District 25 Update - Councilman David Yates


1st Annual Valley Angel Tree

tree

The 1st Annual Valley Angel Tree will be located at two locations: Lone Wolf Family Sports Pub on Valley Station Road and Applebee's in Valley Station on Dixie Hwy. We're are wanting to reach a goal of $500 for 10 Kids to have a $50 gift card to shop at a local store on Saturday December 20th with the partnership of the Southwest Ministries between 9 am to 11 am. 

The Angel tree will be up this weekend!

WHEN: November 15th until December 19th

WHERE: Lone Wolf Family Sports Pub, 5501 Valley Station Road & Applebee's 10600 Dixie Highway

We're so excited to network with Southwest Ministries and Lone Wolf Family Sports Pub to better serve our community during Christmas this year. We're going to make this the first Annual 2014 Valley Angel Tree and move it every year to another business to hopefully make each year better and match the previous year. So excited! 

Lone Wolf Family Sports Pub is going to sell Hand made Angels that are in dollar variations up to $50 per child. White -$1, Red - $5, Green - $10, Bronze - $20, Silver - $25, Gold - $50

Our goal is to reach at least $500 to reach 10 children or more. Your Helping hand at Lone Wolf Family Sports Pub on Valley Station road would be greatly appreciated. Deadline is set for December 19th 2014.

Free Paper Yard Waste Bags & Labels

yardwaste

As Louisville continues the transition away from regular plastic bags for yard waste disposal, our Solid Waste division is offering free paper yard waste bags along with labels for reusable yard waste containers during the balance of the fall leaf season.

All residents are also invited to pick up a sample bag and flyer at one of the locations below. Those opting for reusable containers are also invited to pick up free labels to place on those containers that will help collection crews identify yard waste. Leaf drop-off is also available through December 6 as listed separately below.

This will give everyone a chance to sample the strength and quality of the paper bags in advance of the January 1, 2015 start of enforcement of the regulation.

The flyer will remind residents of the options for compliance, including mulch mowing—what we call Love ‘Em and Leave ‘Em—reusable containers, paper yard waste bags and compostable plastic.

Bag and label pick up sites:

  • 595 Hubbards Lane Recycling Center
  • 7201 Dixie Highway Recycling Center
  • 7219 Outer Loop Recycling Center
  • 600 Meriwether Ave. Solid Waste Office

For more information regarding the transition to Paper Bags please visit: http://louisvilleky.gov/government/public-works/yard-waste

Track Progress of Snow Removal throughout the Winter with Online Map

snow trucks

The Louisville Metro Snow Team is made up nearly 300 employees from four agencies - Metro Public Works, Solid Waste Management Services, Metro Parks and Codes and Regulations. The Snow Team uses 160 pieces of equipment to clear 1,362 miles of road in Louisville. The total two-lane miles covered by crews on designated snow routes equals 2,721. 

Louisville's snow routes focus on major roads, school and TARC bus routes, arteries to local employers and hospital and emergency routes.

As a part of an ongoing agreement with the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, city crews will treat and clear most state roads and highways. That equals about 315 miles of roads in Louisville, including roads such as Shelbyville Road, Beulah Church Road and Dixie Highway.

The city's salt storage facilities are well-stocked and ready to fight winter weather. Before the season's first snowflake, the city had 35,000 tons of salt available, including 15,000 tons on hand at salt domes and storage facilities as well as 20,000 tons stored underground for emergency reserve.

During a winter weather event, you can track the progress of snow removal using and interactive map that is constantly updated with the latest info. It's a great tool to use before hitting the roadways when they are in poor condition.
