Transportation Cabinet to Hold Public Meeting Nov. 12 for U.S. 42 (Mellwood Avenue/Story Avenue) Improvements in Jefferson County

Public invited to review and comment on roadway configurations

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (Oct. 25, 2024) The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) will hold a public meeting Nov. 12 to update residents and gather input on roadway configurations planned for a highway safety improvement project on U.S. 42 (Mellwood Avenue/Story Avenue) in Jefferson County.

Three sections of the U.S. 42 corridor will soon undergo new traffic configurations as part of a highway safety improvement project. Changes include the one-way to two-way traffic conversions of U.S. 42 (Story Avenue) from Main Street to Spring Street and U.S. 42 (Mellwood Avenue) from Baxter Avenue to Spring Street. Additional improvements include traffic flow changes on U.S. 42 (Story Avenue) from U.S. 42 (Brownsboro Road) to Frankfort Avenue. The purpose of the project is to improve safety along the identified sections.    

The meeting will be a public open house event from 5 to 7 p.m. in Room #4 at Butchertown Market, 1201 Story Avenue, Louisville, Ky. Those who are interested may drop in any time to review roadway configurations, receive handouts containing project information, and fill out comment sheets.

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 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.
