Residents packed the Louisville City Council chambers and an overflow room Tuesday to speak for and against plans to build a new hospital and make other improvements to a piece of land on the north side of U.S. 36 near Monarch High School known as Redtail Ridge.

That low turnout is leading to tight races between candidates. Already, the city is poised for a mayoral runoff in June, but there might also be a runoff election for the City Council's 9th and 10th districts too, in which no candidate holds a clear majority.
