Melton's Food Mart to Temporarily Close

dsfdsffs

A popular family-owned grocery store and butcher, Melton Food Mart, will soon close its doors after more than 70 years in Louisville. “The owner is having surgery and [closing is as] kind of a precautionary thing,” Melton Food Mart manager Bernie Brickey said. “Not to lump everything on the rest of the family, so he's going to temporarily close for about three to four months.” The store is owned by Joe Melton III, his wife, Kathy, and mother, Jan. They used to own other Melton Food Mart stores, but the one on Third Street Road in south Louisville is the last one open.

He immediately started aggressive chemo and taking steroids, along with a lot more medications.

Jackson's family has been be his side the entire time. 

The Jackson Stark & Family fund is set up to help his family for whatever they need: Paying medical or regular life bills, food, a night out...whatever will help them get through this tough battle.

Clean Up Our Community - Throw Away Illegal Yard Signs in the Right-of-Way

sdafsfdasfdaasfd

We all see the signs cluttering our major road ways stating:

  • "We Buy Houses"
  • "Rent to Own"
  • "Express Cash"
  • "Junk Cars - Cash Paid"

These signs are regularly and illegally posted on telephone poles and in the right-of-way of businesses and busy intersections. 

These signs clutter our streets and eventually fall down and litter our roadways, sewers and environment. 

If you walk by these signs or live somewhere where these signs are posted, help clean up our community by taking them down and throwing them away. 

Thank you!

New Dixie Construction

hbu

US 31W (Dixie Highway): 

Lane closures and sidewalk closures in place between Blanton Lane and Crums Lane (mile markers 12.5 to 15.3) due to construction for access management and bus rapid transit lines. Roadway will be reduced to two lanes on southbound Dixie Highway between Blanton Lane and Upper Hunters Trace beginning Monday, Nov. 12. Roadway is reduced to one lane southbound and two lanes northbound between Herbert Avenue and Crums Lane.

The New Dixie Highway Project team has adjusted traffic signals at Garrs Lane to move traffic more efficiently during construction in that area. The team in charge of traffic signals will continue to monitor the area to determine if additional adjustments will help.

While the signal adjustments are designed to move southbound traffic more quickly through the work zone, the lane restrictions in that area will continue to cause significant backups at some points in the day. The project team requests continued patience from drivers.  

While work is underway, traffic is restricted to one southbound lane and two northbound lanes between Herbert Avenue to Crums Lane. This pattern is expected to be in place for six months.  

Traffic naturally backs up with only one southbound lane, but the project team worked to reduce backups by restricting mid-block left-turns in the area – a decision made in conjunction with Shively Police and Fire. They also moved the point of merger closer to downtown Louisville, to avoid merging two lanes of traffic in the already congested Crums/7th Street/Dixie Highway intersection.

The $35 million New Dixie Highway Project prioritizes pedestrian safety. As the project is completed, watch for improved sidewalks, more visible crosswalks – especially near bus stops – and bus stops with adequate room for pedestrians to stand.

Common sense measures like wearing light colored clothing at night and crossing only at crosswalks will remain important for pedestrians. It will also be important for drivers to stay alert and avoid driving distractions.

How will winter affect New Dixie Highway work?

Weather is always a factor in outdoor construction. While many types of work – excavating, for example – can be done at almost any temperature, working with concrete and asphalt requires warm and dry conditions.  

This means that even on some sunny days, work can be disrupted if the temperature is not above freezing for an extended period of time. (Briefly reaching that temperature at 3 p.m., won’t work.)  “We understand that it’s frustrating to see a lane blocked and no work being done,” said John Callihan, The New Dixie Highway project manager. “But opening and closing lanes can’t realistically be done multiple times a week.”  

In addition, construction crews will be off from Dec. 21 to Jan. 2. Crews have been working many weekends to keep on schedule and this is their first significant scheduled break since the project began a year ago.
