SUMMARY: LMPD is working to improve safety in the Highlands after large late-night crowds blocked streets and disrupted traffic near Bardstown Road and Grinstead Drive over the holiday weekend. Officers dispersed the cooperative crowd, believed to have overflowed from a nearby bar. Residents, like Elizabeth Bierman, expressed ongoing safety concerns due to past violence and dangerous litter on the streets. LMPD Chief Paul Humphrey confirmed police responsiveness, while Councilman Ben Weber’s team proposed a plan with LMPD and Alcoholic Beverage Control including limited weekend parking access, added security cameras, and a dedicated patrol squad on Bardstown Road. Residents remain cautious despite these efforts.
