Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) District 5 does Interstate litter pick up and mowing on a schedule every year based on their budget. The schedule is weather permitting and is on a 15 day cycle, meaning that they typically pick up litter and mow the areas between the date listed and 15 days after.
Mowing for the KYTC spaces in District 21 falls into the Green writing below.
Outlined in Blue are litter pick up only cycles.
 This is weather dependent and schedule can change depending on KYTC staffing needs.

Layah hails to The District 21 Council Office all the way from Cleveland, Ohio.
Meet Layah Hodges - District 21 Intern
Layah began her journey in Louisville as an AmeriCorps VISTA at The Food Literacy Project where she worked on the communications team writing, designing, photographing, and sharing the stories of diverse individuals throughout the city. She is completing a 6 month internship with the Council Office to learn more about city government, Louisville’s history and path forward, and building her professional network.

She completed the Look Up to Cleveland high school program through The Cleveland Leadership Center (CLC) in 2018, which sparked her interest in local government. During this 9 month program, Layah worked with a team of community peers and other students to create a civic vision for a struggling neighborhood in Cleveland. The projects were then presented to families, community leaders, who offered time and resources to the Look Up students, and the CLC staff and board to garner support and future operational plans to revitalize Cleveland.
After completing the program, Layah was chosen by her peers to serve as a Class Officer of her 2018 cohort. Additionally she was granted the Allan C. Krulak Scholarship Award in 2019 for her collegiate plans, takeaways from the program, and what leadership meant to her. Life never goes as planned and Layah experienced this first hand. Her grandmother passed away during her freshman year of college, which compelled her to take a medical leave from school for her mental health. Despite this break and throughout the pandemic, Layah has continued to seek higher education, employment, and more time to take care of herself.
She will be continuing her post-secondary education at JCTC pursuing an Associate of Arts in the fall. She is on a 4 year pathway to receive a Bachelor’s Degree in Communications. When she is not in the office, Layah can be found working as a Program Associate at The Food Literacy Project and working as a Front Desk Agent at the Hyatt Regency Louisville. In her limited free time she enjoys kayaking, swimming, freelance writing, and building a small business she started in April of 2020.

The coalition was created through amendments to Louisville Metro’s Complete Streets Ordinance. These amendments require the formation of a committee which will have the defined and unique function of reviewing public projects to ensure Metro roadways are designed with consideration of all users, which will make our district safer, healthier, and more economically vibrant. This coalition plans to meet monthly for 1-2 hours once formed.
