We have recently received inquiries about the Cherokee Park bridge, and wanted to update everyone on the project. When the contractor mobilized and began work, the structure was found to be too deteriorated to reuse the existing abutments so KYTC had to pivot to a full replacement. This triggered new hydraulic analysis, Geotechnical work and a new bridge design. Since the structure changed to a replacement instead of a renovation, KYTC also had to apply for an MSD permit because they have jurisdiction over Beargrass Creek. This permit was not needed for just the original superstructure replacement.
KYTC is working through all these new items. We anticipate that the contractor will be able to restart work around June 19th.
With even more wide-ranging things to see and do, this year’s official nine-day Juneteenth Jubilee Celebration showcases culture and entertainment from June 10-19. Many of the citywide events will be free and open to the public. For more information about the Juneteenth Jubilee Celebration, visit juneteenthlou.com.

It’s time again for the free, 4-week, citywide Anti Racism Challenge, sponsored by listenlearnact.org, Metro Lean Into Louisville, and the Earth and Spirit Center. It begins July 1st.
This is how it works -- each week during July, participants will receive an email with a list of 10-12 anti-racism activities. These range from reading an article, calling an elected official, making a donation, watching a film or viewing an exhibit by Black artists, patronizing a Black business, etc. We ask participants to choose and complete 3 of the listed activities. The purpose is to keep us all focused and active in challenging racism in our daily lives. This is a personal Challenge -- no one needs to report back to us. If participants are interested, they simply provide their email address (we never share anyone's information) and that puts them on the list to receive our ARC email each week. Here is the link to sign up: https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/su/gYgTGac/listenlearnact
The 5th division is gearing up for the National night out that will be held on August 1st from 5pm-8pm at The Peterson-Dumesnil House (301 S Peterson Ave). Join us for a family friendly event to promote crime, drug & violence prevention, and police-community partnerships. Enjoy food, drinks, prizes, giveaways, children’s activities, live music and more. This event is free and open to the public. No pre-registration required.
Anyone that has heard me speak knows, I will emphasize one tip above all others: LOCK YOUR DOORS! The single most common crime in the 5th Division is Theft from Vehicles. In the past 2 weeks, 15 of the 17 theft from vehicles involved an unlocked door. Thieves thrive on easy targets and an unlocked door is an invitation to theft. Locking your car doors drastically decreases the chance you will be victimized.
LOCK YOUR DOORS! LOCK YOUR DOORS! LOCK YOUR DOORS!
