be the only cat in his home. He’s neutered, microchipped and up-to-date on all
vaccinations. Marvin’s adoption fee is waived thanks to the Pay It Forward
Program. Visit Animal House Adoption Center located at 3516 Newburg rd. Tuesday-Sunday

“Look” for New RAPID Bus Line Unveiled
Dixie Highway will be the first area of Louisville to receive a “RAPID” bus line – a faster-than-express service that will make it easier and safer for Dixie residents to get to and from work, school, and health care facilities.
This work is part of the $35 million New Dixie Highway Project.
The New Dixie Highway Project team, including officials at TARC, solicited input from Dixie Highway commuters and bus riders last summer before naming the system and coming up with a design for the specially branded buses. The RAPID bus line will mean:
- 15 miles of new TARC service - from Valley Station to Downtown
- 37 distinctive TARC stations and stops
- 15 min frequency all day
- Real time information to customers
- Queue jump lanes at some intersections
- Improved pedestrian and ADA access: sidewalks, crosswalks and new streetscape
- Integration with bike, pedestrian, and connections with other TARC routes

Early data suggests a dramatic reduction in crashes – an 80 percent reduction - at the improved Shively Ramp, which links I-264 westbound to Dixie Highway northbound.
The old ramp was short, had no traffic light and tunneled directly onto a busy street. But the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet invested $700,000 last fall which straightened and realigned the ramp, creating a T-intersection with a traffic light.
The result was that in the first couple of months after the project reopened there were only 2 crashes at the ramp – compared to 10 in the same time frame the previous year.
The goal of the entire New Dixie Highway project is to address safety concerns, a significant quality of life improvement for all commuters.

Below is a list of projects overseen by the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet happening in Southwest Louisville.

Lane closures and sidewalk closures in place between Greenwood Road and Heaton

Highway between Greenwood Road and Blanton Lane and two lanes on southbound
Dixie Highway between Heaton Road and Upper Hunters Trace.
US
31W (Dixie Highway): Lane
