Safety Improvements, Paving, Sidewalks and Parks Receive boosts in Metro Council’s Budget Proposal
Eight years ago, the Metro Council, working with the Metro Public Works Department set a plan to significantly increase Metro’s annual investment in paving. At that time Metro typically spent less than $3 million on repairing our roads. Since creating that plan, the Metro Council has stayed the course and kept road funding at over $20 million, reaching over $30 million for the past two years. Reaching this funding goal annually has not been easy, as both the current and previous Mayors have attempted to underfund paving over the course of the past eight years, but the Metro Council has stuck to its goals and has managed to find the funding needed to help improve our roads to a state that best serves the people of Jefferson County.
This year Mayor Greenberg underfunded paving by $8 million. This lack of funded set us up for one of our biggest challenges, but working together, the members of the Metro Council we again able to meet our goal of $30 million and stay true to our plans for bringing all Metro roads into a safe condition within the next few years.
District 23 Roads Included in Budget for Repaving:
Shepherdsville Rd (Outer Loop to E. Manslick Rd),
Ferndale Rd (S. Watterson Trl to Fern Creek Rd),
Holgate Dr, Hasbrook Dr, Ashbrooke Gardens Dr, Ashbrooke Gardens Ct, Brook Trace Ct, Leven Blvd (Mt. Washington Rd to Cassidy Ln), Samuel Long Way, Charles Lindsey Ct, Leven Ct, Apple Valley Dr (Outer Loop to Courtland), Rambo Way.
Building Momentum in other aspects of Metro Government
After achieving annual success funding paving, the Metro Council began to shift focus to other aspects of local government such as street markings, bridge repair, sidewalk repair and fixing our parks. This year, just as with paving, we were left to fight to fully fund aspects of the budget focused on deferred maintenance.
Fortunately, as with paving, the Metro Council was able to increase our investment in parks maintenance, street signage and markings (making it easier to see lines on paved streets) as well as continued focus on fixing bridges and dams. Catching up on deferred maintenance isn’t necessarily the kind of thing that gets you many accolades, but it an essential part of living up to our responsibility to serve the people of Louisville.
District 23 Park Projects Secured in the FY25 Budget:
- $250,000 - Quail Chase Golf Course entrance road repaving and clubhouse roof repair
- $200,000 - Replacement of playground at McNeely Lake Park
- $150,000 - Continued improvements to Highview Park including new pickleball and basketball courts
- $100,000 - Highview maintenance building improvements
