Each week, the Metro Office of Planning creates a report listing all new land use applications in Jefferson County. These can include requests for changes in zoning, conditional use permits, waivers, landscape plans, and more. There are three cases in this week's report involving property in District 17:
- A landscape plan for a parking lot expansion at 2813 North Hurstbourne Parkway
- A minor plat to shift a property line at 804 N. English Station Road
- A request for a zoning certificate for 2055 Nelson Miller Parkway
If you have questions or comments about any of these proposals, please let me know or contact the case managers listed in the report.
If you're concerned about crime in your area and looking for ways you and your neighbors can get involved, you might consider starting a Neighborhood Watch. The QR Code above connects you with all the information you need such as help in finding your police division and beat, who to contact at LMPD to get started, what responsibilities fall to the members of the watch, and much more. If you have questions, please let me know. I'm happy to facilitate a Neighborhood Watch in your area!
I mentioned in May that Metro Public Works added a web page specifically to provide schedules, maps, and current information on roads and paving projects in our city. They have since added several other pages to help residents more easily access important information:
-
Road Closures - This page includes details on road closures related to KYTC construction projects, Louisville Water Company projects, and more.
-
Mowing - The mowing page has a tentative schedule for the six mowing cycles planned for 2025 and explains which agencies are responsible for various locations (vacant lots, bike trails, metro-owned lots, etc.). Public Works has plans to add weekly mowing updates and a mowing map, too.
-
Transportation Capital Projects - Interested in learning more about major transportation projects? This page has details about roadway and bicycle/pedestrian projects (including some along Westport Road and La Grange Road) planned throughout Louisville Metro.
-
Louisville Loop - This page includes a story map as well as a dashboard showing progress on the project and other related information.
Their next order of business is to work on pages related to potholes and speed humps. As soon as I find out those are ready, I will let you know.
