Springhurst Neighborhood

City Planners are working towards creating a 100-mile trail for bikers/walkers around the city of Louisville. They’re calling it the Louisville Loop. Depending on the route and design of the path, this project sounds absolutely wonderful. Now, can they get through all the red tape and wrangling with communities affected by their plans?

Most recently, people here in Springhurst were able to view the current plans and offer their comments. Money always plays a major role in cases like these as principalities want to know who’ll be responsible for construction costs and then ongoing maintenance. Apparently, those negotiations are still underway.

Metro Parks says “the loop is approximately 25% complete” as of the time of this writing. If they can complete the circle, this innovative idea will be another positive move towards improving Louisville and our perception to the rest of the country.

As we approach spring cleaning time, maybe you have some extra stuff on hand. I should clarify what I mean by “stuff”; how about that old exercise apparatus that’s been gathering dust in the basement that I never wanted in the first place kind of stuff. You know what I mean.

If this sounds like a good idea, post information about your Yard Sale now! Just remember to register first.

Here is the latest from the Community Association President, Joe Tucker:

To All Springhurst Residents:
We have received the following information from our Neighborhood Security Services:

1. “The following Suspect is just across the Gene Snyder from Springhurst. Anyone seeing the following suspect should call 911 and report the sighting.

On 3/30/8, the suspect entered a home in the 3700 block of Chamberlain Court.
Please be on the look out for:
White male, early to mid twenties, tall approximately 6’, thin build wearing all black.
Suspect has black hair collar length.
Suspect was wearing glasses with clear rims.
He was believed to be carrying tools wrapped in a coat.
Both burglaries and sexual assaults occurred approximately 0200 to 0400 hours.
He also maybe driving a dark colored vehicle.
He may be hanging around the rear of 10629 Henning Way near the dumpster.”

2. You may have also received an email alert from your neighbors regarding a white Land Rover/SUV with a luggage rack on the roof occupied by at least one Hispanic male in the area of Lake Forest/Beckley Woods who may have been involved in burglaries or thefts from the auto.

We are pleased to report that LMPD advises that this subject was arrested on charges unrelated to any burglaries or thefts. Since his arrests, the thefts and burglaries that have the same Modus Operandi have stopped. The Range Rover was towed to the impound lot and is scheduled to be returned to the actual owner.

FINALLY, as a reminder, please forward this email to your neighbors and let them know to contact me if they wish to be added to the email list.

Thank you. -Joe Tucker, President, Springhurst Community Association
