Black History Month

The Louisville Metro Council hosted the 21st Annual Black History Month Program last Thursday.

During the event, each of the twenty-six Metro Council members honored an individual with an award for his or her achievements.

Councilman Reed was honored to present the District 16 recipient award to Patricia Huggins of the James Taylor/Jacob School neighborhood. Patricia is the Neighborhood Association president. 

Patricia’s varied background provided the perfect foundation for her involvement in community service with her Neighborhood Association. Passionate about getting things done expediently and correctly, she is very successful at breaking down a project to its lowest denominator so that projects move along smoothly. Her motto is “say what you gonna do, and do what you say!”

Congratulations Patricia!

US 42 Utility Project

Please be advised of an upcoming LG&E project starting this spring in District 16.   Residents will likely notice LG&E crews and contractors working in the area just north of the intersection of US 42 and Seminary Drive.   Weather permitting, we’ll begin installing new underground equipment and utility poles, and we’ll enhance the power lines along the route to the substation.  This work will be performed in phases, and these projects will take place on our property and within the rights of way along US 42.  We will make every effort to minimize disruptions to drivers in the area, and expect work to occur during regular business hours, Monday through Friday. Our top priority during any project is the safety of everyone in the area.  

Projects being performed as part of this work include:

  • Construction of a new substation along US 42, near Seminary Drive – We’re constructing a new electric substation, as well as new infrastructure to support it, to further reinforce our system and ensure continued safe, reliable electric service to this rapidly growing area of Jefferson County. Work on this substation will serve 3,600 existing commercial and residential customers who currently receive their electric service out of LG&E’s Taylor and Harrods Creek substations.
  • Infrastructure enhancements – Transmission and Distribution will install new poles and conductor to route 69 kV transmission line into the Lime Kiln substation. Some of this work will take place along US 22.
  • Infrastructure relocations – In preparation for KYTC’s interchange work, LG&E Transmission and Distribution crews will be relocating a portion of circuits along US 42 and LG&E Gas will relocate a section of gas mains.  Jefferson County: I-264/US 42 Interchange Improvement - Project 05-804 | KYTC

Additionally, further information may be found at US 42 Projects | LG&E and KU (lge-ku.com).  Questions may be emailed to us42projects@lge-ku.com or by calling (502) 627-4287.  We appreciate your patience and thank you in advance for your understanding.
