 We had a beautiful day for last year's performance of Romeo and Juliet.
I wanted to give everybody one last reminder of Kentucky Shakespeare's performance of Julius Caesar happening this Sunday at 6:30 p.m. at Hounz Lane Park. Feel free to bring your own chairs, blankets, food, etc. to this free, family-friendly event. Hounz Lane Park, as you can see from the picture above, is a great setting and it looks like odds are in our favor for a very nice evening. If inclement weather does move in, the performance will be held at Westport Road Baptist Church, 9705 Westport Road. Hope to see you Sunday!
Construction is scheduled to begin soon on traffic signals along Westport Road to help motorists more efficiently access the I-265 southbound ramp. When completed, this project will provide those traveling westbound on Westport Road a protected turn onto the Gene Snyder Freeway. The foundations are expected to be poured by the end of the month, weather permitting. Following that, power will need to be provided, pavement markings will need to be added to the road, etc. The expectation is to have everything completed and the lights operational by June.

Our next district cleanup will be held Friday, May 13 beginning at 8:30 a.m. We will meet in the parking lot of LMPD's 8th Division headquarters, 2927 Goose Creek Road. The plan is to pick up litter in the Goose Creek Road area. I will have trash bags, gloves, grabbers, etc. for those willing to help. I hope you'll be able to join us!
Metro Public Works will host its next Pop-Up Drop-Off event on Saturday, April 30 at Metro Fleet Services, 3515 Newburg Road. As a reminder, these monthly events are great opportunities to get rid of electronic items, passenger tires, prescription medication, and much more. Though document shredding is typically provided as well, it will NOT be an option at this event. A full list of accepted items and the schedule for the rest of 2022 can be found here.
