For the second straight year, after hearing Louisville Metro Mayor Greg Fisher’s plea to citizens to clean snow from their sidewalks and the over 5,000 bus stops in the city, the Portland residents quickly came to the rescue. Director Robert Lanning gathered resident volunteers who spent hours going from one sidewalk and Transit Authority of River City (TARC) bus stop to another to do their part to clear away the several inches that fell on the city in late January. On subsequent days the men cleared more sidewalks and bus depots and ventured into more suburban areas to insure smooth public transit operations. “Every one of these men enthusiastically stepped to the plate to do their part by giving back to the community,” Lanning said.
