It s been more than a year since Rundill Road at Iroquois Park was closed to vehicles, and three Louisville Metro Council members are ready for a reopening.
In a statement Wednesday night, the three council members – Cindi Fowler (D-14), Amy Holton Stewart (D-25) and Kevin Triplett (D-15) – urged Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer and the city s Parks and Recreation department to immediately allow cars back onto the roadway, which loops through the more than 700-acre park in south Louisville.
Rundill Road closed to vehicles in early April 2020, after the onset of the coronavirus pandemic, as part of an effort to maintain safety for the uptick in pedestrians who visited the park as other entertainment options around the city were forced to close. City officials have since said they re considering keeping the closure permanent, with an online survey and multiple virtual public meetings to gather feedback from the community.
