After a series of community engagement events and stakeholder meetings, Louisville Metro Government (LMG), working in concert with consultant Gehl Architects since 2017, has completed a draft plan to “Reimagine 9th Street” from the Ohio River to Broadway.

Reimagining the corridor aims to implement goals of Vision Louisville, to pursue a MOVE Louisville priority project and to create an attractive, vibrant, and safe connection between west Louisville and downtown.

Councilman Bill Hollander invites the community to attend a D9 Community Conversation on crime prevention and the Neighborhood Watch Program through LMPD.

The meeting is Tuesday, June 19, beginning at 6:30 p.m., at Whitehall House & Gardens, 3110 Lexington Road.

A representative of LMPD will be present to talk about starting a neighborhood watch program in your neighborhood and to answer any questions you may have about crime or crime prevention in the area.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Getting your first bike is pretty special, but its even more memorable when an LMPD officer helps you build it. 

That's what happened during the "A Kid, A Cop, and A Cause" event held at Fourth Street Live! on Sunday.

Police officers, EMTs and firefighters helped local foster children build brand new bikes. In addition to the bikes, each child was also given a new helmet and backpack. 

More than 100 kids went home with new bikes.
