Metro Public Works is actively taking bids for the Construction Phase of the Cannons Lane New Sidewalk Project. They have to bid the project for at least 21 days, then the following steps would be taken:
- Evaluate all bids for low bid and federal compliance.
- Notify Low Bidder and secure a contract with them.
- Have a pre-Construction Meeting and Give an official “Notice to Proceed”
If everything goes smoothly, Tree Removal will be the first part of the construction activity and would happen sometime early 2024, with hopeful construction ramping up after that.

Louisville’s on the move to reduce plastic pollution and increase renewable energy. You can find out how to keep that progress moving at a virtual forum on Wednesday, December 6 from 7-8:30pm.
The event, titled “REAL Good News” will hold its 12th in a series of quarterly public Zoom meetings aimed at making sure Louisville implements its green energy goals.
In 2020 the Metro Council passed a resolution to move the city’s operations to 100% clean renewable electricity by 2030. That resolution also sets a goal of 100% clean energy for the entire Louisville community by 2040.
December’s event will focus on initiatives that are underway to reduce single-use plastics in Louisville. There will also be an update of progress being made toward using renewable energy as the city expands its sustainability programs.
Speakers will include Pam Raidt with Beyond Plastics Louisville; Sumedha Rao, Executive Director of the Mayor’s Office of Sustainability; and Betsy Ruhe, District 21 Metro Council Representative.
Music by Louisville musician and activist John Gage will open and close the event. The event will also show how you can attend Metro Council meetings to speak in favor of implementing Louisville's clean energy resolution.
The three sponsoring organizations are 100%REAL, Kentucky Interfaith Power and Light, and the Christian Action group of St. Paul United Methodist Church.
The event is free but registration is required. Here’s the url for the Zoom link to register: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZIvcO-prz8jE9TXQPR-JQps3ZlManGgywRi

Recently, customers began contacting LG&E and KU to report door-to-door "solar installers" claiming to work for LG&E and KU. The solar installers were using high-pressure sales tactics with the promise of providing "free solar panels" or "free energy" as part of signing up to do business with them. LG&E and KU took prompt action, placing an alert bar with information on the company's website, sending an email to customers, and sharing the information on TV news programs in Louisville and Lexington.
Here are the details to know, along with helpful information you can use with family and friends.
While there are many legitimate solar installers across our service area, please know that LG&E and KU do not market or sell residential rooftop solar panels and are not affiliated with any residential solar installers.
Just as you would do with any significant investment involving your home, we encourage you to always do your homework and secure quotes from several reputable businesses before signing any contract or agreement and making a significant financial investment.
If someone comes to your door claiming to be from LG&E and KU, ask to see the person's company-issued employee or contractor identification card. An authentic ID card will show our company logo, the employee's name and color photograph on the front.
There are many deceptive ways scammers operate. Remember these key points about how we do business and know that LG&E and KU will never do any of the following.
- Threaten to cut off your service if you do not make an immediate payment.
- Make a live or automated call to demand payment.
- Send someone to your home to demand payment.
- Ask you for a credit card or debit card number or checking account information.
- Ask you to pay with a prepaid debit card or gift card.
Customers who suspect they've been scammed or were targeted by a scammer also can call the police and then let LG&E and KU know by filling out the form at lge-ku.com/report/scam.
