Community Commitment Quarterly Meeting
New School Bus Law
 As students return to school, Kentucky drivers should be aware of important changes to the state's school bus stopping law aimed at improving student safety. Under House Bill 7, which took effect July 15, 2026, drivers must now stop for school buses displaying flashing red lights and an extended stop arm on more roadways than ever before.
Previously, drivers traveling in the opposite direction on roads with four or more lanes were generally not required to stop. Under the new law, traffic in both directions must stop unless the roadway is separated by an elevated barrier or an unpaved median. Painted center turn lanes and painted lane markings do not qualify as barriers.
The law also increases penalties for drivers who illegally pass a stopped school bus. Violators may face significant fines, and Kentucky now allows the use of school bus stop-arm cameras to identify and cite drivers who fail to stop.
LMPD reminds all motorists to slow down, stay alert, and be especially cautious around school buses and bus stops. A few extra seconds of patience can help protect the safety of our community's children and prevent a tragic crash. Let's all do our part to keep students safe as they travel to and from school each day.
Remember: When the red lights flash and the stop arm extends, STOP.
Children's lives depend on it.

 Muhammad Ali Boulevard, Chestnut Street set for two-way travel
Beginning October 7, weather permitting, Louisville Metro will begin converting Muhammad Ali Boulevard and Chestnut Street/River Park Drive between 9th Street and Southwestern Parkway from one-way to two-way traffic as part of the Reimagine 9th Street Project.
The project is designed to improve safety, connectivity, and access for residents, pedestrians, cyclists, public transit users, and local businesses. Studies have shown that two-way street conversions can help reduce traffic speeds, decrease crash severity, and improve access for emergency vehicles and neighborhood destinations.
Construction is expected to be completed before winter. Crews will restripe roadways in phases, and temporary lane closures and parking restrictions will be in place throughout the project. Residents and motorists are encouraged to follow posted signage and move vehicles as needed.
The next phase of the Reimagine 9th Street Project will focus on transforming 9th Street (Roy Wilkins Avenue) between Main Street and Broadway into a safer, more pedestrian-friendly corridor. Construction is anticipated to begin in 2027.
To learn more about the project, visit LouisvilleKY.gov and search for Reimagine 9th Street.
Small food safety habits can make a big difference
 September is the FDA’s National Food Safety Education Month. Foodborne illnesses affect an estimated 48 million Americans every year, resulting in about 128,000 hospitalizations and 3,000 deaths. The good news is that many of these illnesses can be prevented by following basic food safety guidelines.
- Wash your hands and surfaces before handling food and wash all fruits and vegetables,
- Keep raw meet separate from other foods or surfaces,
- Cook your food to the correct temperature, either listed on the packaging or according to FDA's guidelines.
- Carefully change food temperature. Be sure to defrost food according to package instructions before cooking, and always put cooked food in the refrigerator within two hours of cooking.
Take extra steps to be sure your food not only tastes delicious, but is safe for you and your loved ones to eat.
To learn more about food safety or reporting a foodborne illness, please visit our Food Safety Program website.

Take action this National Preparedness Month
 National Preparedness Month serves as a reminder to be ready before emergencies happen. Create a family emergency plan, assemble a preparedness kit with at least 72 hours of essential supplies, and keep emergency items stored in an easily accessible location. When traveling, consider keeping a similar emergency kit in your vehicle with necessities such as water, nonperishable food, first aid supplies, flashlights, batteries, chargers, and blankets to help keep you and your family safe during unexpected events.
Stay informed: Residents can keep up to date on emergency situations by signing up for LENSAlert, the Louisville Emergency Notification System. Additionally, creating a safety profile through Smart911 can provide first responders with vital information to aid Police, Fire, and EMS in responding promptly during emergencies.
For more information on how to create an emergency plan, please visit the Emergency Preparedness webpage or Ready.gov, which is an official site of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.

Help keep your kids healthy for the activities they love
 Flu season is here. One of the best ways to help your child stay healthy, active, and ready to learn is to get their annual flu vaccine.
The American Academy of Pediatrics and the Louisville Metro Department of Public Health and Wellness (LMPHW) recommend a yearly flu vaccine for everyone 6 months of age and older.
The flu is more than a bad cold. It can cause serious, even life-threatening illness, especially for young children and children with conditions such as asthma or diabetes. A flu vaccine can lower a child's risk of getting sick and help prevent serious complications.
“October is the perfect time for families to get immunized against flu. Updated flu vaccines are available that prevent against three flu virus strains,” said Dr. Kris Bryant, associate medical director for the Louisville Metro Department of Public Health and Wellness (LMPHW) and pediatric infectious disease specialist at Norton Children's. Options include flu shots as well as a nasal spray vaccine for some children who are at least 2 years old.
“When children are protected from the flu, they are more likely to stay in school and enjoy the activities they love, including sports, clubs, performances, and time with friends and family,” she added.
Need a flu vaccine? ‘We're here to help’
"If you or your child needs a flu vaccine, we are here to help," Dr. Bryant said. "We offer vaccines for individuals without insurance, children whose insurance does not cover vaccines, and those without a regular healthcare provider. We also accept most insurance plans."
To schedule an appointment at the LMPHW Immunization Clinic, call 502-574-5380.
LMPHW also has a mobile immunization clinic. We can bring vaccines to community events. Organizations who would like to request a mobile immunization clinic can contact us at our website.
Flu/COVID-19 Pop-Up Clinic
LMPHW is hosting a Flu/COVID-19 Pop-Up Vaccine Clinic from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Oct. 26 at the Louisville Metro Department of Public Health and Wellness, 400 E. Gray. No appointment is necessary.
Individuals may walk in to receive their flu and/or COVID-19 vaccine. For those who are insured, please bring your insurance card.
Everyone can bring a photo ID.
Helping babies reach their first birthday and beyond
 October is Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) Awareness Month, a time to raise awareness about safe sleep practices that can help save infants’ lives. At the Louisville Metro Department of Public Health and Wellness, our Healthy Start program works with families every day to promote safe sleep habits and reduce the risk of SIDS and other sleep-related infant deaths.
SIDS is the unexplained death of a seemingly healthy baby, usually under 1 year of age, often during sleep. While the exact cause remains unknown, research has shown that an infant’s sleep environment can play an important role in reducing risk and educational awareness.
In Kentucky, hundreds of infants die each year from SIDS and other sleep-related causes. According to the March of Dimes, 342 Kentucky infants died before their first birthday in 2023, resulting in an infant mortality rate of 6.6 deaths per 1,000 live births.
Serving areas including Newburg, Valley Station, Pleasure Ridge Park, Hazelwood, Portland, Park Hill, and Algonquin, Healthy Start connects families with resources and support throughout pregnancy and the postpartum period. The program’s nurses and resource workers begin discussing safe sleep as soon as a family enrolls and reinforces these messages at every visit throughout the perinatal period. If you live in any of these neighborhoods and are pregnant or have an infant under 18 months old, please complete our referral form.
The ABCD's of Safe Sleep
Healthy Start teaches families that babies should always sleep:
- A - Alone
- B - On their Back on a firm mattress with a fitted sheet
- C - In a Crib, bassinet or Pack 'n Play
- D - Decluttered, with no blankets, toys, stuffed animals, sleep wedges, bumper pads or other items in the sleep space
Families are also encouraged to maintain a smoke-free home and are connected with smoking cessation resources to help protect babies from exposure to secondhand smoke.
To promote safe sleeping environments, Healthy Start collaborates with Cribs for Kids to supply Pack 'n Plays and safe sleep educational materials to participants and organizations. Families who cannot afford a crib or bassinet can receive a Pack 'n Play and safe sleep supplies through the program. Those who enroll in Healthy Start and meet requirements can receive a Pack N’ Play and safe sleep kit while supplies last.
Beyond safe sleep education, Healthy Start supports families in a variety of ways, including encouraging attendance at prenatal appointments, providing care coordination, promoting breastfeeding and other healthy infant care practices, and offering ongoing community health education classes and events for both Healthy Start participants and the broader community. Please use this link to register for our events.
To learn more about the Healthy Start program, visit the program webpage or call 502-574-MOM1 (574-6661).

 Kentucky WIC participants now have another convenient way to shop for approved food items. WIC online ordering is now available through Walmart, allowing families to select eligible WIC foods online for pickup or delivery.

All in on Clean tackles its 5th activation
 A big thank you to our Public Works team members and Metro partners who helped make the fifth All in on Clean activation a success! This latest effort focused on a West Louisville neighborhood from S. 30th Street to S. 26th Street, between W. Broadway and W. Chestnut Street, including the area around Elliott Park.
Teams once again came together to provide coordinated services aimed at improving neighborhood conditions. Work included street sweeping, litter and debris removal, catch basin cleaning and mosquito prevention treatments, along with garbage and recycling cart support and resident education.

The program is funded by a Community Development Block Grant award from Louisville Metro, the city's first CDBG-funded home repair revolving loan pool. Funding is available now. Homeowners with traditional credit challenges are encouraged to apply.
Council offices can help by sharing this information through newsletters, social media, and neighborhood association meetings.
