WHEN: October 15th at 8pm
WHERE: Khalil’s, 10966 Dixie Highway, 40272
Councilman Yates is sponsoring a Metro Council Coat a Kid Drive to donate directly to JCPS students in need. The coat drive is similar to last year’s event that raised over 300 new coats for students across our city.
David has secured the donation of a new flat screen TV that will be raffled off to members of our community that donate NEW coats, gloves & scarves or provide a minimum $25 donation to support keeping JCPS students in need.
ACCEPTED DONATIONS:
- NEW Coats
- NEW Gloves & NEW Scarves
- Minimum $25 Donation for JCPS Clothing Program
The raffle will take place between 8pm & 8:30pm.
The Queen of Hearts Drawing is a massively successful charitable event that supports Shirley’s
Way, a great local Valley Station non-profit that benefits families struggling
to pay bills or pay for groceries when a family member is suffering from
cancer.
David is proud of our community’s previous generosity and
believes this event will be just as successful. He hopes you can attend and donate a new coat!

Construction work to begin at two bus stops on New Dixie Highway project
Despite recent heavy rains, construction is progressing on The New Dixie Highway Project and soon work will begin at two existing bus stations in the southern part of the project corridor. Contract crews will be modifying concrete bus pads and installing connections in preparation for the new bus rapid transit line from TARC. The actual bus shelters will not be installed until sometime next year.
Work is scheduled to begin the week of Oct. 8 at the northbound TARC bus stop on US 31W (Dixie Highway) at Dixie Garden Drive (mile marker 7.9). Currently no lane closures are needed but the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) advises motorists to be aware of shoulder closures and construction equipment entering and existing the roadway. In addition, sections of the sidewalk will be closed to pedestrians during this phase of construction.
Crews plan to start the same work at the northbound TARC bus stop on Dixie Highway at Citation Road (mile marker 9.1) the week of Oct. 15. Again, no lane closures are planned, but the shoulder and sidewalk in this area will be closed.
Construction at these two bus stops will occur simultaneously.
The New Dixie Highway Project is designed to improve safety and traffic efficiency along one of the city’s busiest corridors. In addition to the bus rapid transit line, the project includes new fiber-linked traffic signals, new concrete and landscaped medians, and new asphalt pavement.
The date and duration of this work may be adjusted if inclement weather or other unforeseen delays occur. More information is available through the project website (www.TheNewDixieHighway.com) and social media channels, including Facebook, Twitter and Instagram
