April is Distracted Driving Awareness Month

April is Distracted Driving Awareness Month

April is Distracted Driving Awareness Month. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), in 2022, over 3,000 people were killed in the U.S. by distracted driving.

Distracted driving is any activity that diverts attention from driving, including talking or texting on your phone, eating and drinking, talking to people in your vehicle, fiddling with the stereo, entertainment or navigation system — anything that takes your attention away from the task of safe driving.

Texting while driving is illegal in 49 states, including Kentucky. Handheld phone use is prohibited while driving in 30 states.



Save Birds by Choosing to Go Lights Out This Spring!

Save Birds by Choosing to Go Lights Out This Spring!

You might know that millions of birds migrate over Louisville every spring and fall. But did you also know that billions of migrating birds are hurt or killed each year in the U.S.—and it’s due to artificial light at night pulling them off course or causing them to fly into windows and buildings? 

With your help, Lights Out Louisville—a Louisville Audubon Society conservation initiative—aims to change that. 

The solution is simple, and anyone can be a part of it: 

—This April and May, between 11 p.m. and 6 a.m., turn off non-essential lights—both indoors and outside—and close your blinds, shades, and curtains. 

—By reducing artificial nighttime light during the two biggest migration months in our area, we give migrating birds a better chance of surviving their long journeys. 

—With a few simple actions, you’ll help save birds—and save money on your electricity bill at the same time! 

Visit www.lightsoutlouisville.org to learn how going Lights Out is good for birds as well as people, and how you can be a part of the solution. 

If you decide to go Lights Out, you can help Louisville Audubon track the program’s impact across our city by filling out a short pledge form as a resident/homeowner, or on behalf of your business or a commercial facility you own/operate. You can find both pledge forms on the Lights Out Louisville homepage at the address above. Business and commercial supporters will be promoted on the Lights Out Louisville website and on social media.

The Louisville Audubon Society thanks you for making the choice to go Lights Out!

Beargrass Creek Clean Sweep 2025

Beargrass Creek Clean Sweep 2025

Kentucky Waterways Alliance and our partners Louisville Metro Sewer District (MSD), Olmsted Parks Conservancy, Ohio River Valley Water Sanitation Commission, Louisville Metro District 9 Councilman Andrew Owen, Louisville Metro District 8 Councilman Ben-Reno Webber, and Brightside will host a cleanup to address litter in areas surrounding Beargrass Creek, specifically in Cherokee Park and the Beargrass Greenway. Located in the Salt River Basin, Beargrass Creek serves as a tributary to the Ohio River and spans across Jefferson County at Kentucky’s north central border. Beargrass Creek Watershed serves as the primary drainage basin for Louisville and Jefferson County, covering more than 60 square miles among its three forks: muddy fork, middle fork, and south fork. This primarily urban creek flows through neighborhoods and local parks such as Joe Creason Park and Cherokee Park, providing important opportunities for water-based recreation and environmental education. Beargrass Creek flows in primarily through Louisville, Kentucky, located within Jefferson County. Louisville is home to more than 622,000 people as well as fascinating outdoor-based tourism attractions such as the Louisville Mega Cavern, the Louisville Zoo, the Beargrass Creek Nature Preserve, and the Olmsted Parks system. The Kentucky Waterways Alliance is thrilled to partner with organizations and communities striving to protect their waterways while promoting community engagement. We hope to see you on April 19th, as we clean up Cherokee Park and the surrounding areas of Beargrass Creek.

Date: Saturday April 19th, 2025

Location: Beargrass Greenway & Cherokee Park. Parking lot at Lexington and Ledge Road.

Timeline Check-in: 8:30-9:00 am; Welcome and Safety Instructions: 9:15 am; Cleanup ends: 12:00 pm

Louisville, Ky – On Saturday, April 19th, Louisville’s only Easter Parade returns to The Avenue! Dust off your bunny ears, fluff up those bunny tails, and join us for this free, family-friendly candy-filled event in the historic Crescent Hill and Clifton neighborhoods.

This year’s Parade Grand Marshal, Bill Hollander, former 9th District Metro Councilmember, will kick things off at around 11:30 a.m. in front of St. Mark’s Episcopal Church at 2822 Frankfort Avenue. Hundreds will make their way down the historic thoroughfare, finishing at the corner of Frankfort Avenue and Pope Street.

Join us for Louisville’s most unique, colorful, and fun-filled Easter/Spring candy-throwing event in the city!

Parade entries include the Classic Volkswagen Club of Louisville, the Hot Sauce Brass Band, Waterfront Botanical Gardens, River City Turners Gymnastics, The Shriners, Mexico Lindo, local churches, Professional Mermaids, and many more—all led by our most egg-citing VIP, the one and only Easter Bunny!

This parade isn’t just for spectators; it’s for YOU! Bring your family, rally your friends, and even dress up your pup for an unforgettable experience! Deck out your Radio Flyer wagon, big wheel, or car in the most spectacular way possible! The sky's the limit when it comes to showing off your festive flair. And here’s the best part—the judges will be on the lookout for the most egg-ceptional entries, awarding the coveted “Good Ears” prizes to the most creative floats and participants. So, let your imagination run wild! Speaking of hopping, the parade will debut Louisville's longest Bunny Hop this year. Everyone can hop in line at The Irish Rover at the end of the parade as we attempt to create the longest Bunny Hop ever experienced in Louisville.

The Frankfort Avenue Easter Parade has been a unique part of what makes our vibrant community so great over the past 30 years.

As part of the next phase in the TARC 2025 network redesign, TARC has released draft proposals for a new transit network at different price points, offering both short- and long-term options for the community to consider.

This marks the beginning of a two-month public engagement period, running through April 30, during which community input will play a vital role in shaping the final plan.

The Office of Planning’s Library Hours (Zoning Matters: Conversations with a City Planner) return in 2025! City Planners from Louisville Metro’s Office of Planning will be available to answer questions about zoning (What is zoning? Why does it matter?) and discuss the ongoing LDC Reform project, including changes to increase housing opportunities throughout the city.

NEXT MEETING: Northeast Regional   

Tuesday, April 15

These conversations are part of the ongoing Land Development Code (LDC) Reform. The LDC Reform is an equity focused approach to revise the LDC consistently with Plan 2040 to allow for increased housing choices and opportunities in new and existing neighborhoods, to create procedures and regulations that are easier to use and increase the quality of life by reducing the concentration of environmental hazards near housing.

PROPOSED CHANGES TO THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE FOR HOMELESS AND CRISIS SHELTERS (24-LDC-0001)

The Louisville Metro Office of Planning published proposed changes to the Land Development Code (LDC) for Homeless and Crisis Shelters as directed by Resolution No. 019, Series 2024 on March 25, 2025. This resolution requested that the Planning Commission (Office of Planning) review the Metro LDC regulations concerning Homeless Shelters and Crisis Shelters and consider changes to “permit more Homeless Shelters with Standards instead of requiring a Conditional Use Permit and to create an option for Temporary Crisis Shelters for when there is a temporary but urgent need for additional shelter space.”

The Office of Planning presented research findings, including a peer city review to the Louisville Metro Council on May 7, 2024 and followed up with five (5) Community Listening Sessions in August/September of 2024.

A summary of the proposed changes is available online HERE. Please share with others and submit comments or questions online HERE. Also, don’t forget to visit the Office of Planning online at https://louisvilleky.gov/planning to learn more about these changes and much more!
