Metro Public Works opened up a 30-day comment period on the Brownsboro Road Diet project to allow citizens an additional opportunity to provide input. The project modifies a portion of U.S. 42 (Brownsboro Road) between Ewing Avenue and Drescher Bridge in the Clifton neighborhood, improving driver and pedestrian safety. Phase One, from Drescher Bridge Avenue to Lindsay Avenue, will use restriping to transition the roadway from four lanes to three lanes. Phase Two, from Lindsay to Ewing Ave, includes reconstruction of the north curb and the addition of a sidewalk. The entire project length is 0.4 miles.
(Note: brownsboro road diet---lower case letters, no spaces)
Or send to: Brownsboro Road Diet Comments, c/o Metro Public Works, 444. S. 5th Street Suite 400, Louisville, KY 40202
The comment period will close Sunday, April 29, 2012.
The project was developed by Metro Public Works in cooperation with the Federal Highway Administration, the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet and Metro Councilwoman Tina Ward-Pugh.
Louisville Metro Police Department, Louisville Metro Solid Waste and Kroger are teaming up to provide opportunities for Louisville residents to safely dispose of their unused medication products. They are sponsoring five (5) expired drug toss events in Louisville. This is drive-by event and there is no need to leave your vehicle.

Medication products should never be flushed down the toilet or the drain, burned in the open or thrown in the trash because:
- They can contaminate the environment if they get into the drinking or ground water
- They may kill bacteria or produce drug resistant bacteria in sewage treatment plants and septic systems if flushed down the drain
- Burning can release toxic pollutants into the air
- They can be scavenged from your trash receptacles to be illegally used or sold
- They can be taken mistakenly and cause serious health problems
Items that organizers are encouraging citizens to bring to the toss are:
- Expired or unused medications
- Bulk or loose tablets and capsules
- Medications that should be kept cold, but were not
Items not accepted:
- Used or unused sharps, hypodermic needles and lances, due to safety reasons
- Cosmetics, personal care or hygiene items
Due to the volume of drugs brought to the site, please place all tablets and capsules in a zip-lock bag. Vials (with personal information marked out) should be placed in another bag/container. Also, place all bottled liquids and tubes of medication into separate bags. This will help the process move more quickly.
For the safety of your family, please keep all medications properly closed in their original child-resistant containers and transfer to bags immediately prior to your visit to the drug toss. NO CLINICS, MEDICAL OFFICES or PHARMACIES
