This provides a safe pedestrian/bicycle gateway connection between downtown and the urban renewal area at the South Street intersection and under the BNSF railroad. It will also help redevelop the urban renewal area. Staff estimates a project cost for the South Street Gateway to be $2.9 million. The reason for the amendment to the Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) between the City and the Louisville Revitalization Commission (LRC) is the City has not executed a construction agreement with the BNSF railroad for the needed improvements to the rail line and will not meet the termination deadline of April 1 , 2014 prescribed in the original IGA.
