The Elizabethtown City Council met for a work session Monday.
City Administrator Ed Poppe discussed an ordinance that will be introduced to restrict parking on Skyline Drive in the Glendale Hill neighborhood. Poppe said a citizen contacted the city with concerns and the city’s Planning and Development Department reviewed the request.
“They looked at that area, looked at pavement widths, looked at accidents, and the recommendation was that yeah, we need to restrict on-street parking along that roadway because of various factors,” said Poppe.
Poppe said looking at that request led to a review of other needs in the neighborhood including adding a crosswalk near the Wesley Hilltop House to accommodate its parking lots and widening Miller Street along property recently donated by the city to Habitat for Humanity.
The Elizabethtown City Council will next meet for a regular session on March 18.
The Radcliff City Council also met for a work session Monday. The council discussed an ordinance concerning the certification and regulation of recovery residences that comes on the heels of similar ordinances passing in Elizabethtown and going up for approval from the Hardin County Fiscal Court. Radcliff Mayor J.J. Duvall said it is important for area entities to take a unified approach.
“We believe, in partnership with Vine Grove and Radcliff, that since Elizabethtown has passed this ordinance and they begin to work towards enforcement, we feel that it’s important that both of our communities have this put in place, same as Elizabethtown” Duvall said. “That way all of us are on the same page, and you don’t see them skipping from city to city trying to bypass these regulations.”
The ordinance will go up for its first reading at the next regular city council meeting, which will be held March 19.
