Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Jeffersontown public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Watterson Trail widening unfunded
A notarized affidavit from State Rep. John Hodgins confirmed the long-planned Watterson Trail widening (Project 5-518) is not funded and unlikely before 2033 — undercutting traffic-study assumptions the project relied on.
Public works staffing and failing garage
Public works has only seven crew members for 35 miles of annexed roads and can't keep up with sidewalks (a lawsuit risk) or drainage ditches. Their garage is literally rusting apart, and a replacement is in the improvement projects budget.
Moser Road right-lane expansion
The state is shutting down Moser Road starting around June 1 for a lane expansion that could take five years. The city has no control over the project, so residents with complaints should contact the state.
