Pothole Blitz and Public Works Month

Mayor Craig Greenberg joined Metro Public Works' Roads & Operations crews Monday in celebrating the 2024 Pothole Blitz season, which features eleven teams deployed every day throughout Metro Louisville to keep the roads in safe condition. 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. "Our Public Works team did a really, really outstanding job with the snow and ice we saw this winter. Moreover, their versatility continues to be showcased as they worked tirelessly removing debris left behind by the tornado that hit our city in April," Mayor Greenberg said. "Spring is here, and our team members have traded their snow-removing hard hats for pothole repair ones. We appreciate all their hard work.” “I want to give big thanks to our Public Works team for the work it does throughout the year. Whether it’s Transportation, Engineering, Solid Waste Collection, Electrical Maintenance or all the other infrastructural services our department provides our citizenry to maintain a safer and healthier quality of life, Public Works is always at the ready for our city,” said Public Works Director Jennifer Caummisar-Kern. “Today, our Roads & Operations crews transition from snow and tornado debris removal, to continue the work of keeping Metro roadways safe through our Pothole Blitz initiative.” Residents have three ways to report a pothole: By calling Metro311, (502-574-5000) On social media using #502pothole On our website at gov/government/public-works/services/report-pothole-or-other-city-services-issue The mayor also presented a proclamation to recognize the team, as May is National Public Works Month. 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.

Remember the Camp Taylor Elementary School pantry as you shop

Tiffany Bolling from the Family Resource Center has reached out to request food donations for the school pantry at Camp Taylor Elementary School. 

Not only do we feed our students and their families at Camp Taylor and Audubon Traditional Elementary Schools, we also have a food pantry in front of the school to feed the community. 

Our pantry is usually stocked through Dare to Care, but the food goes so quickly. Our homeless demographic has doubled from last school year. I am trying to keep up with the nutritional support I can provide, but it's a struggle.

If you are able to assist in getting us food to fill our pantry, donations can be sent to: Camp Taylor Elementary School, The Kid Connection FRC, 1446 Belmar Drive, Louisville, KY, 40213.
