 The federally funded Rightsizing Louisville for Safe Streets project is getting underway. The project includes rightsizing and other safety improvements for 10 corridors in Louisville. The project is funded by a $21 million Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) Implementation Grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT). Rightsizing, also called a road diet or roadway reconfiguration, calms traffic and reduces speeding and weaving between lanes.
The Project Team for 2 of the 10 corridors is seeking public input on ways to improve safety for all road users, including pedestrians. Here are the 2 corridors:
Berry Boulevard (U.S. 60A) (Manslick Rd - Taylor Blvd)

 Louisville Metro Government is leading a plan to advance quick-term action projects for streets in Downtown and NuLu, intended to promote walkability and safety for pedestrians and to serve as a blueprint for capital improvement projects over the next several years. Come be a part of this planning effort by joining our open house and kickoff of the plan activities - featuring a presentation from Jeff Speck from Metro's planning consultant team - and learn more about how Metro intends to use this plan to make Downtown and NuLu more walkable!

- Wilson Avenue (S. 26th St - Algonquin Pkwy)

 A transportation safety study now underway in South Louisville will evaluate potential improvements to KY 1931 (7th Street Road/Manslick Road) that would enhance safety and reduce crashes for Kentuckians who rely on the state highway. The study, in partnership with Louisville Metro Government’s transportation safety initiative, Vision Zero, will identify short-term and long-term safety and mobility enhancements for the roughly three-mile corridor.
The study corridor includes three sections along KY 1931 (7th Street Road/Manslick Road) from KY 2054 (Algonquin Parkway) to Wathen Lane, Wathen Lane to U.S. 60A (Berry Boulevard), and U.S. 60A (Berry Boulevard) to Lance Drive.
A public meeting was held on Jan. 14, 2025, at the South Louisville Community Center to gather input from residents.
