Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Jeffersontown public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Collapsed drainage pipe flooding two homes
Public Works needs legal clearance to remove a fence built over an easement pipe that has collapsed and flooded two neighboring houses; the work is a priority.
T-Mobile fiber contractor damage and oversight
A resident reported cracked brickwork, a cut AT&T line, a ruptured gas line, and blocked mailboxes from T-Mobile's fiber installation crews. Public Works responds by holding permits block-by-block and refusing new permits until damage is fixed. Spectrum fiber work is expected in the area within months.
Splash Park Water Bill Mystery
The splash park's water bills spiked, but no leak is showing at the meter. Staff thinks an old $60,000 bill credit expired, and will monitor usage over the next year.
Stormwater drainage and flooding on Bluebird Lane and Grand Avenue
Public Works reported Grand Avenue has flooded repeatedly this year and stormwater models date to 2001. The developer proposed 50% extra detention and swale improvements, but residents downhill worried about runoff and aging sewer pipes.
Flooding and Stormwater Along Chenoweth Run
Residents say what used to be rare floods now hit several times a year, blaming upstream development and MSD's practice of letting developers pay fees instead of building on-site retention. City officials say J-Town mandates detention for its own projects but has no control over the Corps of Engineers floodplain or Metro's fee-in-lieu practice.
