Vision Statement (Draft)

New Cut Road/Taylor Boulevard Corridor Study

 

Vision Statement

 

 

Residents of Southwest Louisville envision their neighborhoods as a community with tremendous potential. With a culture rooted in the land-use aesthetics of Fredrick Law Olmsted’s Iroquois Park and Southern Parkway, the New Cut Road/Taylor Boulevard Corridor is prime for developing the boulevard concept.

 

Neighborhood and business areas are interspersed, affording the opportunity to cluster activities, develop appropriate signage and attract supporting businesses.

 

Safe neighborhoods that embrace the culture of the corridor are priorities for the community. We seek to reinvest in the infrastructure and housing stock of our neighborhoods, while preserving our cultural heritage.

 

Advisory Committee participants proffer these core values:

 

TRANSPORTATION

A safe and efficient parkway that is inviting, manages congestion and considers all users.

 

LOCAL ECONOMY

A vibrant local economy where business owners are invested in a public/private partnership, and foster the unique diversity of the corridor.

 

SIGNAGE & APPEARANCE

A green, vibrant, inviting and livable appearance that welcomes visitors and residents alike with clear signage that is consistent, functional, and easy to navigate. 

 

GREEN INITIATIVES

A redefined corridor freed of utility obstruction that supports bike and pedestrian improvements, adaptive reuse of structures, and environmental improvements through unified plantings.

 

LIVABILITY/ZONING/HOUSING

A well thought out neighborhood plan that sustains the value of the community. To include:

  • Pedestrian friendliness
  • Safety  (Crosswalks – Lighting – Up-to-date traffic control)
  • Senior living housing
  • Encouragement of new investment through zoning

 

HISTORIC ASPECTS

Identified key historic features that define the area and preserve those concepts in future development.
