TARC began replacing old bus-stop signs with the new signs this month. Customers are beginning to see the news signs and flyers (indicating whether a stop will be new, continue being served, or will be closed) posted at bus stops across the region. The bus stop changes are expected to help TARC provide faster and more reliable service, while the new bus stop signs will provide more information to customers about the routes that serve each stop and where they go.    Whereas the old network had a stop almost every block (3341 stops in total), the new network is consolidating to one stop every three blocks (1430 stops in total—a reduction of 1911 stops) to help with on-time performance and service efficiency. No existing TARC bus stops will be removed prior to August 2, 2026. A full list of existing bus stops and how they will be affected by the New TARC Network can be found on the New TARC Network website: https://www.ridetarc.org/newtarcnetwork/bus-stop-changes-in-the-new-tarc-network/

Longer days, warmer weather, and one question on everyone’s mind: where are we cooling off this summer? At Louisville Parks and Recreation, aquatics season is officially here, and we’re ready to welcome everyone to our pools, waterparks, and spraygrounds!

Last summer, we celebrated the opening of the brand-new Algonquin Waterpark, and this year, the momentum has continued with the opening of the new Camp Taylor Waterpark. Each offers waterslides, a climbing wall, smaller play features for children and more.

Alongside our newest water attractions, Fairdale Pool and Sun Valley Pool continue to serve as favorite summer destinations. Sun Valley Pool is next in line for renovations, continuing Mayor Greenberg's commitment to investing in quality aquatic experiences across Louisville.

But aquatics at Louisville Parks and Recreation goes far beyond open swim.

Each season, we hire and train our own team of lifeguards, offering lifeguard certification and training opportunities before pool season begins. Residents can also dive into a wide variety of aquatics programming and swim lessons, helping swimmers of all ages build confidence, stay active, and enjoy the water safely.

And the fun doesn’t stop when summer ends. Mary T. Meagher Aquatic Center, home to an indoor Olympic-size pool, keeps Louisville swimming all year long with programs, lap swim, and opportunities for every age and ability.

To find all of the details about our aquatics division, visit the Aquatics' page on bestparksever.com.

Mosquito season is officially underway. When temperatures stay above 50 degrees, mosquitoes become active, and in Louisville their peak season stretches from May to October. To protect residents from mosquito‑borne diseases like West Nile virus, the Louisville Metro Department of Public Health and Wellness (LMPHW) takes several measures to control mosquitoes:

LMPHW works year-round to control the mosquito population

• To prevent mosquitoes from breeding or hatching we apply pretreatment larvicides to 385 areas known to hold water around the county including wet wooded areas, swampy areas, areas that frequently flood, right of ways, drainage easements, and vacant properties.
• At least three times a year, we apply larvicides to approximately 14,500 Metropolitan Sewer District (MSD) catch basins. By design, catch basins hold water to prevent sewer odors from escaping from the sewer Because these catch basins hold water, they provide an excellent breeding habitat for disease-carrying mosquitoes which is why we prioritize treating them.
• We place numerous mosquito traps around the community which attract different types of mosquitos. The mosquitoes are speciated and tested for disease. When mosquitoes carrying West Nile virus or other diseases are found in those traps, it triggers misting and fogging to kill mosquito larvae as well as adult mosquitoes.
• Gambusia, a small native fish, is found in most creeks and permanently wet ditches in Louis These fish are voracious eaters of mosquito larvae and pupae. We transplant them into creeks, decommissioned wastewater treatment plants, ponds, lakes, water retention areas, untreated swimming pools, and ditches where mosquito breeding is found.

Protect Your Family from Measles Before Summer Travel

Since early 2025, measles cases have been increasing in the United States and in many places around the world. Almost 2,000 cases have been reported in 40 states or jurisdictions. Measles can be dangerous, especially for babies and young children. 

“While we can’t predict where measles will spread, outbreaks occur when measles is introduced into communities with large numbers of people who are not protected against measles. The American Academy of Pediatricians continues to recommend the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine as the best way to prevent measles,” said Dr. Kris Bryant, associate medical director for the Louisville Metro Department of Public Health and Wellness and a pediatric infectious disease specialist with Norton Children’s.

What you can do

If you’re unsure if you’re protected against measles, talk to your doctor about MMR vaccine, especially if you or your child plan to travel.

Timing tips

“If you’re making summer vacation travel preparations, plan to be fully vaccinated at least two weeks before your trip,” said Dr. Bryant. “If your trip is less than two weeks away and you're not protected, you should still get a dose of MMR vaccine. Call your doctor to schedule your vaccination appointment.” 

For individuals 12 months and older who are traveling outside the US or to an area in the US where measles is actively spreading, two doses of MMR vaccine provide the best protection against infection. The second dose of MMR vaccine can be given 28 days after the first.

Infants 6–11 months old should get one dose of the MMR vaccine before travel. They should then get two more doses after their first birthday to provide long-term protection against measles.

The Louisville Metro Department of Public Health and Wellness provides the MMR vaccine as well. We provide vaccines to people without insurance or a medical home, as well as for children whose insurance or doctor do not cover vaccines. We also accept most insurance plans. There is a $12 administration fee for each vaccine, but no one will be turned away if they are unable to pay. To schedule an appointment, call 502-574-5380.

Hello Community Partners,

As summer gets underway, we wanted to share the updated Louisville Youth Summer Programs & Opportunities Guide 2026. What started as a simple spreadsheet has grown into a community resource connecting families, youth, teens, and young adults to programs, camps, internships, workforce opportunities, mentoring, and more across Louisville.

We currently have 100+ opportunities listed and will continue updating the guide throughout the summer as new programs are added.

Our goal is simple: help keep Louisville youth safe, engaged, connected, and supported this summer.

Thank you for all you do for our community. Together, we can make sure every young person has access to positive opportunities this summer.

The I-65 Central Corridor closure is now underway, with a five-mile stretch of interstate between I-264 and downtown Louisville closed through Aug. 1.

A two-mile section of southbound I-65 is expected to reopen to two lanes of traffic by July 1, restoring access to ramps at Crittenden Drive, Eastern Parkway, and University Boulevard. I-65 is expected to reopen to two lanes of traffic in each direction by Aug. 1.

I-65 is closed to accelerate replacement of three aging bridges. The temporary two-month closure is expected to save at least a year of additional traffic restrictions and construction delays.

KYTC reports that crews have been working around the clock since the closure began and have already reached a major milestone. The bridge deck on the I-65 bridge over Kentucky Street/Brook Street—one of three bridges being replaced—has been completely removed.  Bridge demolition and reconstruction will continue throughout the summer as crews work to accelerate the project schedule.

Louisville Metro Public Works and the Department of Transportation continue to work closely with KYTC, monitoring traffic conditions, evaluating impacts on local streets and neighborhoods, and coordinating responses to issues as they arise.

The United States launched 988 in 2022 as an easy‑to‑remember number for anyone experiencing a mental health, emotional, or substance‑use crisis. The 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline is free, confidential, and available 24/7/365, connecting callers with trained counselors who listen, offer support, and help you stay safe.

You don’t have to be suicidal to call.

Anyone—at any age—can reach out for help, and you can also contact 988 if you’re worried about someone else. Veterans, service members, and their families can be connected with specially trained counselors. Interpretation is available for people who speak languages other than English or Spanish.

How to reach 988 (https://988lifeline.org/)

• Call
• Text
• Chat online

Why people contact 988

People reach out for many reasons, including anxiety, depression, substance‑use concerns, stress, trauma, loneliness, or simply needing someone to talk to.

What happens when you call

A trained counselor will:

• Listen without judgment
• Check on your safety
• Talk through what you’re experiencing
• Offer support and local resources

Most people feel calmer and more hopeful after connecting with a counselor.

Privacy and safety

You don’t have to share personal information. Counselors only involve 911 in rare situations when someone is in immediate danger.

Between 2019 and 2030, the number of persons aged 60 years or over is projected to grow by 38%, from 1 billion to 1.4 billion, globally outnumbering youth, and this increase will be the greatest and the most rapid in the developing world, and recognizing that greater attention needs to be paid to the specific challenges affecting older persons, including in the field of human rights.

Elder abuse is a problem that exists in both developing and developed countries yet is typically underreported globally. Prevalence rates or estimates exist only in selected developed countries — ranging from 1% to 10%. Although the extent of elder mistreatment is unknown, its social and moral significance is obvious. As such, it demands a global multifaceted response, one which focuses on protecting the rights of older persons.

Approaches to define, detect and address elder abuse need to be placed within a cultural context and considered along side culturally specific risk factors. For example, in some traditional societies, older widows are subjected to forced marriages while in others, isolated older women are accused of witchcraft. From a health and social perspectives, unless both primary health care and social service sectors are well equipped to identify and deal with the problem, elder abuse will continue to be underdiagnosed and overlooked.

Louisville, KY. – Whitehall House & Gardens is pleased to announce that it will host its fourth annual Garden Party at the historic mansion at 3110 Lexington Road on Friday, June 12. The festivities will begin at 6:30 p.m. with cocktails, hors d’oeuvres, and a silent auction in the formal garden, followed by a seated dinner under the tent on the garden terrace. The dinner will be followed by live music courtesy of Kudmani.

Individual tickets to the Garden Party are $200 per person. Tickets for the event may be purchased at www.historicwhitehall.org/gardenparty2026. Sponsors of this year’s event include Bartlett Wealth  Management; Karen and Michael Cronan; Dwyer DesignScapes; Highland Cleaners; J. Kathryn Interiors;  Laura Rice & Associates, Lenihan Sotheby’s; Northdwell; Stites & Harbison; and Sterling Thompson Company.

Whitehall House & Gardens

Proceeds from the Garden Party will benefit Whitehall House & Gardens, a historic home owned and operated by the nonprofit Historic Homes Foundation. The mansion began its life in the 1850s as an Italianate farmhouse. After extensive renovations in 1909, the house was transformed into the Classical Greek Revival-style mansion known today as Whitehall. Its collection features original gaslight fixtures and French and American antiques. Guided tours are offered Monday-Friday, at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m.

At just under ten acres, Whitehall’s gardens have become the primary focus of its educational outreach, offering unique opportunities for both the amateur and professional horticulturalist. Throughout the year the public is invited to participate in workshops, lectures, and tours – all inspired by Whitehall’s special collection of trees and plants. A small, but ever-growing arboretum features over 500 trees, including a rare specimen collection that has become an important resource for propagation of interesting species. Whitehall’s woodland garden, a Victorian stumpery nestled in a wooded corner of the grounds, presents a regionally unprecedented collection of ferns and other woodland plants. Not only a popular tour destination for garden clubs and other horticultural groups, the garden has received national recognition as an official display garden of the Hardy Fern Foundation. The gardens are open to the public free of charge from sunup to sundown 7 days per week all 12 months of the year.

Olmsted Parks Beer Garden in Bingham Park

June 12   5:00pm - 8:00pm 

Bingham Park (160 Coral Avenue)

The Olmsted Parks Beer Garden Series brings pop up events to various parks within the Olmsted Park System. These events are great opportunities to meet your neighbors and spend time in our beautiful urban green spaces.

Mark your calendars — Louisville Metro’s Pop-Up Drop-Off event is coming to Doss High School on Saturday, June 13 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., with another chance to recycle bulky plastic items! 

We'll be recycling the following large plastic items:

• Old or broken laundry baskets
• Busted storage totes and bins
• Leaky buckets
• Broken large flowerpots
• Unusable plastic shelving and drawer units

These items don’t belong in curbside recycling and typically end up in the landfill — but at this event, by collecting them separately, they'll be able to be recycled.

In addition to bulky plastics, the Pop-Up Drop-Off will continue accepting a variety of other materials, most of which are diverted from the landfill through recycling, reuse, or proper disposal. This makes the event a convenient, one-stop opportunity to clear out hard-to-dispose items while supporting Louisville Metro’s sustainability goals.

Join us for a hands‑on, nature‑based outdoor art class, followed by some cool‑down time at the splash pad. Baby & Me: Art with Nature is the perfect event for families to get messy, get creative, and make art using natural materials.

The event begins at 2 p.m. on June 13 at the Louisville Zoo, 1100 Trevilian Way. Please click here to RSVP for this fun event. Anyone who RSVPs will receive a confirmation with further details or be placed on a waitlist.

At just under ten acres, Whitehall’s grounds offer the public multiple special gardens that are a horticultural treasure to the community.

Louisville Mayor Craig Greenberg invites residents and visitors to kick off the 2026 CycLOUvia season on Sunday, June 28, from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. as Logan Street is transformed into a car-free community gathering space.

During the event, Logan Street will be closed to vehicular traffic from Goss Avenue to East Broadway, creating a safe and welcoming environment for people of all ages and abilities to walk, bike, skateboard, roller skate, use mobility devices, dance, socialize, and enjoy the city in a new way.

“This is an amazing opportunity for people of all ages and abilities to stay active and experience these great neighborhoods in a whole new way,” said Mayor Greenberg. “I encourage everyone to bring their friends and family and take part in this great Louisville tradition.”

CycLOUvia is modeled after Bogotá, Colombia’s renowned “Ciclovía” program and is designed to encourage active transportation while bringing neighbors together to experience Louisville Metro’s streets as public spaces.

“This will be the first time this stretch of Logan Street has been completely closed to vehicle traffic for CycLOUvia,” said Lou Lepping, transportation planner with the Louisville Metro Department of Transportation and CycLOUvia program manager. “It’s a unique opportunity for residents to explore the businesses, shops, restaurants, and community spaces that are helping shape this changing corridor. When people experience a street at a slower pace — whether walking, biking, rolling, or simply gathering with neighbors — they discover places and connections they might otherwise miss.”

Along the route, participants can enjoy activities, community organizations, local businesses, and opportunities to learn more about active transportation and neighborhood resources.

TRAFFIC INFORMATION:

Logan Street along the event route will be closed to vehicle traffic during the event. Goss Avenue, East Broadway, and South Shelby Street will remain open to vehicular traffic. Drivers should follow posted detour signs and allow extra travel time in the area.

As Louisville Metro’s network of bike lanes continues to grow, maintaining them has become increasingly important. Many bike lanes are separated from vehicle traffic by barriers, curbs or flexible posts that improve safety for cyclists but can make routine cleaning difficult. Traditional street sweepers are often too large to access these narrower spaces.

To address that challenge, Public Works has purchased a specialized bike lane sweeper designed specifically for tight, protected corridors. Smaller and more maneuverable than conventional sweepers, the machine can navigate bike lanes and remove debris, dirt, leaves and litter that can create hazards for cyclists. Regular sweeping also helps improve drainage and extends the life of pavement markings and lane infrastructure.

Last week, Solid Waste Management Services put the new bike lane sweeper to work on its first cleaning assignment. After unloading on Castlewood Avenue, the crew quickly cleared debris from the lane and restored a cleaner riding surface.

With more bike lanes being added throughout Louisville Metro, this specialized equipment will play an important role in keeping those facilities safe, accessible and well maintained. Keep an eye out for this new addition as it travels across the city helping keep Louisville’s bike network clean.

With paving season now fully underway, crews continue improving streets and advancing roadway projects across Louisville Metro.

Louisville Metro repaves streets each year to preserve roadway conditions, extend the life of existing pavement, and provide safer, smoother travel for everyone. Regular paving helps prevent more costly repairs in the future and protects the city’s infrastructure investment.

To see which streets are currently scheduled for paving, visit the "Paving" page at louisvilleky.gov. Please note that all listed projects are weather permitting and subject to change.
