 Happy New Year!
As we welcome in 2024, I wish a special and Happy New Year to the residents of District 16. It is an honor to serve you!
Welcome to the new subscribers who joined over the holidays and thank you to our long-time readers.
My newsletter is a great way to get the latest information on state and local traffic projects, police reports, commercial/residential developments, and Metro Council policy and budget news impacting our region of Louisville.
We release the newsletter generally on Fridays, and occasionally if there is a major event in Louisville, I will send an E-News Blast addressing the specific issue from a Metro Council perspective. For example, in November my office released a special edition focused on major Traffic Projects in District 16. If you are curious about the VA hospital (I-264/KY22 Brownsboro Road reconfiguration), traffic signal improvements near the Paddock Shops, or the widening of Brownsboro Road at Springcrest Drive please follow this link:

If you have suggestions on how we can make this E-newsletter even better, please do not hesitate to contact my office, scott.reed@louisvilleky.gov
All the best,
Scott
