Oct. 24 meeting seeks comments on potential safety, mobility changes
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (Oct. 3, 2024) – The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) will hold a public meeting on Thursday, Oct. 24, at the South Central Regional Library (7300 Jefferson Blvd, Louisville, KY 40219) to update citizens on the next phase of the Preston Transportation Plan, which identifies short-term and long-term improvements for the roughly seven-mile corridor on Preston Highway between I-264 (Watterson Expressway) and I-265 (Gene Snyder Freeway).
A public meeting was held May 21, 2024, to inform the community on the Preston Transportation Plan and to gather feedback regarding the study. The project team listened to the concerns and suggestions from attendees and are now seeking input on improvement concepts that have been developed for the next phase of the study. During the upcoming Oct. 24 meeting, the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) will showcase design concepts that reflect the input received from the initial phase of the study.
The Oct. 24 meeting will be held from 5-7 p.m. and will be conducted in an open-house format, allowing attendees to view various exhibits, talk to KYTC representatives and ask questions about the study.
Written surveys will be available at the meeting to make it easier for the public to provide feedback directly to the project team. Surveys can be submitted by mail before Thursday, November 14, 2024, to the KYTC District 5 Office, 8310 Westport Road, Louisville, KY 40242. An online survey will be available following the public meeting.
Displays and materials will be available for review at the KYTC District 5 Office in Louisville beginning Friday, Oct. 25. Office hours are Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
All responses will become part of the official meeting record. Once compiled, the meeting record and supporting documentation will be made available for review and copying only after an Open Records Request has been received and approved. All Open Records Requests must be submitted to the Transportation Cabinet, Office of Legal Services, Transportation Office Building, 200 Metro St, Frankfort, KY 40622, or via kytc.openrecords@ky.gov.
