Summer Pickleball Leagues Safety Around Water-Teaching Skills That Save Lives-Sign Up For A Free Safety Clinic The YMCA of Greater Louisville will kick off an initiative addressing Swim Equity in May. Drowning is a local and national crisis; it’s the leading cause of death for children ages 1–4 and the second for those ages 5–14, with 4,000 fatal incidents annually in the U.S. alone–a staggering 11 drowning deaths per day. A number of socioeconomic, geographic and racial factors only worsen the statistics. Sixty-four percent of Black, 45% of Hispanic/Latino, and 40% of Caucasian children have little to no swimming skills. That’s why all YMCA branches in the Louisville area are offering free Safety Around Water clinics May 16-19, in alignment with National Learn How to Swim Day on Saturday, May 18. Additional clinics will be held in June and July. To learn more about these clinics and how to register, visit ymcalouisville.org. For more information, including water safety tips, follow the YMCA of Greater Louisville on Facebook and Instagram. Pothole Blitz Metro makes pothole repairs year-round, averaging some 40,000 potholes per year. So far this year, Public Works has repaired more than 23,000 potholes, including those filled in the annual Blitz, a concentrated effort that began in March. Residents have three ways to report a pothole:
The Department of Public Works & Assets is responsible for maintaining the city's infrastructure through road construction and maintenance, managing construction projects, transportation planning, snow removal, solid waste collection, and operation and maintenance of all of Metro’s traffic signals. The department has implemented a number of initiatives to ensure even safer and more efficient roadways, such as the annual Pothole Blitz and ongoing paving projects.
