Pace Contracting (applicant Thomas Solinger) is on an MSD emergency job to repair a collapsed sewer and ruptured laterals on Wolfe Avenue at 1211 Wolfe Ave, requiring excavation in the roadway near 1211β1214 Wolfe Ave. The work affects the John B. and Donna M. Schweri property, may close the road between Preston Highway and Fayette Ave from about May 11, 2026 until early June (scheduled to finish between June 1 and June 8), and crews will backfill the cavity with rock and subbase and pave the cut when repairs are complete.
BJB Restoration (BJB Architectural Metals Services Inc.) will perform a clock tower masonry inspection at 433 South 5th Street for the Roman Catholic Bishop of Louisville. From June 6β13, 2026 a crane will be parked in South 5th Street between West Muhammad Ali Boulevard and West Liberty Street, blocking the east sidewalk and the road while crews boom over the sidewalk to access the tower; BJB says there will be no digging and theyβll be responsible for any sidewalk repairs. The record also notes the building has individual landmark status, so written Urban Design approval is required β this looks like a careful, permitted one-off inspection.
Johnson Electrical and Construction LLC, working for owner OREO 4 LLC, pulled an electrical permit to set up a temporary 100 Amp service for the new Wawa at 13905 Promenade Green Way, with the job estimated at $5,000. The permit is issued, but the record flags that no final Certificate of Occupancy will be granted until a Landscape Certificate is received, and it asks that the fire-department final inspection be scheduled with Captain James Hundley (AMFEMS) at 502-813-4807 when the site is ready.
