Memorandum TO: The Louisville Revitalization Commission FROM: Joliette Woodson, PE Public Works Project Manager and Troy Russ, AICP, Planning and Building Safety RE: Final Design Concepts for the 42 Gateway DATE: June 10, 2013 The Gateway connecting Downtown Louisville to the Highway 42 Revitalization District is advancing through the final design process. The City has received 30% design comments and approval from the Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) Rail Line. The project is now moving through the 60% design process. The goal of the project’s design effort is to have the drawings completed and approved by BNSF and the Public Utilities Commission (PUC) so that construction can be completed by the end of 2014. BNSF requires complete design documentation for their 60% submittal review. As a result, the City is advancing the final design effort so that drawings can be submitted to BNSF in August of this year. The team has initiated the PUC application process and hopes to bring approved construction plans to a PUC public hearing by the end of 2013. Attached to this communication are two final design concepts for the LRC and public to review and make suggestions on prior to staff advancing a final recommendation to the Louisville City Council on July 16, 2013. Staff is requesting the LRC review the two attached alternative design concepts and evaluate the three basic components of each design: the architecture, the hardscape and plant material. Staff will facilitate an interactive discussion with both the LRC, and later that evening with the public, to improve the design concepts prior to City Council review and ultimate selection of a preferred concept.
