Public Works is on it... Here's what previous evaluations have returned for four way stops, so I expect the same analysis and conclusion.

Does anyone know why @OlmstedParks502's Cherokee Park has only one place to safely enter its 26,000 foot perimeter and 400 acres, without using a car and finding parking? Can we build some sidewalks & crosswalks? @loukyparks @laylakgeorge @LouisvilleMayor @benforlou8 @LouPubWorks

I am sharing my Budget address tomorrow for Louisville. I personally went through line by line of this budget, understanding the decisions that need to be made to address the urgent priorities of our city.

Main Remade should mimic designs below, or we as a city have failed. A slow street not for getting quickly in/out of downtown — other roads do that. No traffic lights unless they are for BRT — all way stops instead. Protected bike lanes. Wider sidewalks. No center turn lanes!

Its not realistic to expect sensible urban policy decisions from a 400 square mile area containing hundreds of thousands pf people with mostly anti-urban values. At best, policy will get watered down, but more often the things we need to do for a better city will get blocked – at Louisville, KY

Quick search of mayor car deaths finds Melville, LA, Emerson, GA, Columbia, LA, Loureauville, LA, Silex, MO, Maineville, OH, Fairbanks, IA. Louisville may be the largest city where mayor was walking? Check out this article title from 1884 for South Norwalk, CT.

I always wondered what a population density spike map + political map would look like so I had a go at it (in new version of #aerialod) and my verdict is: slightly mad, but quite interesting

Ahem, @benforlou8. This is what we proposed for Eleanor Ave in Douglass, and Public Works said it was impossible.

Y’all… @LouisvilleMayor @LouPubWorks @VisionZero_Lou @LMPD @KYTCDistrict5 @kipda - this is a map of JUST hit and run car crashes since January 2023! We need serious traffic calming across the county like @Streets4Peeps proposes here: streetsforpeople.org/policie…

Here's the @VisionZero_Lou dashboard, currently updated through July 2023. I don't think hit and runs are tracked. arcgis.com/apps/dashboards/f… You can see it on the KY State Police website: 3,280 hit & run crash reports in 2023 so far, 14 deaths, 344 injured. crashinformationky.org/Advan…

Reason why the Comprehensive Review Commission and report they publish is important: The bill says their report can recommend the state make many changes to the city's leadership, taxes, funding, & service distribution. apps.legislature.ky.gov/law/… Comment: louisvilleky.gov/government/…
House Bill 314 states that the report published by the Comprehensive Review Commission can then recommend the state make internal or statutory changes to: - [ ] the roles and duties of the Louisville mayor - [ ] intergovernmental relations - [ ] tax powers and funding - [ ] distribution and provision of governmental services - [ ] future of the relationship between the Louisville Metro Government and the suburban cities

(5) The duties of the Louisville Metro Comprehensive Review Commission shall include but are not limited to: (a) A searching and thorough review of the accomplishments and insufficiencies, if any, of the consolidated local government model of government and recommendations for any statutory changes; (b) A thorough review of the roles and duties of the mayor of the Consolidated Local Government and the legislative council of Louisville/Jefferson County Metro Government as it relates to duties, oversight, budgeting, and administration of the Louisville Metro Government and any recommendations for alleviation of issues and disputes via either internal changes or statutory changes; (c) A thorough review of intergovernmental relations between the Louisville Metro Government and the suburban cities and special service districts within the consolidated local government's jurisdiction and any recommendations for alleviation of issues and insufficiencies via either internal changes or statutory

For the 3rd highest zip code, 40299, Jeffersontown and eastward, it's even more extreme. Downtown's 40202 generates 4x as much occupational license tax, 24x as much per person, and 147x more per land area! City services cost way more in the suburbs, vs more productive land use.
