Hello! My name is Jane. I'm a native Northern Kentuckian and just relocated from Florida after 25 years. I have a lot of moving boxes to unload, including wardrobe, art/TV, and lamp boxes. Please let me know if you would like any of them. I'd hate to see them go in the dumpster. I'll be at the tailgate this Sunday and look forward to meeting you! Best, Jane

Hey all! Would anyone be interested in a washer/dryer set? In great condition - used regularly for the past few years, and well-maintained. We're moving out of Apt 400 in early October, and will no longer need them at that time, so we'd love to give them to someone else in the complex who can use them! Please text 770-634-3605 for more information and to discuss price. thanks!

if anyone finds a wallet with the drivers license for Don Grome, please let me know. he is hoping to fly home to Seattle today.

Hi, I am missing a package that was delivered on July 3rd. There is a picture of it being delivered at the 240 door. Please let me know if you have seen it.

Good morning! I’m looking for a bi-weekly housecleaner. Would prefer someone who could come during the week. Thanks!

Parking Update: Vehicles parked in the Roebling Row lot or the alley without our pass will be towed. Newly designed passes are forthcoming. As a reminder, each licensed occupant on the lease will receive one parking pass only. If you rent a garage, carport, reserved space - you must park in that space without exception. If for some reason you can't park in your space, you will need to move to the street. Residents who do not rent parking must not park in any rentable spaces. Violations to the parking policies will result in immediate towing without warning, fines, and/or loss of parking privileges.

The metered parking in Covington is changing soon....see below.... Parking meters add evening, Saturday hours Changes protect on-street spots for small businesses COVINGTON, Ky. – Seeking to preserve on-street parking for the small businesses who need it to survive, the City of Covington will begin enforcing parking meters on evenings and Saturdays. The long-overdue change brings Covington in line with surrounding cities and is partly in response to complaints from business owners about spots being monopolized by drivers who leave their cars parked throughout the weekend and evening hours. “As downtown grows and becomes busier, we want to ensure that our businesses have parking for their customers and clients,” City Manager Ken Smith said. “These metered spots are designed for constant turnover. That’s their purpose. If a car is left in a spot every late afternoon or from Friday afternoon until Monday morning, that hurts surrounding businesses.” The change takes effect immediately, although there will be a grace period – i.e. “courtesy tickets” or warnings – as the public gets used to the new rules and the meters are recalibrated and relabeled. The City will be working with merchants near metered parking to find ways to educate their customers. The new hours are 8 a.m. to 9 p.m., Monday through Saturday. Previously the meters weren’t enforced on Saturdays and after 5 p.m. weekdays. The new enforcement was approved by the Board of Commissioners on Tuesday night as part of a raft of changes related to parking. Those changes include: Increases in metered rates from $1.10 to $1.50 an hour, matching the rate in other urban areas on this side of the Ohio River. Drivers will continue to be able to pay with cash at the meters or via the free PassportParking® app available for download at the App Store and Google Play. $5 increases in monthly passes at several public parking garages and surface lots (bringing most to $55 or $60 a month). Language “cleanup” in ordinances to continue refining the authority of the Covington Motor Vehicle Parking Authority and its status as legal “owner” and manager of parking assets. (The authority was created in 2018 to operate and maintain on-street and off-street public parking in Covington. Its five members are approved by the Board of Commissioners. The City contracts with ABM Parking Services for day-to-day operation.) Hiring of a first-ever executive director to handle administrative duties for the parking authority and help the City take a more strategic and analytical approach to its parking challenges. Kyle Snyder will split his duties between that position and duties as the City’s infrastructure development specialist. Other changes are possible down the road, including the return of parking meters to business areas like the MainStrasse Village, and better signage. The changes were recommended by consultants who undertook a comprehensive analysis of the City’s parking, by the parking authority itself, and by City staff working in areas like economic development and public works. The City is in the process of updating a webpage, HERE, to reflect the changes and show the locations of the public parking available in Covington. Investing in the future While small, the fee increases will enable the City to begin making more robust investments in upgrading its parking, Smith said. “We definitely need more parking garage space, and we need to upgrade amenities, such as kiosks,” he said. “But you can’t modernize or add facilities and options without revenue, and we’ve been falling behind.” The perceived lack of parking is an ongoing source of complaints in Covington. As in urban areas across the nation, however, some of the complaints are based on unrealistic expectations that parking should be free and always available right in front of a destination. For example, people who think nothing of walking from the far reaches of a mall parking lot are unwilling to walk the same distance from a garage or a lot to a restaurant or bar. “On-street parking is a commodity, clear and simple,” Smith said. “We have a lot of parking downtown, if you know where to look, but there will never be enough spots along a busy street to accommodate three to four cars per household, plus visitors, plus customers going in and out of stores.” The city manager called the parking changes “growing pains” as Covington’s economy continues to gain momentum. “If you have an abundance of parking downtown, that’s a sign of a ‘dead’ city,” he said.

Has anyone been experiencing issues with their newspaper delivery? I don’t know if it’s a delivery problem or if people are taking them. More often than not my Sunday newspaper is MIA.

Anyone looking for a fantastic cleaner, I live in the 240 building and the girl I use can clean on weekends only as she has a day job with a local company in their HR dept. Krissy 513-206-0578

Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday! Just a friendly reminder that tupperware, fruit containers, and other non biodegradable items are not compostable and should not be composted. :)

Super Happy with the composting program. Glad its being utilized for something rather than going off to the dump.

Kudos on the new composting program Jessica recently put in place. Easy to do and less garbage in the kitchen. I hope everyone gets on board!! Susan & Jim

Does anyone have a cleaner they'd like to recommend for your neighbors?
