"Metro Councileman Jon Ackerson stopped by just after the metting was adjourned and siad that the new sidewalk will be installed in March." Larry quote from the Mayors Message
I don't believe enough careful consideration has been given to the Bellemeade Residents and Homeowners that will be directly affected by the installation of this sidewalk! The Mayor and Commissioners have a duty to the citizens of Bellemeade...Not Council Ackerson.
Have the Commissioners and or Mayor contacted the residents along Shelbyville Rd to notify THEM of this plan????? This discussion was NOT on the agenda and NOT brought up until the meeting was over. I attended the meeting and wanted answers and NONE was given. These residents deserve to know the Personal Liability that each of them face with the addition of a sidewalk in from of their home! Just because UL wants it, and Council Ackerson is giving "Grant Money" towards it, doesn't release the liability that comes along with a sidewalk.
Come on people! Get the opinion of the RESIDENTS/Homeowners! door to door.
I know Mr Mayor has no problem walking up to residents and confronting them. So get out there and do your job.
