The Dodge Gap segment will begin at Jefferson Memorial Forest property on Blevins Gap Road and extend northward through the Forest to Gene Snyder Freeway, according to Metro Parks.



"The Pond Creek segment begins at Jefferson Memorial Forest property at Gene Snyder Freeway and extend eastward parallel to the Freeway to Stonestreet Road, and then eastward along Pond Station Road to Pond Creek to connect with the existing Loop segment next to the Lamborne Boulevard neighborhood, according to Metro Parks.



Homeowner, Daniel Hoover, built his family's home on Medora Road in 2003. "We brought private property to get away from people," Hoover said.



One route proposed by Metro Parks has the trail running down Medora Road, from start to finish, paved at least 20 feet off of the existing pavement.



"You feel like you're being invaded if someone is coming in and telling you this is what we're going to do," Hoover said. "The asphalt trails could measure up to 12 feet wide, that isn't much further from my front door."



Neighbors fear the trail will eventually become a popular spot for the wrong crowd, which could invite more crime to a community that is already facing some of its' worst days.



Metro Parks spoke about the Louisville Loop in a public forum Tuesday evening, reassuring neighbors that the plans are in the earliest of stages.



"We want to remind folks that this is just the start of the process and a lot of the decisions will be based on what we hear tonight," Metro Parks Jon Reiter said.



One by one, neighbors voiced concerns and were given the opportunity to speak with project leaders about their specific property. Comments can be filed via email to parks@louisvilleky.gov.



The city said it will compensate homeowners if the final plans cut through their yards, however Hoover said that isn't an option.
