Rightsizing Louisville for Safe Streets Survey

Louisville Public Works wants to ask for your input on the Rightsizing Louisville for Safe Streets (SS4A) project occurring in District 6.

Survey Link: https://hdr.jotform.com/250026429838965

This project aims to implement effective and proven safety countermeasures across three corridors:

  • Wilson Avenue,
  • Louis Coleman Jr. Drive,and
  • South 22nd Street.

The project will engage a Safe System Approach to increase safety measures, boost economic activity, and enhance connectivity between people, jobs, and other valuable resources.

Rightsizing Louisville for Safe Streets aims to create safer roads and safer speeds. The three targeted corridors experience an average daily traffic count of less than 20,000 vehicles, making them well-suited for introducing safety countermeasures.

For more information on the project, please see the attached information and visit the website:

Organizing Corner Vol. VII: Make Your Voice Heard!

We had our orientation meeting of the District 6 Advisory Council on Wednesday, April 9th, and it was a huge success. It was so powerful to see people from across District 6 ready to work together in our community! I couldn’t be more excited for the organizing we’re going to do to increase engagement and change our district and city for the better. The new Advisory Council members shared with each other what they would like to see changed locally and city-wide, and made plans for when the first meetings of the neighborhood level committees will take place. This is where the real work will begin on bringing information to our friends and neighbors on our blocks about how to get involved.

One of the items we brought up with the council members is the upcoming District 6 Townhall on the proposed TARC 2025 redesign this Monday (see above!). The comment period on the proposed plans ends this month, and it’s very important that our residents hear about what’s proposed and offer feedback. Just as important, this is a chance to start talking about a long-term vision for a public transit system in Louisville that meets the needs of the working class, the environment, and the economic future of our city. We do not have a peer city in terms of the state of our public transportation system. That will have to change, and it will require a financial investment to reorient public perception of TARC from a transportation option of last resort to one we’re excited and proud to use. Even if you don’t use TARC now, this meeting and these plans will affect you and the life of our city for decades to come, and I encourage you to come make your voice heard.

Making your voice heard is the first step of being involved in the civic process and the foundation of democracy. I believe in expanding democratic control of our lives—in the workplace, in government, and in our homes—and it’s why I’m so excited about the Advisory Council. In the next few weeks, we’ll be announcing our plans for People’s Assemblies for District 6 residents to discuss the next Louisville Metro budget, which the Advisory Council will help organize. I look forward to hearing from you about what your priorities are and what you’d like to see change to make Louisville a city that meets everyone’s needs!

Solidarity,

Councilman JP Lyninger
