The Broken Sidewalk blog provides details about an ongoing plan to transform Louisville's low volume streets into "Neighborways."
Broken Sidewalk blogger SushiK describes the thinking behind the "Neighborways" plan thusly: "Louisville, like a lot of cities, has many options besides expressways and arterials, including secondary connector streets, low-traffic alleys, and quieter neighborhood streets which can provide a lower-stress transportation experience. If you can connect these secondary-street routes and provide innovative infrastructure improvements to calm traffic further, a new network of bike routes can take shape, a concept typically called a 'bike boulevard' in many cities."
The city’s bike department, Bike Louisville, is well under way with the first phase of the Neighborways plan—to add sharrows to 100 miles of streets in the city. Moreover, "Phase II was recently approved by Metro Council, and will begin soon with a focus on creating wayfinding signage so system users can find their way through the network and connect to important “nodes” or destinations along the way."
And for an early proof-of-concept, one of "Louisville’s first Neighborways to come online is a route that connects the University of Louisville with the Highlands by avoiding busy Eastern Parkway."
