🚧 Help shape the future of Barret Avenue!

Louisville Metro’s Department of Transportation is hosting an open house next week to discuss design options before we repave and restripe Barret Avenue, from Rufer Avenue to East Broadway. Join us to vote on your preferred design and offer feedback!

📅 Tuesday, March 24
🕔 5 - 7 p.m.
📍 Highlands Community Ministries gymnasium, 1228 E. Breckinridge St.

This is a follow-up to our December 2023 community conversation, where neighbors shared their ideas and experiences. Now’s your chance to help shape the final design.

Stop by anytime during the open house to share your thoughts with the project team!

Our neighborhood association has an opportunity to provide the St. Therese gym and parking lot as the site for a farmer’s market in Germantown.
We realize this opportunity may have come too late. But if you, or someone you know is a grower/farmer who would like to sell their produce to our neighbors please get in touch. Call or text (502)500-3333 and we’ll talk or reply by text.
Because time is running short, we will need to have commitments to participate in the market no later than March 27. Also, we need to have enough vendors to make the market viable and inviting, or we won’t go forward with it.
