7709 Preston Hwy encroachment permit denied for ALPR camera installation

Flock Safety applied to install a solar-powered ALPR camera on a 12-foot pole at 7709 Preston Hwy (property owned by Nance Realty Co.), proposing to dig a 2' x 2' hole, park a work van off-street, and restore the grass afterward between Bates Ave and Outer Loop for Louisville Metro PD. The encroachment permit was denied, and the record notes a discrepancy — the application said the sidewalk wouldn’t be impacted but sidewalk-closed signs were observed on site.
