The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) submitted a report recently stating that a "No Train Horn" sign was missing from the private crossing just west of Altawood Court near the Oldham County line. If a sign is missing from an established quiet zone such as this one, trains are allowed to blow their horns until the sign is in place. Metro Public Works is working on fabricating the required sign and plans to have it installed soon.
The Metro Council's Ad Hoc Committee on Landmarks is issuing an invitation to the public to comment on proposed changes to the current Landmarks Ordinance (LMCO 32.250-32.263).
