CycLOUvia. The Louisville Metro Department of Transportation is hosting CycLOUvia on Bardstown Road on Sunday, Oct. 18, from 2 to 6 p.m., from Grinstead Drive to Douglass Loop.

A brand unveiling near Carmichael's Bookstore on Longest Avenue is listed for 2:30 p.m.

The project is largely federally funded, including a $15.6 million RAISE grant, with a total cost near $25 million.
