Nothing to report this week...
Signage has been placed on Shelbyville Road near Eastwood that alert motorists to the Middletown Eastwood Trail (MET) multi-use path project taking place in conjunction with LG & E Upgrades.
We anticipate that projects 5-8952.0 and 5-525.0 will commence later this month or in early September, contingent upon LG&E’s utility relocation schedule.
The MET Section 2 project (5-3030.2), which runs from South Beckley Station to Bircham Road, began last week. Louisville Paving has already installed advance warning signs and initiated potholing to locate existing utilities.

WE RECEIVED THE FOLLOWING LETTER IN OUR OFFICE.
Dear Neighbor:We are writing to invite you to a follow-up meeting to the one held on May 21, 2025 to again present neighbors with our Development Potential Transfer Subdivision Plan to allow a 90-lot single-family subdivision to be located as above.
A preliminary subdivision application was filed for review with the Office of Planning on June 30, 2025 that was assigned case number 25-MSUB-0007 and case manager Tyler Pobiedzinski. This second neighborhood meeting is being held to describe the plan, and in particular discuss the changes.
Since the last neighborhood meeting, the plan has changed as follows: (i) the total number of lots has been increased from 88 to 90, (ii) the minimum lot width has changed from 50’ to 45’, (iii) the average lot size has been reduced from 7,282 sf to 7,124 sf, and (iv) open space has been reduced from 341,893 sf (or 7.85 acres) to 258,537 sf (or 5.94 acres). Access to the site will still be from the existing stubs on the north and south property lines, thereby connecting Idlewood Lane and Hines Mill Way. There will also be a connection on the east property line, directly across Hofelich Lane, for the 11 proposed lots in that area. We would like to explain this updated plan and hear what thoughts, issues and concerns you may have.
The meeting will be held on Tuesday, September 9, 2025, beginning at 6:00 p.m. at the Fern Creek Community Center and Chamber of Commerce located at 6104 Bardstown Road, Louisville, Kentucky.

Tickets on sale now!
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (August 21, 2025) – The Friends of the Louisville Zoo is thrilled to announce tickets for their newest fundraising event — Skelebration — are now on sale! This exclusive after-hours 21+ Halloween extravaganza is set for October 8 from 6 to 9 p.m. and promises to immerse attendees in a night at the Zoo that will quickly become their new favorite fall event!
“The Friends of the Zoo is such an amazing partner that helps ensure our Zoo remains a top destination for families across the region,” said Louisville Mayor Craig Greenberg. “This new event should be incredibly popular and creates a unique opportunity for adults to enjoy how our Zoo pulls out all the stops for Halloween.”
Skelebration will provide plenty of treats, and a couple tricks, too. As adults set out on the traditional Boo at the Zoo Halloween route, they will have the opportunity to “trick-or-treat” from station to station indulging in specialty food and beverage tastings, a signature cocktail and mocktail, beer, wine, and festive treats. Some party-goers may even stop along the way to do a little dancing at the Cosmic Disco!
For those brave Skelebration guests, a visit to the spider house may offer a few spine-tingling surprises, while those looking for something a little more traditional can take a spin on the Zoo’s carousel or pose for photos with their favorite costumed characters. Guests are encouraged to wear their own costumes as well. Details about a costume contest will be unveiled on the Zoo’s website soon.
Skelebration will also offer additional opportunities to support the Zoo where guests can take home an extra special treat of their own via a bourbon pull and silent auction. Proceeds from this fundraising event will benefit special projects and capital needs of the Louisville Zoo.
Early bird tickets are $75 per person now through September 14. Tickets will increase to $90 the week of the event. For more information about Skelebration and to purchase tickets, visit louisvillezoo.org/skelebration.
