To keep in line with our beautification mission of the city, new signage will be installed throughout beginning with a new entrance sign at each of the 6 entrances (Perryman, Ahland, Beechwood, Westport Ter, Walser and Ambridge Cir) These new 18 x 24 welcome signs will replace the existing signs we currently have to remind visitors they are entering our city and the speed limit is 25 mph and we have no on street parking. 

There will be 6 new No Parking signs scattered throughout, 6 new Speed Limit signs and 6 new Neighborhood Watch signs. Many of the signs we currently had were weather worn as they had not been replaced in more than 20 years. We may add more if we feel the need is present.

These were scheduled to be installed this week, however, now it looks like they will be installed by the end of May. They are coming though- the sign company is just a little behind!

The City Council discussed speeding options once again in our April meeting. Chief Wilson has taken some recent radar and he confirms that both of these streets continue to see vehicles travelling faster than they should.

The new fiscal budget will include monies allocated for 

1. Two temporary speed humps placed on Kinloch Road. This may lead to a permanent speed hump being installed on Kinloch at a later time depending on if speeding continues.
2. There will be two new stop signs placed at Walser and Alicent. They will be placed on Walser (one heading north and one heading south). This intersection will become a 4- way stop. The additional stop signs that were placed on Beechwood Road have reduced the speed considerably since those have been installed, so we are hopeful the same will happen on Walser.

Let's all slow down together!

While attending a recent Jefferson County League of Cities board meeting, I became aware that Louisville Metro is still pushing the Middle Housing Initiative. It is possible that a draft proposal could soon be coming out of the Economic Office with Jeff O'Brien of Louisville Metro. Apparently, the metro council is split on the issue and they will need one democrat to vote NO on this potential initiative that will have the ability to change the way housing looks currently in single family, R-4 zoned cities and neighborhoods.
