Export

Cartky.org provides news about transportation in Kentucky and Southern Indianna. 'Export' stories are important enough that 'aggregator' sites will want to carry them.

Construction begins on Brownsboro Road Diet

Update: Story is false. Retraction.

Construction trucks were on Brownsboro Road wednesday, presumably working on the road diet.

Construction has begun on a sidewalk linking people and businesses in the Clifton and Clifton Heights neighborhoods. Space for the sidewalk was created by narrowing Brownsboro Road from 4 travel lanes to 3 - a 'road diet'. This is a key technique for creating walkable and bikeable neighborhoods, and we hope that as soon as this project is seen as a success, we can start to look at road diets elsewhere too.

Activists gather after the Metro Council vote approving the road diet. The diet was approved unanimously.

Report Close Calls on Foot or Bike

Louisville Metro Government has a new web reporting tool you can use to report "close calls" on the road. The data you enter will be used to "assess potential conflict points and the frequency of near misses at these locations".

I plan to use this to report things like bullying crosswalk behavior - the sort of incident that is reckless, but something the police can't do anything with. If there's contact, or immediate danger, call 911.

Last Chance to Have Your Say on the Ohio River Bridges Project

The Ohio River Bridges project prioritizes car & truck dependence for the region at the cost of all other transportation alternatives. Your last chance to tell the government to find us better options is now through July 13. Follow this link and let them know what you think of their three options, none of which include significant increases to public transit service.

Diet & Feast!

Firsty, the Brownsboro Sidewalk & Road Diet is up for final approval by Metro Council. Clifton [Heights] Community Councils are calling for public turn-out at the meetings, to hold signs and wear stickers. Be there or send the council a message of support.
