"You deserve a street that is safe, enjoyable, and pleasant" - Complete Streets in Louisville, KY

By Ebony Venson, Smart Growth America, February 15, 2022

“I think no matter what part of town you live in, you deserve a street that is safe, that is enjoyable, that is pleasant” – Jackie Cobb, Louisville resident and advocate.

Our latest video tells the story of how the city’s relatively new Complete Streets ordinance is providing the guide for city leaders, advocates, and neighbors to build safer streets that can alleviate historic disparities, connect people to vital resources, and create a transportation culture that the community can be proud of. Recent changes have sparked excitement for further changes and provided a taste of what’s possible in more areas of the city.

Complete Streets are streets for everyone—designed and managed to prioritize safety, comfort, and access to destinations for all people who need to use a street.

Produced by the National Complete Streets Coalition at Smart Growth America, with the support and partnership of CityHealth. Look for other stories about Pittsburgh (released 2/9/22) and Tucson (2/22/22) on our channel. Learn more by finding us on the web and Twitter:
