I was thrilled to honor The Dazzlers, the DuPont Manual High School Dance Team, at the March 13 Metro Council meeting. The Dazzlers have won numerous regional, state, and national championships over the past 8 years. District 6, and all of Louisville, is very proud of their accomplishments! |

Our office was recently pleased to join with District 15 Councilwoman Jennifer Chappell in providing funds for Trees Louisville to plant 75 trees along Meriwether Avenue. These trees will help transform the tree canopy coverage in the Meriwether-Fort Hill neighborhood. With that transformation comes benefits to the health and wellness of residents, incremental improvement to Louisville’s heat island problem, reduction of stormwater runoff, increased walkability and pedestrian safety, and more.
While I’m happy to do our part, and grateful for the invitation to be involved through Councilwoman Chappell’s B.O.B. program in Meriwether-Fort Hill, much more needs to be done. Simply put, Louisville isn’t keeping up with our peer cities when it comes to commitments to sustainability, urban forestry, and access to well-maintained green spaces and parks.
The Parks For All action plan resolution passed unanimously at a meeting of the Louisville Metro Council in December of 2022. The plan outlined spending benchmarks necessary for Louisville to try and eventually catch up to the funding our peer cities give to the parks department. Since that plan passed unanimously, none of our budgets have seen the increases necessary to meet these goals. This funding failure means that our parks have years and years of deferred maintenance, and not enough in their operational budget to fund staffing that keeps our parks clean and attractive, or the amenities open.
When our parks are in disrepair, people stay away. When the restrooms are dirty, damaged, or kept closed, families stay home or go elsewhere. Funding shortfalls in the parks department also means we don’t have resources or staff in our community centers. All of this adds up to a city that isn’t fulfilling one of its basic functions, and a community which has poorer physical and mental health. Because of Louisville’s history of redlining and segregation, because wealthy residents have access to non-public or out-of-town options for outdoor recreation, and because our public transportation system is also extremely underfunded, it’s the working class which is disproportionately harmed.
That’s not acceptable, which is why I have asked that Louisville’s Parks Department be funded at a level that brings us back in line with the Parks For All plan. Parks, like libraries and public transit, are necessary for a healthy and functional city, and I hope you’ll join me in fighting for the funding they require.
Solidarity,
Councilman JP Lyninger |
