetroCall at 311 or 574-5000. Those calls will be handled on an as needed basis
rather than running crews full-time on routes across the city.

Councilman Lanshima raised safety concerns for
residents in the area
By a vote of 18 to 2, the Louisville Metro Council
on Thursday night retained the current zoning for property at the corner of
South Third Street and Kingston Avenue by overturning a recommendation from the
Louisville Metro Planning Commission.
“I would like to thank my colleagues for this vote,” said
Councilman Vitalis Lanshima (D-21). “Serious public safety concerns were
raised by the people who live in the area. Because of those concerns I asked
that the current zoning be maintained.”
The
property in question is located at 5024 and 5026 South Third Street and 307
Kingston Avenue. A drive thru pharmacy was planned for the property which is
currently zoned OR-1 Office/Residential and R-7 Multi-Family Residential.
Developers for the project were seeking a change to C-1 on .44 acres
Entrance to the pharmacy would be gained by Third Street. Cars
would exit on Kingston Avenue.
Several members of the Council raised concerns that continuous
traffic using the drive thru could back up traffic of the people who live in
two adjoining multi-plex apartments, since there was no proposed buffer zone in
the plan.
Concerns were also raised about traffic and children who might
live in the area as well as access by public safety vehicles in the event of an
emergency at the apartment buildings.
“I know economic development is important to all areas of the
city. However, in this case it was not the right fit for this neighborhood when
you consider the traffic and safety concerns,” said Lanshima.
