 I am excited to be participating in Cafe LOUIE tomorrow (Feb. 7) at the Parkland Library from 9-10am. These events are a great way for residents to be engaged in their community and talk to their representatives directly. If you can't make it tomorrow, I'll also be at two more Cafe LOUIE events at Spalding University (on Feb. 28) and the Highlands-Shelby Park Library (we'll let you know once that's rescheduled).

It snowed in Louisville nearly two weeks ago, and our city is still recovering. While predictions before the snow went as high as 23”, we only received around 6”—but JCPS has only had three full days of school since. We had almost a full weeks’ notice that heavy snow was likely—but today there are still many residential streets and alleys in our district and throughout Louisville that are dangerously frozen over. Just a year ago we experienced the heaviest snow storm in twenty years that showed just how inadequately prepared our city is to address serious winter weather events—but this year the administration made it clear that any new streets added to planned snow plowing and treatment would require one-to-one removal of current routes.
Over a week ago, the Mayor of Lexington admitted that their city did not adequately plan for winter weather and vowed to make serious changes. I don’t understand why our city can’t expect the same. After all, the first step in solving a problem is admitting that there is one!
I’ve made it clear to anyone who has asked: the only way to fix this problem is in the budget. I believe that the primary barrier to being able to address this issue is that we have understaffed our Public Works Department, just as we have our Parks Department, the Louisville Free Public Library, and many of the other parts of Metro Government that contribute directly to the quality of life our residents have. We have a lean staffing model for local government that budget hawks on the Metro Council have lined up behind for every department except for LMPD.
Sacrificing every other function of our government for LMPD while crying “public safety!” is a false choice. Has the public been safe on our roads this week? Is the public safe in the neighborhoods that haven’t had their trash and recycling collected in three weeks between the MLK holiday and the snow and ice are safe as trash piles up in alleys, garages, porches and homes? Are the children of our public schools safe when they can’t access the full education they need? Is the public safe when parents are forced to choose between paying their rent or supervising those children when the condition of our roads keep their kids from school? Is the public safe when people are forced to walk in the street because landlords and corporations fail to clear the sidewalks throughout Louisville knowing that while it is their legal responsibility, there will be no enforcement of that law?
Louisville deserves real, holistic public safety and, no, I don’t think that money can or should be pulled from our libraries to achieve it. Louisville needs to see a real plan in the budget we pass this June for how we take care of the neighborhood streets for winters going forward. Due to climate change, we can expect to see more and more winter storms like this. We can’t keep losing entire weeks every winter because we don’t prioritize snow removal in the same way that other cities do. I will be fighting for that in the budget, and I hope everyone who is frustrated now will fight with me.
Solidarity,
Councilman JP Lyninger
