 Families of crash victims and road safety advocates will gather with Louisville Mayor Craig Greenberg and others at JCTC Downtown on Sunday, November 17 at 3:00 PM for Louisville’s third annual World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims. The event is held every third Sunday in November to honor those who have lost their lives or been impacted by roadway crashes.
This year’s event will be held at the Newberry Community Room in the Health Sciences Hall (110 W. Chestnut Street). Guests are encouraged to use the 2nd Street entrance. Parking is available at the Downtown Family YMCA (555 S. 2nd Street).
The event organizers, which include Matthew’s Bridge, Inc. and Vision Zero Louisville, are renewing their call for state legislation that allows automated speed enforcement in Kentucky. According to the Federal Highway Administration, speed safety cameras can reduce roadway fatalities by 20 to 37 percent. Studies show higher speeds result in greater impact at the time of a crash, which leads to more severe injuries and deaths.
In 2022, Louisville Metro Council passed an ordinance calling for zero roadway deaths by 2050 through a transportation safety initiative called Vision Zero Louisville. The initiative is managed by Louisville Metro Public Works, in partnership with the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet. The initiative promotes a multi-layered approach to saving lives, including redesigning roadways to encourage appropriate speeds, and improving trauma-related care for crash victims.
On 11/12/2024 the Public Works Solid Waste Enforcement team located a vehicle in the 100 Block of E. Garrett St. (District 21) that had been involved in illegally dumping of mattresses in the 4400 Block of Louisville Ave. (District 21). The Enforcement Team received these images via surveillance camera footage and a citation was issued to the registered owner of the vehicle, which included $750.00 in fines impoundment fines for their vehicle. They can retrieve their vehicle out of impound in 72 hours after the fine and fees are paid. The individual admitted to the dumping and was educated on ways to properly dispose of the items. Thanks to our whole team for another successful impound!
Did you know..? Many items that are illegally dumped could have been dropped off for free at the Waste Reduction Center on Meriwether Avenue or at one of our Pop-Up Drop-Off events. And even when the debris does not qualify for free disposal, the cost to dispose may be as low as $60.

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.
*ALSO: MSD asks if you see a catch basin covered with leaves, in front of your home or near by please collect them/clear the basin! That will assist in proper drainage and helps everyone.*
