A Letter to the Bon Air Neighborhood

(A letter we hope to distribute soon in the neighborhood/but feel free to share it with your neighbors )

Dear Bon Air Resident

The Bon Air Neighborhood Association (BANA) was formed in 2008 as a response to crimes against women in our area.  However, we have had many, positive accomplishments including:

• The magnificent Bardstown Road mural in the Bardstown Rd/I-264 underpass,
• The Bon Air streetlight pole signs that announce the neighborhood
• The four-way stop at Goldsmith Lane/Ada Lane/Del Rio Place
• The bike lanes on Goldsmith Lane.

We also have been leading advocates for the neighborhood including:

• Leading in the effort to stop a methadone clinic from opening in Bardstown Square and
• Putting pressure on the owners of the Economy Inn to clean up the situation.
• Three additional, yearly opportunities for residents to have direct Q and A with our Metro Council representative and LMPD.

We are proud of our excellent working relationship with our Metro Council representative. 

Our current focus is development.  We are pursuing an arts development strategy and the creation of a business association. The arts development strategy includes

• The building of a performance stage in Farnsley Park
• The creation of an art hall in the Bon Air Library
• Public art installations that include grand statuary.

We are excited about the interest in the arts strategy and the business organization is gaining momentum.  

However, we need your support by being a member of the organization.  Our annual membership dues are $20.00.  This helps pay for insurance, our post office box, our annual registration with the state of Kentucky, and mailing fees.  You can mail your membership payment to our post office box at  PO 34262 Louisville, KY 40231 or bring it to our monthly meeting at the Bon Air Library, the second Mondays at 6:30 pm.

You can also support us by becoming active with us by not merely being a member but also a board member.  The more people who are involved, the more effective the Bon Air Neighborhood Association will become.

If you need to see what we do first, you can like us on Facebook.  We post much of what we do on our Facebook page.  You can also go to our website at www.bon-air.org.  Regardless, we hope we see you at our next meeting as we seek to make our neighborhood a great place to live and raise families.

Best,

Dave Houvenagle, President

Bon Air Neighborhood Association
