Transportation Cabinet to Hold Second Public Meeting for Potential Improvements to KY 1931 Corridor in Jefferson County

Aug. 14 meeting seeks comments on potential safety, mobility changes

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (July 31, 2025) A transportation safety study 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.

This study includes a full analysis of existing conditions along the corridor that will be used to develop practical solutions and improvement concepts to boost roadway safety and improve multi-modal transportation options. 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.

The public is invited to attend the second meeting on Thursday, Aug. 14, to receive information and provide feedback. The public meeting will be an open-house event (no formal presentation) held from 5 to 7 p.m. at the South Louisville Community Center, 2911 Taylor Boulevard, Louisville, KY. Representatives from the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, Louisville Metro Government, and the project team will be in attendance to answer questions. Those who are interested may drop in any time to receive handouts containing project information and fill out comment sheets. An online survey will also be available following the public meeting through Sunday, Sept. 14, 2025.

Input received from the Aug. 14 meeting and survey efforts will be compiled and considered as potential concepts are further developed. A final report is expected to be published by the end of 2025.

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.
