E-News and UpdatesJune 15th, 2017CHERI BRYANT HAMILTON, DISTRICT 5 COUNCILWOMANMessage from Councilwoman Cheri Bryant Hamilton - Friday, June 2nd 2017I am happy to be with you all to observe National Gun ViolenceAwareness Day. With the number of shootings and homicides rising inour city on almost a daily and nightly basis in some neighborhoods - Ithink that we can all agree that what is happening is NOT normal, is NOTright, is NOT acceptable, and it NOT getting any better. Our community isin a crisis - let’s face it.But we’re here this morning to be part of the solution, because we all canand must do everything we can to raise awareness and to prevent gunviolence.It’s too early for young people to pick up a gun to resolve a conflict - when they could pick up their fist (like Alidid) and learn to box at the gym at 25th & Main. Or they could learn anger management and conflict resolutionskills at Peace Education, for example. Or develop musical talents at AMPED, or get a job with Project ONE - orget a mentor with Big Brother, Big Sister - there are so many resources.Violence - especially gun violence, is truly a community health problem how many of us experience increased stress on a daily basis wondering if astray bullet might catch us or a loved one in our neighborhoods & feel ourhearts pound when the police or EMS sirens race past out houses at allhours of the night?Too many families have been affected forever by tragic gun violence.Many have been innocent victims - but far too many haven’t.So I ask you - if your son, your brother, or your boyfriend have a gun - whydo they have it? Do you even know they have it? And if they say it’s forprotection - then what are they doing out there - & who are theyassociating with that they feel they need a gun to be protected from?Ask yourself - are they using or selling drugs? Or hanging with folks thatdo? Are they in a gang - or hanging with folks that are? If so, you can’t turna blind eye and hope the violence will not reach your door In conclusion - if you have a gun and have young people who live or visit your home - LOCK IT UP! Lets not sayit’s not my problem & turn a blind eye - it’s time for all hands on deck!7

In years past, Riverport businesses have been challenged with filling positionsespecially during peak seasons while TARC has worked closely to provide transit service incoordination with travel patterns and shift times based on the available resources.During a press conference today at Radial, Inc., Mayor Greg Fisher, TARC Executive Director Barry Barker andother stakeholders announced TARC as the recipient of a 2.5 million Congestion Mitigation Air Quality (CMAQ)non-infrastructure match grant administered by the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet. The CMAQ grant will aidin the implementation of a new circulator route anticipated to begin in Fall 2017 during peak employment season.Current number of trips to Riverport will also increase from three (3) morning and four (4) evening weekday tripson Route #19 to approximately six (6) morning and seven (7) evening weekday trips on the circulator.The new Riverport Circulator route will also connect Riverport to other main, express and high frequency TARCroutes (i.e. Route #18-Dixie-Preston Highway), improving access to this vital employment center and the BusRapid Transit (BRT) service on Dixie Highway to be implemented in late 2019.The CMAQ grant in addition to TARC’s match of 20% will cover the 3,180,000 in operating costs to provide theservice for 3 consecutive years. Final service plans will be developed at the time grant funding is awarded.Construction activities along this corridor will be minor and may involve bus stops, access and shelterimprovements, fully within existing rights-of-way. Following the implementation of the Riverport CirculatorProject, TARC will continue to work with Metro Public Works, State Highway Departments, and Metro CouncilDistricts to initiate pedestrian improvements and traffic lights evaluation to ensure safer road crossings in theRiverport area.9
