Even in its early stages, there is major support for the project s completion.
Rena Tratchel, a resident of a neighborhood adjacent to Smith Drive, said the project would be greatly beneficial for both her and her son. The traffic right there at Louisville and Smith is always very hectic around 5 p.m. People drive way too fast over the hill. My son and I go out for walks frequently to the park, and people come over the hill sometimes at 45 mph, Tratchel said. It would be very difficult if my son accidentally ended up on street when riding his bike, he wouldn t have enough time to get out of the way.
However, officials say that the visuals of the station are not the only things being updated. Crews have worked to clean the facility “from top to bottom,” in addition to installing new lighting and setting up high-speed internet access connections, which residents will be able to connect to for free.
“City staff are also working to ensure all systems needed to operate the facility work properly to create a high quality, safe experience for all users,” Friday’s statement reads.
The City is currently in the process of selecting a management company to oversee the day-to-day operations of the facility once it reopens later this year.
