TIPS FOR A TROLLEY "FIRST-TIMER"

Here is what you need to know to ride the TROLLEY.

Find out when and where to catch the trolley:
Check out the Routes &
Schedules section of this Web site, or dial 585-1234, TTY 587-8255,

How to signal to the driver that you want to get off the trolley:
Pull the overhead cord or push the yellow strip between the windows a block
before your stop. TARC trolleyes do not stop traffic; never walk in front of
the trolley into the street. Wait until traffic has cleared before crossing the
street.

Lost and Found:
Call TARC's Lost and Found at 561-5157, 8 a.m. - 5 p.m. Monday through Friday,
or Saturdays 9 a.m. - 12 p.m. and we will attempt to locate your item.

If you live too far to walk to the trolley: - the amphitheater lot
Park 'n' TARC lots are located at many easily accessible places, like churches
and shopping centers. Drive your car to the lot, park it, and hop on board at
the trolley stop. For more information on Park 'n' TARC lots, call the TARC
Customer Service Center at 585-1234 or click here to view Park 'n' TARC locations
nearest you.

If you use a wheelchair or other mobility device:
All trolleyes are wheelchair accessible and can “kneel down” or lower the
steps, if you have difficulty stepping into the trolley.

The seats near the front of the trolley are reserved for older or disabled
passengers. The driver may ask riders to change seats to allow those in need to
have these seats. There are also areas in the front of the trolley where a
wheelchair can be secured. The driver will help you with this when boarding.

Be a safe and courteous rider:
Smoking, eating, drinking and carrying a weapon are prohibited on the trolley.
Use electronics with headphones only, loud noise is a distraction for the
driver. Clean up after yourself and use the trash receptacle at the front of
the trolley.

THE NEW CUT CORRIDOR NEIGHBORHOODS

New Cut Road at the Outer Loop was originally Beuta Road which ran from 7th Street to the Stoney
Ford Crossing.  In 1860, New Cut Road officially became the name of the road because people kept referring to it as the new road going through the cut.

Today, the 24,000 residents and countless businesses along the corridor find themselves
situated at the southern gateway to Louisville, bookended by 7,000 acres of parkland
and a northbound road leading to other attractions including U of L and Churchill Downs.

Mayor's  Healthy Hometown Fall Hike

Jefferson Memorial Forest

http://vp.telvue.com/preview?id=T01343&video=131927

Saturday,
October 20th , 10 am to 2:00 pm

Join Mayor Greg Fischer for a family-friendly fall exploration of Jefferson Memorial
Forest. This year, the event will be held near the Forest’s Environmental
Education Center and will offer a wider variety of activities that showcase all
that the Forest has to offer. Forest staff, and volunteers, will be on hand to
introduce visitors to our native plant gardens, and animal exhibits. There will
also be children’s activities at our new kids Nature Explore area. Climb the
52-ft Alpine Tower or take advantage of a canoeing demonstration on Mitchell
Hill Lake. There will be free pumpkins and pumpkin decorating, hay rides and
Shack in the Back BBQ will provide breakfast and lunch items available for
purchase. A portion of food sales go to benefit the Forest. So please come with
an appetite! Meets at HorThe Healthy Hometown Movement envisions a
community-wide culture where healthy eating and active living are the norm and
fosters an environment that promotes increased physical activity, better
nutrition, healthy public policy and access to needed resources.

 

History of the Forest

The Jefferson Memorial Forest stands as a living, woodland memorial to those Kentucky veterans who have served our nation in time of war. Today, the Jefferson Memorial Forest encompasses approximately 6,191 acres in southwest Jefferson County and portions of northern Bullitt County south of the Gene Snyder Freeway and between I-65 and Dixie Highway. The acreage protected as part of the forest has increased significantly since the preserve’s inception in the 1940s and the forest has undergone a number of important changes during that time

About Healthy Hometown

Led by the Louisville Metro Department of Public Health and Wellness (LMPHW),
Healthy Hometown unites diverse community partners from business, schools,
government, academia, neighborhood groups and non-profit organizations to
coordinate activities that will increase physical activity and healthy eating
to improve the health of Louisville Metro residents.

 We welcome your involvement! We’re always seeking new volunteers for our Schools,
Worksite ine Reservation. Event is FREE.

 The Jefferson Memorial Forest stands as a living, woodland memorial to those
Kentucky veterans who have served our nation in time of war. Today, the
Jefferson Memorial Forest encompasses approximately 6,218 acres in southwest
Jefferson County and portions of northern Bullitt County south of the Gene
Snyder Freeway and between I-65 and Dixie Highway. Hundreds of acres are being
added to the Forest, thanks to the Mayor's City of Parks initiative.

 

Here are a few hiking tips to make your trip more enjoyable:

Plan ahead and prepare: Know the type of terrain and possible weather
conditions you might encounter. Maps to the Forest are available at the Welcome
Center and online. Current weather conditions are available here. Carry water,
snacks, and a small first aid kit.

Let someone know where you are going and when you will return. Remember that the
Forest closes at dusk.

Stay on trails: Walk single file and avoid shortcuts. Walk through mud/puddles
to avoid widening the trail. Pay attention to trail junctures and know where
you are on your map.

Help keep your parks clean and safe: Please dispose of waste properly. Take a
zip locking plastic bag along to carry wrappers, cans, or other garbage to an
appropriate receptacle. Practice "negative trace" by picking up trash
left by others. Report trail or structure damage at the Welcome Center.

Leave nature in nature: Avoid moving rocks, picking plants, and disturbing
cultural/historical artifacts. Take pictures instead; it allows others to enjoy
the same experience you did. Email us your favorite photos, and we may include
them on this page.

Respect wildlife: Do not try to attract or approach wildlife. Never feed
animals human food as this disrupts their natural food cycle. Keep pets on a
leash. Guidebooks to common animals and plants of the Forest are available in
the Welcome Center. You can also download a guide to animal tracks and winter
tree identification or a checklist of wildflowers, plants, and trees of
Mitchell Hill Lake.

Be considerate of other visitors: Keep voices/noises from getting intrusively
loud. Obey any posted trail rules including rights of way.
