New Traffic Signal Bike Markings

           

              Metro Public Works has been out recently painting bike symbols at key traffic lights along bike routes to help cyclists know where to place their bike to initiate the light to change. Whether the symbol is there or not, you can often get the light to change when no other vehicles are present in your lane by placing your bike over the new quadrangle saw cuts in the roadway or by placing your bike over the saw cut on the standard induction loops.

 

Having an issue getting the light to change? Let us know.

2nd Sunday is Coming…October 11th

2nd Sunday is a statewide event that encourages all forms of physical activity within the local community and is designed to get Kentuckians moving.  Communities across Kentucky are planning to simultaneously close a roadway or plan an event from 2-6 p.m. on the second Sunday of October so that residents can bike, walk, run, play and participate in fun and healthy activities.

 

In Louisville, 2^nd Sunday will take place on Champions Trace which runs between Newburg Road and Hikes Lane next to the old Bashford Manor Mall. The road will be closed from 2 p.m. until 6 p.m. for this free event which includes activities for the whole family.
