This item concerns the closure of approximately 220 linear feet of public right-of-way along Shipley Lane, encompassing an area of approximately 8,684 square feet. The closure is requested by Louisville Gas & Electric (LG&E) and is adjacent to their power plant in southwestern Jefferson County, near Dixie Highway. The Planning Commission voted 8-0 to recommend approval of the closure on January 16, 2025. This closure is proposed with the understanding that LG&E is open to an easement for a multi-use path, such as the Louisville Loop, if Metro pays for fence relocation. All other affected agencies have agreed or not commented on the closure. The staff report found that adequate public facilities are available and that the closure aligns with the comprehensive plan's goals for mobility and land use.
