Save The Date! - District 16 Town Hall Meeting
Date: Monday, September 9, 2024
Time 7:00 pm
Place: Historic Locust Grove Pavilion located at 561 Blankenbaker Lane
Councilman Reed is bringing Louisville Metro Government to you.
Please join him and his invited guests which include Anchorage Middletown Fire & EMS, LMPD 5th and 8 Divisions, Louisville Metro Planning and Design, Louisville Metro Public Works Department, Louisville Metro Parks Department, MSD, Louisville Water Company, and LG & E.
We hope to see you September 9th!
School is back in session which has brought increased traffic surrounding our schools during drop off and pickup. Please help us keep a safe environment around our schools by observing school zone speed limits and driving cautiously. We need to stay alert not just around schools, but also for school buses on the road throughout town. By allowing a bit of extra time for your commute and practicing patience, we can all help keep everyone safer as we adjust to the increased traffic.
Theft from vehicles and auto thefts continue to be an issue throughout our community. The officers and detectives of the 8th Division are working diligently to address these types of crime. We have seen a shift in the modus operandi of these incidents resulting in more forced entry into vehicles and the criminals being armed with firearms. With the risk of firearms being involved, if you observe thieves breaking into vehicles, please call 911 and do not intervene yourself.
Please utilize these prevention tips to reduce your chances of being victimized:
· REMOVE KEYS FROM INSIDE VEHICLES
· LOCK VEHICLE DOORS
· CLOSE GARAGES
· REMOVE GARAGE DOOR OPENERS FROM VEHICLES
· REMOVE ANY VALUABLES FROM INSIDE VEHICLES
We need your help to make our neighborhoods safer and less appealing to thieves. By locking vehicles and ensuring keys and garage door openers are not left inside them, we can all lower the chances of these thefts.
Below are pictures highlighting some of our recent community events. Please consider joining us at a future event to meet the officers who are serving your community.

Online survey available through September 30
As part of Vision Zero Louisville – the city’s transportation safety initiative that prioritizes the prevention of fatal and serious injury crashes – partners of the initiative, including Louisville Metro Public Works and the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, announced today that they are raising awareness about the relationship between speed, speeding and safety, as well as seeking public input on speeding and speed management in the community. Louisville residents are invited to share their experiences and opinions in a brief online survey, which is available through September 30, 2024.
The survey results – coupled with crash data, current local conditions, and a peer review of cities leading the way in terms of speed management and Vision Zero – will help shape Louisville’s first-ever Speed Management Plan. This plan is a multifaceted and balanced effort to manage speeds on non-interstate streets through roadway design, intersection design, modernizing policies and practices related to speed limits, and enforcement.
“The effects of speeding are deadly, and drivers on Louisville’s High Injury Network, where a majority of fatal and serious injury crashes occur, should be especially aware of their speed,” said Lt. Craig Browning, commander of LMPD’s Traffic Unit. “This Speed Management Plan is the right thing to do, and this community-informed effort will help us look at feasible and effective solutions to address speeding as we work toward our vision of zero roadway deaths by 2050.”
Vision Zero Louisville’s speeding survey coincides with a media blitz by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), as part the agency’s year-round Speeding Catches Up With You campaign focused on speed prevention on our nation’s roads. Studies show higher speeds result in greater impact at the time of a crash, which leads to more severe injuries and deaths. NHTSA reports speeding contributes to more than 25% of all traffic-related deaths nationwide.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: In 2022, Louisville Metro Council passed an ordinance calling for zero roadway deaths by 2050 through the Vision Zero Louisville transportation safety initiative. The initiative is managed by Louisville Metro Public Works, in partnership with the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, which in July reminded Kentuckians to slow down this summer through its “Not So Fast, KY” speed enforcement campaign. Vision Zero Louisville promotes a multi-layered approach to saving lives, including redesigning roadways to encourage appropriate speeds and improving trauma-related care for crash victims.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (August 20, 2024) – The Louisville Zoo has welcomed a 1 ½-month-old infant male western lowland gorilla named Abeo (ah-bay-OH) to our award-winning Gorilla Forest habitat. His name means “bringer of happiness” in Yoruba, a language spoken in West Africa. Born on June 28 at the Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle, Washington., the infant is the offspring of Akenji, a first-time mom. When Akenji was unable to bond with her infant and when training another foster didn’t progress fast enough, Woodland Park officials moved into quick action to find suitable care for the infant gorilla.
Woodland Park Zoo collaborated with the Gorilla Species Survival Plan (SSP) to secure a new home. The SSP, a cooperative breeding program managed by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) aims to ensure a healthy, self-sustaining population of gorillas. The program maintains a list of potential foster gorillas across the country.
The Louisville Zoo’s 40-year-old female gorilla, Kweli, was selected to be the baby’s foster mom due to her success with Kindi – our now 8-year-old, sub-adult female gorilla. Kindi was orphaned after her mother, Mia Mojo, died the day after giving birth.
“While we always hope for a natural mother-infant bond, circumstances sometimes require alternative solutions for the well-being of the gorilla,” said Louisville Zoo Director Dan Maloney. “Our Gorilla Forest care team’s successful work with Kindi and Kweli stands as a testament to their expertise. Kweli is a dedicated mother, and Kindi is thriving in her family group, showing all the proper, healthy gorilla behaviors. I look forward to seeing this young gorilla flourish with his new family.”
The Gorilla Forest keeper team will provide round-the-clock care for the infant, including feeding, socializing, and using behavioral cues, including vocalizations like those of a gorilla mother. This approach will mirror the successful process implemented with Kindi in 2016. The team will work to ensure that the infant can navigate the habitat and respond to training cues, including coming to the habitat mesh on request to receive a bottle. Initially, interactions with the adult gorillas will occur through a mesh panel, known as a “howdy door,” to facilitate gradual introductions. Once these key milestones are met, the infant will have closely monitored bonding sessions with Kweli, his foster mother, before being integrated into the existing gorilla troop. This troop includes silverback Casey (42 years old), adult females Paki (35 years old), Kweli (40 years old), young female Kindi (8 years old) and recently added Patty (11 years old). The group will rotate with bachelor gorillas Bengati, Jelani, Cecil, and Kicho.
The infant gorilla’s highly anticipated public debut in the Gorilla Forest will occur after he has been successfully introduced to his new home and introduced to Kweli. The Zoo will provide updates on his progress through a dedicated blog at louisvillezoo.org/gorillafoster and via its social media channels.
Guests can also “adopt” Abeo through a special ADOPTS package which includes a plush gorilla, an adoption certificate, an animal fact sheet, a Zoo magnet, the adopter’s name listed on the Zoo’s website, a Fahlo bracelet that tracks gorillas in the wild and two admission passes to visit to the Louisville Zoo — all for $99. Visit louisvillezoo.org/adopts for more information and to purchase.
Gorilla Conservation Status
Only found in the dense forests of west central Africa, gorillas are critically endangered and could face extinction if stronger efforts are not mounted to protect them. The primary threats to their survival are illegal poaching, civil unrest, disease, and habitat destruction due to extractive industries such as mining.
Zoo Hours
The Zoo is open daily year-round. Summer hours are 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. (stay until 6 p.m.) through Sept. 22, 2024. The Zoo will close early on Saturday, August 24 (10 a.m. – 2 p.m., exit by 3 p.m.) for Brew at the Zoo with Wine and Food, Too! The Zoo is open year-round except on Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s Day. Visit louisvillezoo.org for more information.
