When Councilman Owen first got into office, we received a few calls about bringing back the Trolley Hop, and we're excited to announce that we are planning to do just that with the help of our community partners! Please take a few moments to complete the 10 question survey linked below. Your input will be very helpful in making the Trolley Hop relaunch a success.

We are currently preparing for our 2024 Christmas Connection. We are asking for $150 cash donations to sponsor a child. The donations will be used to purchase retail and grocery gift cards in order to cover a child's gifts and food over the holidays. If supporters are unable to donate the full $150 to sponsor a child, they are still invited to donate a smaller donation to go towards the program. Any amount is meaningful and will go to support a family during the holidays. Individuals can sign up to become a sponsor directly through our website. To sign-up and receive more information about sponsorship visit the following link: https://www.uchmlouky.org/christmas-connection-sponsorship-sign-up/ or you can mail your cash or check donation to United Crescent Hill Ministries at 150 State Street Louisville, KY 40206. The deadline for donation is December 9th, 2023.
You are invited to attend the United Crescent Hill Ministries Christmas Party, which will be held here at UCHM on December 17th from 6pm-7:30pm.
If you have any questions and or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact Stephanie Henry-Floyd at 502-893-0346. We look forward to serving together this holiday season!
Crescent Hill Carbon Storage Silos
- The Environmental Protection Agency has set new regulatory standards for the treatment of PFAS.
- PFAS or per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances are a group of manufactured chemicals that do not naturally occur.
- Louisville Water is currently in compliance with the proposed regulations, however our history of innovation and staying in front of all drinking water standards is driving us to develop extra treatment standards for removing PFAS.
- Our strategy is to treat PFAS with powder activated carbon (PAC). PAC is effective at removing the PFAS we experience in our source water. PAC is also effective in removing other compounds that greatly improve the quality of our finished water.
- To implement this strategy, it is necessary to construct additional storage capacity and upgrade the existing PAC feed system.
- Three storage silos will be constructed within our existing fence line, parallel to the RR tracks along Frankfort Avenue between Pennsylvania and Reservoir Avenue
- The silos will be constructed with a brick façade and will be approximately 60 feet tall.
- Construction is expected to start in June/July of 2025 and will take approximately 10-12 months to complete
- Louisville Water is hosting a neighborhood meeting on November 12 at 6:30 at the Water Tower to discuss the project
 |
Redundant Pump Station
- Louisville Water is constructing a redundant pump station to improve the reliability of our water service.
- Once constructed we can update the existing pump station and piping system that provides water to most of Louisville
- Pump Station will be approximately 4,000 square feet and about 40 feet tall, which is several feet lower that the existing pump station
- The exterior will be architecturally similar to the existing security building at our Stilz Avenue entrance and designed to compliment the architecture of the original pump station
- Construction is expected to start in January
- The most noticeable construction activity will be hoe-ramming to remove rock This is expected to last 3-6 months (we will NOT be blasting)
- Overall construction will take approximately 2 years
Smokestack Painting/Cellular Equipment
- Louisville Water has a project to repaint the existing smokestack.
- Painting is expected to start in March of 2025
- The existing tower has multiple cellular antennas attached to the smokestack that must be temporarily removed to allow for the painting
- This will require the placement of two temporary cell towers. One will be located near the fountain and the second will be near our entrance off of Stilz
- The temporary towers will go up around the first of the year and will be in place for approximately 6 months .
- Once the smokestack painting is complete the cellular antennas will be placed back onto the smokestack and the temporary cell towers will be removed

The purpose of the project is to improve safety along the identified sections.
The meeting will be a public open house event from 5 to 7 p.m. in Room #4 at Butchertown Market, 1201 Story Avenue, Louisville, Ky. Those who are interested may drop in any time to review roadway configurations, receive handouts containing project information, and fill out comment sheets.

All Open Records Requests must be submitted to the Transportation Cabinet, Office of Legal Services, Transportation Office Building, 200 Metro St, Frankfort, KY 40622, or via kytc.openrecords@ky.gov.

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).

TARC is hosting two open houses this week on the proposed January 2025 service reductions and changes. TARC staff will be on hand throughout each open house to answer questions or help you to submit comments about the proposed changes. Open house times are:
- Wednesday, November 13: TARC Building, 1000 W Broadway; 5-7 pm
- Thursday, November 14: Shively City Hall, 3920 Dixie Highway; 5-7 pm
|
|
|
|
These service changes are planed to go into effect January 26, 2025. 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.
|
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)

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.

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.

From the Cannons Lane Project Team:
Currently we have in a good deal of our sidewalk and will be working on driveway entrances and aprons. A crosswalk at Cannons and Dayton is also underway including flashing beacons. The previous completion date of November 14th has been pushed back due to a slight delay with a water main relocation. We are working with KYTC to finalize the new completion date. Stay tuned for additional details. Thank you so much for your patience with this project. We think you will be pleased with the finished product.
Progress toward the construction of The Dot Experience is now more evident, from the framing for new windows to the installation of precast concrete walls. This progress takes us one step closer to the opening in 2026. Thank you, as always, to the community for your patience during the construction process. We can’t wait to welcome you to the uniquely new experience.
