Hounz Lane Park Improvements

HL Park

Lights will be installed in Hounz Lane Park in the vicinity of where these wooden posts are located.


I mentioned last month in a newsletter that some substantial playground improvements are coming to Hounz Lane Park. Visitors to the park may notice a few other things as well in the coming weeks:

  • Additional lighting – lights will be installed along the road that runs through the park as well as around the circular parking lot.
  • Gallopalooza horse – a Gallopalooza horse will be installed near the park's entrance. It was designed by District 17 resident Ellie Sanchez-Galiano. 
  • Shelter – the shelter dedicated to former Meadow Vale Mayor Roy Fey was damaged recently by a large limb. A contractor is on site now replacing the entire roof. Work should be completed in a couple of weeks. 

If you've never been to Hounz Lane Park, I invite you to give it a try. It's a great place to try pickleball, have a picnic, or sit by the creek and read a book. For more information on the park, click here.

PDS Weekly Activity Report

Each week, Metro Planning and Design Services creates a report listing all new land use applications in Jefferson County. These requests typically include changes in zoning, conditional use permits, landscape plans, waivers, and more. There is one application in this week's report related to property in District 17, a variance to allow a new house at 11608 Hazelwood Road to encroach 15 feet into the required 75-foot front setback. The site plan can be viewed here. Please contact the case manager at mark.pinto@louisvilleky.gov with any questions or comments. 


Clean Collaborative Update

clean collaborative

Clean Collaborative crews picked up litter along KY 22 on Wednesday in repsonse to a request from a resident.


The Clean Collaborative returned to our area a couple of weeks ago to pick up litter along several roads in (and near) our district. In all, they collected 70 bags of trash, nine tires, and 36 other items from the following corridors:

  • Westport Road from Chenoweth Lane to La Grange Road
  • North Hurstbourne Parkway from Brownsboro Road to Shelbyville Road
  • Chamberlain Lane from Brownsboro Road to Old La Grange Road
  • Bush Farm Road from Old Henry Road to Aiken Road
  • North English Station Road from La Grange Road to Old Henry Road
  • Nelson Miller Parkway from La Grange Road to Old Henry Road
  • Old Henry Road from Bush Farm Road to North English Station Road
  • Stanley Gault Parkway from La Grange Road to Old Henry Road 

The above roads are done as part of the team's normal schedule. This week, however, they also responded to two additional requests by cleaning up along La Grange Road west of I-265 and along KY 22 between Chamberlain Lane and Murphy Lane. I very much appreciate what this crew does year-round to keep our city looking beautiful!
