 Jon Pilbean with Metro Homeless Services answered questions at our coffee meeting last month.
My next coffee meeting will be Monday, April 22 at the Middletown Library, 12556 Shelbyville Road. While we typically hold these meetings in the morning, this one will begin at 6 p.m. If you haven't been able to join us before, maybe a different time will help! These coffees are great opportunities to hear what's going on in metro government and share any concerns or questions you have. I hope to see you on the 22nd!
I was pleased with the turnout last month as Jon Pilbean shared how the city responds to homeless concerns. If there is a metro department you'd like to hear from or know more about, please let me know. I'm happy to ask a representative to attend.

 I wanted to send a final reminder about our district cleanup tomorrow morning. We'll meet at 9 a.m. in the parking lot of Chick-fil-A (10501 Westport Road), specifically the row of spaces in the rear of the building. I'll have t-shirts, bags, gloves, and grabbers for those volunteering. The plan is to pick up litter along Westport Road and any other areas near that intersection that need it. I hope to see you there!
 Louisville Parks and Recreation has placed signage in 30 public parks throughout the city in hopes of getting visitors to provide feedback on their park experience. The signage (see above) will include a QR code that links directly to a survey that takes only about five minutes to complete. An online version of the survey can be found here for those who may not be able to access the signage in their park. The survey will be active for about three weeks.
Each week, Metro Planning and Design Services creates a report listing all new land use cases in Jefferson County. These typically include requests for changes in zoning, conditional use permits, variances, and more. There are two applications in this week's report involving property in District 17, both of which are landscape plans. One pertains to a child care center at 13101 Eastpoint Park Boulevard. The other is connected to a proposed Zaxby's at 9903 Brownsboro Road. Please contact the case manager listed in the report with any questions.
City planners from the Office of Planning will be available to answer questions about zoning (what it is, why it matters, etc.) and the ongoing Land Development Code (LDC) Reform project on Tuesday, April 16 from 3-7 p.m. at the Northeast Regional Library. They want to not only hear about questions regarding your neighborhood but also discuss what the potential reforms mean for you! This is the third series of conversations offered by planners.
