Over 200 people gathered at the Galt House Hotel in downtown Louisville to join the 2018 National Gathering of Presbyterian Women in the PC(USA) for Friday’s peace and justice march. Drawing attention to “The Ninth Street Divide.” Organizers hope the march raises awareness of the lingering effects of racism and discriminatory practices such as redlining that have resulted in segregation in Louisville and in many other cities in the nation. |

Earlier this year, Louisville Metro
Government (LMG) announced plans to seek a new location for the Impound Lot,
citing space issues, and the impound lot’s negative impact on nearby
Beargrass Creek and the Beargrass Creek Greenway Trail. The site, a former
landfill, is also located in a floodplain and is partially impacted by a
high-tension power line. At that time, the city issued a public Request for
Information (RFI), seeking properties that fit the city’s search criteria for
size, location and other physical and operational requirements. The city
received seven responses to that RFI but none met the search criteria.
LMG is hosting another meeting on Monday, August 13 from 6:00 –
7:00 p.m. at the California Community Center, 1600 St. Catherine Street.
What will be discussed at this meeting? LMG received a
suggestion to relocate vehicles held at the impound lot as evidence in a
criminal or civil lawsuit or investigation to a separate, secured location.
This would decrease the number of vehicles at the impound lot by
approximately 350, allowing towing operations to resume as space was made
available through vehicle relocation. A warehouse located on 9th Street has
been identified as a proposed alternative storage location for impounded
vehicles being held as evidence. The warehouse will provide an indoor, secure
location for these vehicles, and is located in an industrial area of the
California neighborhood. Impacts to the neighborhood are expected to be
minimal because access to the warehouse will not be through a residential
area, the warehouse is surrounded by commercial and industrial uses, the
vehicles will be secured indoors and the relatively small number of trips
associated with adding or removing vehicles from the space will not
significantly affect traffic on 9th Street.
If you have any questions, please contact Allison Smith at Allison.smith@louisvilleky.gov
or call 574-1569.

 Get damaged garbage carts replaced.
It's free once a year if damage is shown.
A damaged garbage or recycling cart is bad for multiple
reasons. The damaged cart won't hold the garbage or recycling as well as it
should which can lead to litter and attract animals. Broken handles or wheels
also make it difficult and potentially dangerous for our Solid Waste Tippers to
lift and empty carts.
So let us know
if you have a damaged cart. Call MetroCall at 311 or 574-5000. Provide them with
your name, address and daytime phone number along with the serial number from
the cart and a description of the damage. Or complete this online form.

This week
Metro Public Works is highlighting sections of the Louisville Metro Code of
Ordinances that often come as a surprise to residents. They basically require
property owners and residents to keep the area around homes clean and free of
obstructions, from the center line of the street to the center line of any
adjacent alley.
§ 156.051 RESPONSIBILITY OF PERSONS.
(B) Sanitary condition.
(1)
Cleanliness. Every occupant of a structure or part thereof shall keep
that part of the structure or premises which that occupant occupies,
controls, or uses in a clean, safe and sanitary condition, and in the case of
a single-family structure, the owner shall keep the premises free of all
weeds...to the center line of such street, easement or alley as are
adjacent to or abut the premises.
That includes that patch of grass between the sidewalk and the
curb known as a verge.
What is a Right-of-Way Obstruction?
Any structure that may prevent or impede the full and free use
by the public of the entire sidewalk, street, alley, or public way (right of
way). Some examples of right-of-way obstructions: basketball
goals left on the curb line, concrete pyramids, piles of brush, items being
sold, political/advertising signs, trees, shrubs, retaining walls, cars
parked in the right of way, and any obstructions to cross visibility.
