An important update is coming to the rental registration process!
The Rental Registry (Chapter 119), which is enforced by the Department of Codes & Regulations, aims to maintain transparency and accountability among rental property owners across the city. Starting November 4th, those who need to register their long-term rental properties will transition from using the Metro Business Portal to a new, user-friendly platform called Slate.
The Slate application, developed by Tolemi, has been implemented in several other cities, such as Monterey, CA and Lakewood, WA, for their Rental Registry initiatives. The effectiveness of the program in these locations is underscored by terms like "streamlined," "compliance," and "customer-friendly." We are confident this change will benefit rental property owners and increase the health and wellbeing of their tenants.
A comprehensive step-by-step guide for registering your property using Slate, along with extra detailed information, will be provided by the Department of Codes & Regulations on the day the program is launched. Updates to their website will also be made available at that time. For more information, subscribe to the Rental Property Owner Newsletter by filling out your email address in the following link (you can unsubscribe anytime).

Effective January 26, 2025, TARC plans to implement a series of reductions and service changes. The changes will help TARC to be more reliable and are another step to address TARC’s impending fiscal cliff. The proposed changes include:
- Three route discontinuations (the #22, the #52, and the #63)
- Two route consolidations to absorb coverage of discontinued routes (changes to the #18 18th Street and #29 Eastern Parkway)
- Routing reductions (the #17 Bardstown and #25 Oak Street)
- Frequency reductions (the #4 4th Street and #10 Dixie Highway will go from every 15 minutes to every 20 minutes)
Assorted other changes, including an increase on frequency on the #29 Eastern Parkway and #40 Taylorsville Road to reduce the impact of the changes on TARC customers.
READ A FULL LISTING OF THE PROPOSED CHANGES HERE
TARC is proposing these reductions for two important reasons:
-
A more reliable TARC: TARC service is not sufficiently reliable. A major reason is that TARC has too many routes with very low ridership and not enough operators to consistently operate them. The planned service reductions aim to enhance TARC’s reliability, providing a more dependable transit experience for customers.
-
TARC’s fiscal cliff: Earlier this year, TARC projected a $30 million deficit by mid-2026 in if action is not taken before then. These proposed reductions are anticipated to save $4 million annually.
You can give feedback on the proposed service changes via:
- TARC’s online comment system
- TARC’s social media platforms
- Customer Care Line: 502-585-1234
- Email: publiccomment@ridetarc.org
- In-person at TARC Union Station (1000 West Broadway, Louisville, KY 40203)
There will also be two TARC open houses where community members can ask questions about the proposed changes and submit comments:
- Wednesday, November 13: TARC Building, 1000 W Broadway; 5-7 pm
- Thursday, November 14: Shively City Hall, 3920 Dixie Highway; 5-7 pm

Fall Leaves Mowing over leaves to mulch them back into your lawn is a great option for reducing waste. Mulching not only returns vital nutrients to the soil, but experts say that it can help your grass grow even better the following year!
Never blow leaves into the street! If you see Street Sweeping signs posted on your street, please make sure to move your vehicle so any leaves that fell naturally on the street can be properly cleaned.
Leaf Drop-Off Sites (coming soon!)
The Metro Public Works free leaf drop-off sites will be open Tuesday-Saturdays, November 5 through December 7. Drop-off will not be available on November 28 and 29 in observance of the Thanksgiving holiday. Only leaves will be accepted. Leaves can be loose, in paper/compostable bags, or reusable containers. Containers used to bring leaves to the drop-off sites must be taken back by residents.
Locations and hours starting Tuesday, November 5:
- Public Works Yard, 10500 Lower River Road (enter from Bethany Lane), Tuesday-Saturday, 9 a.m.-3 p.m.

REMINDER/UPDATE
From the Cannons Lane Project Team:
Currently we are installing sidewalks and will soon start working on installing driveway aprons. We will work with homeowners on this process and try to minimize impacts to their schedules but patience is key to all of this.
We are also held up installing the last of the drainage pipes due to another utility conflict at Old Cannons Lane. We ran into a waterline that will have to be moved. We will also reach out to any residents that may be affected when this work takes place.
Construction on The Dot Experience continues. The front of APH is a bustling hive of construction activity. To the left, there is scaffolding around concrete support columns. In the center, the elevator and stairwell have been framed in concrete. To the right, a yellow bulldozer is parked in front of the entrance for the attraction. A large crane towers over the construction zone.
