Louisville, Ky. - Expect heavy traffic on Floyd Street Nov. 11 and 12 from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. due to the city's first H1N1 flu vaccination clinic. See a map of the area at http://louisville.edu/update/flu/h1n1/h1n1-vaccine-map2.pdf. The area should be avoided entirely, if possible. Also, bear in mind that:
1. Floyd Street traffic will be limited to one way - southbound only - from Central Avenue to Crittenden Drive.
2. Those who park in Green Lot A (south of Central Avenue) will need to use the "tunnel" under Central Avenue to exit.
To learn more about the event or find out if you should get the vaccine, go to http://www.louisvilleky.gov/Health/News/H1N1PressRelease.htm
Also, volunteers are desperately needed to help out at the event. This is a great community service opportunity for individuals or groups. Volunteers will assist in areas such as distributing consent forms, directing patients and providing general support. No medical experience is necessary.

Traffic anywhere NEAR that area will no doubt be a NIGHTMARE. Hope there's nothing going on at the Fairgrounds on those dates. Please remember, the traffic patterns have already been tremendously impacted by the closure of Eastern Parkway and the X-way reconstruction.

Oh boy - learned from your newscast this morning that the bid Livestock Expo is currently going on at Fairgrounds - along with first evening of Rodeo on THURS. --I know they used the seasonal flu vaccine at Papa John's in 2006 to test the city's ability to vaccinate a lot of people in a brief period. BUT, because of traffic patterns & conflicts, this should have been split into a number of smaller clinics evenly spaced throughout Jeff. Co.
