When the community cooperates with law enforcement good things happen. Great work by 7th Division LMPD!

Last week, we were made aware of a disturbing incident where a suspect walked up to a front porch and eventually groped an older lady by brushing her back side several times. The case was assigned to the 7th Division Detectives office.

Thanks to the 7th Division detectives, we're announcing the arrest of a 13yo male in this case. He was charged with S*x Abuse 3rd Degree. He does not live in the neighborhood.

We hope this arrest relieves some of the fear and embarrassment the innocent woman suffered. Great work, detectives.

Buechel Bypass Bridge Closure Set for This Weekend in Jefferson County
Closure necessary as contractor advances on repairs to bridge

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (March 16, 2023) – The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) advises motorists of the weekend closure of the bridge carrying Buechel Bypass (U.S. 31E/U.S. 150) over a set of railroad tracks in Jefferson County.

The bridge will be closed from 9 p.m. on Friday, March 17, to 5 a.m. on Monday, March 20, between mile point 10.4 and mile point 10.5. That’s between the cross streets of Plaza Avenue and Hikes Lane. During the bridge closure, signs in the area will direct drivers to utilize Hikes Lane, Shepherdsville Road, Buechel Bank Road, and Progress Boulevard as the posted detour.

Various closures have been in place for the bridge since a February 2021 inspection found deterioration on one of the bridge’s pier caps. The repairs were initially delayed as KYTC, and the contractor sought approval from the railroad to work on the bridge section over the tracks. Last year, crews began working under the bridge, in an area not visible to motorists crossing the span. Those repairs have now advanced to a point where the weekend closure of the entire bridge is necessary. The repairs are expected to be completed in spring 2023.

The date and duration of this work may be adjusted if inclement weather or other unforeseen delays occur.

Fern Creek Leaders and Miracle League Celebrate Construction of New Accessible Restrooms and Pavilion

Louisville, KY: Metro Council member Robin Engel (District 22) along with Council colleagues, a representative from the Mayor’s Office, the Miracle League of Louisville and WEHR Constructors will participate in a ribbon cutting ceremony to celebrate the latest improvements to Fern Creek Park.

“Twenty years ago we began investing in this park through improvements to many of the ball fields. About five years ago, we were approached by representatives from the Building Industry of Louisville and the newly formed Miracle League about a partnership to bring more inclusive facilities and athletic opportunities to the park. These efforts have led to the construction of a turf ballfield, fully accessible playground and now, new accessible restrooms and a pavilion.”– Metro Councilman Robin Engel, District 22

“The Miracle League of Louisville is very excited for the opening of the new pavilions and renovated restrooms for our Miracle League ball players, their families and friends. We are extremely grateful for our dedicated partners, including Louisville Metro government, Councilman Robin Engel, Fern Creek Babe Ruth , Wehr Constructors, and so many others who are dedicated to this endeavor. Let’s play ball!” - Shawn Freibert, Miracle League of Louisville

The ribbon cutting ceremony will occur, rain or shine, tomorrow, March 17, 2023 at noon at Fern Creek Park (8703 Ferndale Road). Attendees will have the opportunity to see the new facilities as well as see the impact the approximately $1 million in investments in the park has had in making Fern Creek Park one of the most welcoming parks in Louisville Metro. Attendees will also have the opportunity to meet the Miracle League Mascot Homer as well as many of the other partners who have helped to make this project a success.

“One of our corporate core values is ‘WEHR Fun’, and what is more fun than watching children engage, learn, and grow through play? WEHR Constructors is humbled to have played a small part in supporting Miracle League of Louisville’s mission of removing barriers to children with mental and physical disabilities. We hope the continued improvements we are recognizing today continue to remove those barriers and make play - FUN!” - Shawn Woosley, CFO WEHR Constructors

Here is the latest from the Mayor’s Office as of 11:00 Sunday morning, 05-MAR-2023:

Approximately 64k people remain without power.

There are approximate 1600 'circuits' in need of repair and that work is beginning now that the Safety & Protection Phase has been completed.

About 1200 out of state crews arrived this morning, just completed a safety briefing at Broadbent Arena and are now being deployed across the region.

All but three road blockages have been cleared. Those three remain because they have power lines intermixed in the debris.

The mayor will have a briefing at 2 pm, location TBD.
