Our newest interactive public art installation has arrived in Downtown! The new installation features four stationary bikes that emit light and sound when pedaled. The installation is best enjoyed at night. The public art experience can be found at the entrance of the Belvedere, 5th Street and Main Street, now through mid-December. The program features rotating art installations in public spaces around Downtown for the next year. All installations will be on display for four to six weeks and are free and open to the public. Designed by LeMonde Studio, the installation has been showcased on city streets around the world, including Singapore; New York City, NY; Milwaukee, WI; and Tempe, AZ.

From the desk of Rebecca Fleischaker… ⚜️ “I hope that November 5 is on your calendar. It’s the day to perform our democratic right. This presidential race is probably the biggest choice for different leadership for our country in its entire 250 years. In general, our average voter turnout in Louisville is 30%. The primary race in the spring of this year saw a 13% turnout. Not stellar. Vote… because it actually matters. It matters because important issues and laws are decided by people that we put into office. And if only 30% of people are voting, then how do we know who is being represented.” Read the latest Director's Take Blog and subscribe here: https://lnkd.in/dC9SX368.

Today, we were joined by Mayor Craig Greenberg, U.S. Rep. Morgan McGarvey, Public Works Director Jennifer Kern, and LMPD 1st Division Maj. Bryan Edelen to unveil the new LED lighting project installed underneath the I-65 overpass on Main St., between S. Jackson St. and S. Hancock St., in Downtown Louisville. The new lighting project transforms the underpass from its current state, with standard-issue white lights, into an inviting colorful destination and connection between the NuLu District and the core of Downtown by elevating the underpass’s aesthetic appeal and creating a brighter and more engaging space for visitors. LDP funded planning and design phases for Main and Market Streets at a cost of $61,000, with Louisville Metro funding the lighting equipment and installation at an additional $1.6 million. Engineering firm Strand Associates, lighting designer Lumenation, and installation contractor Meiners Electric were contractors for the project. Additional federal funding of $1.6 million was secured by Rep. McGarvey to support two more underpass projects in the Downtown area. Once the Market St. lighting is complete, planning and design will begin on the next two underpasses, located on Jefferson and Jackson Streets. This funding will cover planning, design, equipment, and installation.
