The City of Rolling Fields recently formed a commission to look at ways to counteract the proposed changes to Louisville’s Land Development Code, if it’s approved by Metro Council.

“We’re going through a number of different strategies, everything from deed reform to lobbying the state to help protect our homeowners’ rights,” Tafel said.

Safety
Safety continues to be our top priority. Due to safety concerns from our recent survey, ten speed humps will be installed throughout the city in early April. These address vehicles driving over 20MPH and are designed to slow traffic.

In addition, police will be strictly enforcing our 20 MPH speed limit. Please take a moment to slow down, especially as more residents are walking, biking and enjoying the warmer weather. A small reduction in speed makes a big difference in safety for everyone.
