There will be a public open house to discuss the rightsizing of Taylor Blvd/Winkler Ave on: Tuesday, August 10th 4:00-6:00 P.M. (in-person) At the South Louisville Government Center, 2911 Taylor Blvd.
The State Transportation Department (KYTC) and Metro Public Works have proposed another street rightsizing during the repaving of Taylor Blvd and Winkler Ave from Berry Blvd to S. 3rd Street, possibly as early as next month. This proposed area is in District's 6 & 15.
Data shows 531 crashes for 5 years (2016 – 2020). That's over 100 crashes a year from Berry to 3rd Street (1.68 miles). Assuming 25% crash reduction, estimated ~27 crashes avoided each year (1 crash avoided every two weeks).
The needs of our communities evolve over time, and our street design should, too. That’s the idea behind ‘rightsizing streets’ – reconfiguring the layout of our streets to better serve the people who use them, whether they’re commuters driving, shoppers walking, or children bicycling. Many of the streets identified for consideration of right-sizing within Louisville involve converting an existing four-lane undivided roadway to a three-lane roadway consisting of two through lanes and a center two-way left-turn lane (TWLTL).
Benefits of the conversion from 4-lanes to 3-lanes may include:
- An overall crash reduction of 19 to 47 percent.
- Reduction of rear-end and left-turn crashes due to
the dedicated left-turn lane.
- Reduced right-angle crashes as side street
motorists cross three versus four travel lanes.
- Fewer lanes for pedestrians to cross.
- Opportunity to install pedestrian refuge
islands, bicycle lanes, on-street parking, or transit stops.
- Traffic calming and more consistent speeds.
- A more community-focused, "Complete Streets"
environment that better accommodates the needs of all road users.
These conversions, when planned in conjunction with scheduled pavement resurfacing, provide a low-cost safety solution, and the reconfiguration can be accomplished at no additional cost.

For assistance in relation to hardships due to COVID click here.
For information about COVID facts, testing, vaccines and more click here.
Mayor Greg Fischer announced today that the city is making additional funding available for its COVID-19 Utility Relief Program, starting with $2.5 million to help residents who have fallen behind on Louisville Gas and Electric Company (LG&E) bills as a result of COVID-19.
The funds are designed to assist residents with a past-due amount on an active LG&E account. The outstanding balance must have occurred since March 16, 2020, and customers will need to attest they have had a financial hardship during the pandemic.
Customers with outstanding balances could receive a one-time credit for up to $1,000 on LG&E bills.
An additional $2.5 million will be shared with Louisville Water Co. in the coming weeks; details on that spending are not yet finalized.
Funding for the Utility Relief Program comes from the first round of Louisville’s Federal American Rescue Plan (ARP), which have been approved to address the city’s most urgent needs. The LG&E funds will be distributed by the city’s Office of Resilience and Community Services (RCS) via the Neighborhood Place network.
How to apply for the LG&E assistance:
Schedule a drop off appointment in advance at one of four Neighborhood Place Drop Boxes. Appointments can be scheduled by phone by calling 502-977-6636 or online at LGEHelp.itfrontdesk.com. The toll-free service is currently open and is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Louisville Metro Office of Resilience and Community Services (RCS) joins with Community Action Agencies across the state today to begin accepting applications for the 2021 Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) Summer Cooling Program. This federally-funded programs is designed to help offset the cost of higher electric bills due to rising temperatures. Applications will be accepted now through October 31, 2021, or until funds are depleted.
The LIHEAP Summer Cooling Program is separated into two components, Subsidy and Crisis, to assist with electric cost. Eligible households can apply for one or both components and participation in prior LIHEAP programs will not affect a household’s eligibility. Households must meet eligibility requirements, with a household income at or below 150% of the Kentucky median income.
Individuals who require more information can contact Metro311 by simply dialing 311 or (502) 574-5000, email metro.311@louisvilleky.gov, tweet @LouMetro311, Web: loiusvilleky.gov/tell311, or download the free Mobile Louisville Metro 311 app from the website. Residents can also call Metro United Way’s 2-1-1 help referral service.

Pop-Off Drop-Offs are free recycling and large item disposal events for residents of Jefferson County. Through a partnership between the Department of Public Works, the Waste Management District, and Metro Council, these events are held monthly, March through November, at various locations.
The July event is scheduled for Saturday, July 24, from 10:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. at Metro Fleet Services, 3515 Newburg Road.
Residents can have documents shredded, recycle electronics, tires, and scrap metal, dispose of prescription medication and bulky items, and compost yard debris. Items must be separated into those various categories for easy off-loading at each area. Limitations and guidelines are found at Louisvilleky.gov/PopUps.
The goal is to give all Jefferson County residents opportunities to dispose of unwanted items properly and to keep as much material out of the landfill as possible.
Future events will be announced and are posted on the Recycle Coach app calendar.
You can also recycle up to three electronic devices, up to four tires, and dispose of up to three large household items for free, year-round at the Waste Reduction Center at 636 Meriwether Avenue.
Watch this video to learn more about the Pop-Up Drop-Off events!

All animals, excluding community cats, shall be kept under restraint at all times.
Restraint shall mean on the premises of the owner or on premises which the animals’ presence has been explicitly allowed, and confined in a secure enclosure, or accompanied by the owner and under his/her direct control. If off the premises of the owner where permission has not been granted, the animal must be restrained by a lead or leash and under the control of a responsible person physically able to control the dog, or except for dangerous dogs, and potentially dangerous dogs, accompanied by a responsible person into an enclosed “off-leash” area designated by the Kentucky Department of Parks or the Metro Department of Parks and in conformance with all regulations and/or requirements imposed as a condition of utilizing such “off-leash” area by such Departments of Parks, or their designees.
There are eight Louisville Dog Run Association Parks, including the fenced-in area at Champions Park in D9. But, contrary to what some people apparently believe, it is illegal to allow dogs to run off-leash in the rest of Champions Park or elsewhere in Louisville.
Sanitary disposal of animal feces is required. Owners must have in their possession a suitable device for the picking up, collection and proper sanitary disposal of animal feces or manure. Owners are required to immediately remove all feces deposited by such animal(s) and dispose of same in a sanitary manner.
