LOUISVILLE, Ky. (June 14, 2024) – The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) advises motorists of the closure of a section of KY 22 (Brownsboro Road) beginning Monday, June 17, in Jefferson County.
To maintain a safe driving lane during the KY 22 and Springcrest Drive intersection improvement project, KY 22 will be fully closed between Cliffwynde Trce and Pine Hurst Lane beginning Monday, June 17, at 6 a.m., and continuing through Friday, June 28.
Traffic is currently reduced to one lane between Cliffwynde Trace and Pine Hurst Lane, with motorists being directed through the work zone via temporary signals. Following the 11-day full closure of KY 22, the existing lane closure on KY 22, as well as the closure of Springcrest Drive at KY 22, will continue through project completion, now anticipated for the fall of 2024.
The reconstruction of two 11-foot travel lanes and a left turn lane at the Springcrest Drive intersection are included in this project. Additionally, a 6-foot sidewalk will be installed along the north side of KY 22 between the entrance just east of Cliffwynde Trce and Brownhurst Cove Road.
Signs notifying motorists of the upcoming closure have been posted. Drivers should follow the posted detour and anticipate delays.
 Louisville Metro Animal Services (MAS) is thrilled to unveil a partnership with Kroger for a Pet Supply Drive benefiting local shelter animals. Scheduled to run through June 17th, this collaborative effort highlights MAS's commitment to reuniting lost pets with their owners, decreasing the population of unwanted animals, and preventing instances of nuisance and dangerous animal encounters within our community.
District 16 Louisville Metro Councilman Scott Reed joined MAS and Kroger to promote the effort. “I am proud to join MAS and Kroger to assist in this partnership, which encourages a more compassionate, responsible, and safe community for people and our beloved pets,” he said.
Donation items like puppy pads, dog/cat food and treats can be conveniently purchased and deposited into specially designated bins at select Kroger locations throughout the area. For added convenience, items can also be acquired and delivered to MAS, 3528 Newburg Rd, directly through the Kroger App. Contributions can also be made directly to Friends of Metro Animal Services (FOMAS).
Funds raised through this initiative will be earmarked through FOMAS to support free microchipping and spaying/neutering services provided by MAS. These essential services not only facilitate the safe return of lost pets to their families but also play a pivotal role in addressing the issue of stray animal overpopulation in our community.
Join us at these participating locations as we embark on this meaningful journey to make a tangible difference in the lives of our animal companions:

Louisville Metro Public Works and the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) released a new report on pedestrian safety in Louisville. Prepared by Palmer Engineering and HDR, the report finds that fatal and suspected serious injury crashes have increased over the past decade. Across the U.S., pedestrian deaths reached a 40-year high in 2023.
The Understanding Pedestrian Crashes report represents a comprehensive study of pedestrian crashes in Jefferson County over a ten-year period (2011-2020) on all public streets and roadways, with the exception of expressways, freeways, and interstates.
With the highest density of pedestrian activity, Downtown Louisville is a hotspot for pedestrian crashes. The Understanding Pedestrian Crashes report identifies several Downtown intersections among the top for pedestrian crashes. Reports released by Louisville Downtown Partnership, including its 2017 Downtown Mobility Study and recently released Downtown Strategy, also highlight the need to improve pedestrian safety in the area.
The report includes four lists of intersections recommended for pedestrian safety improvements. Of the 176 total unique intersections, 85% are included in Louisville's High Injury Network. A High Injury Network is a data-driven approach which identifies non-interstate roadway segments that account for a disproportionate amount of a community's fatal and serious injury crashes. The High Injury Network allows communities to focus limited resources on improving safety along those high priority, dangerous corridors.

 You have likely already heard the buzz informing you that mosquito season is officially here. To protect Jefferson County residents from diseases the pests can carry, the Louisville Metro Department of Public Health and Wellness (LMPHW) is out in the community actively treating known breeding grounds, trapping mosquitoes and testing them for diseases such as West Nile virus, St. Louis Encephalitis virus, La Cosse Encephalitis virus and Eastern Equine Encephalitis virus.
Last year, LMPHW mosquito control specialists treated 14,500 catch basins to eliminate mosquito larvae as well as 8,982 miles of swampy areas and large areas of land known to collect standing water. The department also placed 148 mosquito traps around the city and county.
To protect you and your family from mosquitoes, remember the three D’s: Drain, Defend, Dress.
Drain: Prevent mosquito breeding grounds by emptying standing water from flowerpots, gutters, buckets, pool covers, toys, pet water dishes, discarded tires and drain birdbaths on a regular basis.
Defend: Use insect repellents when you go outdoors. Repellents containing DEET, picaridin, IR3535 and some oil of lemon eucalyptus and para-menthane-diol products provide longer-lasting protection. To optimize safety and effectiveness, repellents should be used according to the label instructions. Learn more information about choosing a repellent product that is right for you.
Dress: Wear long sleeves, long pants, socks and closed-toed shoes when outdoors. Avoid perfumes and scented lotions.
To make a complaint about mosquitos in your neighborhood, call Metro311 or 502-574-5000. To learn more about mosquitoes and ways to prevent mosquito bites, visit our mosquito control and prevention web page or view more ways to protect yourself from mosquitoes in your own backyard.

-
A consumer searching online for used car parts was scammed out of $195 and never received the ordered item. BBB warns consumers to always check business profiles at bbb.org before buying.
-
A consumer reported a fake family emergency call to BBB. The consumer was contacted by a scammer claiming to be his son calling from the scene of an auto accident.

If you receive a call regarding a family emergency that sounds suspicious, hang up and contact the individual directly to verify.
-
BBB warns consumers to be on the lookout for medical bill scams. If you receive a bill, verify the claim first, look up the customer service number listed on the bill and make sure it’s registered with an official business, don’t give in to scare tactics, and guard your personal information.
-
BBB warns consumers to be on the lookout for customer service imposters. Red flags include “representatives” who don’t know any details about your account, who ask for information not needed to handle your issue (such as your Social Security Number), or who say you need to pay money to resolve your issue.
