The proposed eastern and southern borders for District 20 have been adjusted in an effort to address some of the comments received through the public comment period. As a result, persons living in precinct D137 (south of So. Watterson Trail) as well as the portions of D140 and D120 will now be part of District 20). District 20 will also retain precinct V109 which had been designated to another district in the previous draft. On the northeastern side of the district, precincts V121, the majority of precinct V111 and the portion of precinct V104 south of Shelbyville Road will be in District 11 (Councilman Kevin Kramer). These changes will place neighborhoods such as Copperfield within a single district rather than being split into two as has been the case for the past decade. These changes should also help to prevent the massive changes to some of our Eastern Districts that we have seen over the past two redistricting processes.
Why redistricting:
Redistricting is required by State and Federal Law every decade following the publishing of new Census data. The purpose of redistricting is to update the borders for various districts to ensure that people have near equal populations. In addition to equalizing population, additional goals such as improving compactness, recognizing neighborhoods and suburban city boundaries, and maximizing the powers of minority groups within the population are also taken into consideration during the redistricting process.
What the Census told us about District 20:
District 20 grew at a faster pace than all but 1 district (District 19). Gaining 5,000 persons in population, the district needed to see a significant reduction in its geographic size to get back down the acceptable population of 30,000. Just as occurred in 2010, District 20 lost a few precincts along its western borders to District 22 (Councilman Engel) and its northern border to District 11 (Councilman Kramer).
How District 20 was formed:
As more people have moved into the area, the boarders for District 20 have moved away from Bardstown Road (in the West) and Shelbyville Road (Northeast). Our District will center more in Jeffersontown and in the areas south of Taylorsville Road and east of Billtown Road. We will continue to be the largest district in Louisville Metro, but will likely be about 60% the geographic size that it was when the original maps were proposed in 2002.
To maintain the identity of the district, we sought to keep as much of the current district within the new boundaries as possible. Looking at growth trends we decided that the district would continue to move away from Bardstown Road and Shelbyville Road and instead focus more on Jeffersontown and the further and more rural parts of southeastern Jefferson County.
The district will continue to have a large portion of the Parklands, Charlie Vettiner Park and Fisherman’s Park and will gain even more of the suburban city of Jeffersontown. We look for District 20 to continue to be one of the fastest growing districts in Louisville Metro and expect that its borders will continue to recede when the next Census (2030) is conducted.
Closing
Thank you for taking the time to learn more about the redistricting process. I hope that this has helped to explain the process as well as the reasoning used to create the new District 20.
The final vote on redistricting is expected to occur on Thursday, November 11, 2021 with upcoming elections, using the newly drawn lines, being 2022. If you have any questions about redistricting, please know that I am happy to answer them. Please either call 574-1120 or email me at stuart.benson@louisvilleky.gov.
Sincerely,
Stuart Benson
Councilman, District 20

Expansion work overhead at the I-265 interchange moves forward
Shelbyville Road traffic returned to its original configuration near the I-265 interchange today. Bridge pier construction for the I-Move Kentucky project required traffic to be shifted for nearly three months to accommodate expansion work.
The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet is expanding this important segment of I-265 over Shelbyville Road from four to six lanes to improve safety and relieve congestion. Widening of I-265 between KY 155 (Taylorsville Road) and I-71 was identified as Kentucky’s top transportation priority by the Strategic Highway Investment Formula for Tomorrow (SHIFT) initiative developed by KYTC and included in the 2018 Highway Plan approved by the Kentucky General Assembly.
“Thank you to the public for their patience while we constructed bridge piers at this vital interchange,” said KYTC project manager Chris Slone. “This short-term inconvenience allowed us to make much-needed improvements to the roadway that will benefit motorists for years to come.”
Structural work continues on the bridge over Shelbyville Road leading up to beam installation, surfacing and the eventual use of the expanded roadway. That work may require short-term traffic impacts to be announced at a later date.
I-Move Kentucky is the state’s innovative approach to improving the safety, ease of travel and quality of life for travelers and businesses that frequently use I-265, I-71 and I-64. Using a four-projects-in-one approach, the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet will be able to address some of its highest-priority transportation needs.

This week the Louisville Metro Council’s Ad Hoc Committee on Redistricting unveiled the group’s draft Metro Council districts. The need to redistrict is required every ten years with the release of new Census Data. The Census Data released in late August showed that Jefferson County’s population grew from 741,096 in 2010 to 782,969 in 2020. This growth of approximately 41,000 persons along with the continued shift of people moving into our district and neighboring eastern districts, causes the need to adjust the borders of our 26 Metro Council Districts to ensure that all persons are given fair representation in their local government.
Prior to receiving the numbers from the 2020 Census, members of the Minority Caucus established goals for redistricting. Our goals were to 1) establish districts that kept within 5% population of each other 2) Support efforts to maximize minority representation on the Metro Council, 3) construct districts that were as compact as possible, 4) construct districts based on shared/similar communities and neighborhoods, 5) use natural landmarks and major roads as much as possible to construct succinct districts that are easy for people to understand and 6) try to keep as many people within their districts as is possible.
In the final week of September, the detailed data from the 2020 Census was released. Two weeks later, members of the Minority Caucus were given the precincts that Democrats on the Council would not be using, and then we began the process of creating our districts.
Proposed Maps
The proposed redistricting maps will be available on the Metro Council’s website:
https://louisvilleky.gov/metro-council/document/proposed-redistricting-maps-all-26-overall
District 20 will maintain its character as the largest and most rural of districts. With a population of 28, 928, the district will start as one of the smaller districts, in terms of population, but continued development in the district will once again see this district growing at a pace far faster than most. The district Boundaries are made up of Shelbyville Road to the north, Shelby and Spencer Counties to the East and Billtown Road to the west. District 20 includes the southern portion of Jeffersontown as well as large portions of unincorporated southeastern Jefferson County. District 20 is host to the majority of the parks within the 21st Century Parks including Beckley Creek, Pope Lick and the Strand. The district is also home to Charlie Vettiner and Fischerman’s Parks.
Now that maps for all 26 Metro Council Districts are drafted, the next steps will be to file an ordinance to codify these maps, which will be done next week. In addition, the Metro Council is giving people the opportunity to comment on these maps through a few different avenues. The Ad Hoc Committee on Redistricting will host a meeting with public comment on Wednesday, October 27 at 5 p.m. If you would like to speak at this meeting please use this link to sign up https://louisvilleky.wufoo.com/forms/zxo94sn097k7jt/.
Persons can also share their comments using the following form provided at this link, https://louisvilleky.wufoo.com/forms/zc8357e1l1bt0t/. All comments will be made part of the public record and will be shared with the members of the Louisville Metro Council.
Because of the late release of Census Data as well as earlier than normal deadlines for candidates filing for office, the Metro Council will need to pass the final redistricting maps by the end of November. I thank you for your interest in this topic and welcome you to contact my office at 574-1120 or e-mail me at stuart.benson@louisvilleky.gov if you have any questions related to this or any other Metro Council business.
 As mentioned in our June 25th District 20 eNewsletter improvements are underway at Charlie Vettiner Park.

NOVEMBER 2021
Holiday shopping days are fast approaching, as is the time to increase our awareness of crime. Everyone is
looking for a bargain. The criminals are no exception. The easier you make it for the criminals, the better they
like it.
When parking vehicles, remove all visible temptations (cell phones, laptops, purses, checkbooks, sunglasses,
packages in bags, wrapped packages, etc.). Put these items in the trunk or in the house when parked at home.
When shopping, place packages in the trunk of your vehicle. If you own a vehicle without a trunk, take a dark
blanket with you to cover the items. Park your vehicle as close as possible to the store. Park under lights. If you
feel uncomfortable about leaving a store / mall alone, ask security / store associate to walk with you to your car.
When using an ATM, look around to see if anyone is watching you withdraw money. When paying with cash /
dealing with cash – stash it! Don’t flash It!
If you expect a delivery, be mindful of the delivery time, if you are not going to be home, ask your neighbor
or friend to watch for it.
Be very careful when using your credit cards. Make sure to secure your receipts so the numbers cannot be used
by unauthorized people to order items online or over the phone. When destroying these credit card receipts, be
sure to either cut them up or shred them. Beware of using your credit cards over the phone or internet, make sure
the website you are on is legit.
Have a happy and safe Holiday Season!

Popular promotion credited with increase in large dog adoptions was set to end on October 31st and will now be available to approved adopters of large dogs through November 30th
LOUISVILLE, KY (October 31, 2021) – Louisville Metro Animal Services (LMAS) reaches its goal of 100 large dog adoptions during Adopt-A-Shelter-Dog-Month in October and extends its free dog crate giveaway for large dog adoptions through Tuesday, Nov. 30th. The promotion is sponsored by the non-profit organization, the Friends of Metro Animal Services (FOMAS), and had been set to expire Oct. 31st.
“We are very happy with the increased interest in large dog adoptions as a result of this adoption promotion. Great pets come in all sizes,” said Ashley Book, LMAS interim shelter director. “Thanks to the support of the Friends of Metro Animal Services and the Pay It Forward Free Adoptions Program, more potential adopters are choosing to welcome a larger dog into their home while saving hundreds of dollars in adoption fees.”
FOMAS, a non-profit organization and the official fundraising partner of LMAS, initially paid for 100 crates to be gifted to new adopted large dogs, to raise awareness and interest in adopting large dogs that make up the majority population of homeless dogs in the LMAS shelter. The dog crate giveaway also aimed to minimize the chances of a newly adopted pet being returned to the shelter in the weeks after its adoption. The large and extra-large size crates can be expensive, ranging from $70 to $120.
“We want to make sure when a family welcomes a shelter pet into their home, they are set up for success so that pet doesn’t get returned to the shelter,” said Cathy Zion, FOMAS Board Chairperson. “Dog crates are great for the adjustment period and beyond, and signals to a new pet that they’ll always have space that’s their own.”
In addition to funding the dog crate giveaway, FOMAS also supports the Pay It Forward Free Adoptions (PIF) Program through fundraisers and public donations. The PIF Program allows LMAS to waive adoption fees for adult dogs, 40lbs. or more.
“Most adopters are looking for popular small breeds and puppies, and so they often overlook large breed dogs. Many times, families are not completely opposed to adopting a large breed, they just had never considered giving one a home,” said Teeya Barnes, LMAS public information specialist. “The PIF program gives our adoption coordinators an opportunity to share with potential adopters, the plight of large breed dogs in local animal shelters. Waiving the adoption fee and including a free dog crate is great incentive for considering welcoming a large breed dog into the family.”
The first few days in a new home can be stressful for a rescue dog, who must adjust to new people, a new environment, and a new routine. Gifting dog crates to newly adopted pets provides a place to retreat, where they will feel safe. Additional benefits of dog crates include being a great tool for house-training a puppy or new pet, a place to relax, sleep or nap; and can keep dogs out of mischief, when left unsupervised. Crates are also perfect for travel and trips to the veterinarian office.
Adopters of large breed dogs, 40lbs. or more, will not pay an adoption fee, thanks to FOMAS and the PIF Program although donations are greatly appreciated. Spay-Neuter, microchip, and vaccinations are included. The dog crate giveaway ends Nov. 30th.
LMAS’ Animal House Adoption Center is located at 3516 Newburg Road. Walk-ins are welcome from 12-6pm daily. Adoption fees are waived but there is still a review and approval process. Jefferson County residents must also purchase a one-year, renewable pet license - a requirement of the Louisville Animal Ordinance.
For more information about PIF adoptions and LMAS’ other adoption programs, and to view adoptable pets or complete an adoption application, visit louisvilleky.gov/animalservices. For more information about FOMAS or to make a donation to the PIF program, visit fomaslou.org.
About LMAS: Louisville Metro Animal Services operates the city’s only open intake shelter, that for the fourth consecutive year, has not euthanized any pets for lack of time or space. The Harshaw Family Foundation Animal Shelter opened in 2020, creating one campus for all metro animal-related services. In addition to animal control, licensing and microchipping, LMAS offers free adoptions for certain shelter pets through the Pay It Forward Program, that is supported by the non-profit Friends of Metro Animal Services and public donations.
About FOMAS: Formed in 2009 as the 501(c)(3) non-profit fundraising entity for Louisville Metro Animal Services. FOMAS encourages individual, business and corporate donations to support LMAS’ Pay It Forward Free Adoptions Program as well as programs and services critical to the care of incoming stray animals.
