t The 42 Gateway <br />Downtown Connection <br />A pedestrian underpass beneath the BNSF railroad at <br />South St. was identified as a key element in the 2006 <br />Hwy. 42 Urban Renewal Area Plan and a high priority <br />public improvement project. At that time, very <br />conceptual graphics were created to illustrate: <br />• where potential RTD commuter rail facilities <br />would be located and how the underpass would be <br />necessary for rider circulation and access <br />• the relative size and level of impact that an <br />underpass would have on the road network <br />and adjacent properties <br />• the catalytic effect that a public infrastructure <br />project could have on the redevelopment area <br />• improvements to the city grid and limited existing <br />connectivity across the tracks <br />While these concepts helped illustrate a possible future, <br />they were produced without the accurate survey data, <br />railroad- specific regulations, and level of analysis that <br />have been generated as part of this project. Further <br />analysis revealed a heavily constrained site that required <br />a more creative solution than previously depicted. <br />'.L Cityof <br />`` Louisville <br />Redevelopment <br />Area <br />
