LCityof <br />Louisville <br />COLORADO • SINCE 1878 <br />VII. Update on South Street Underpass. Allan Gill presented updates on South Street <br />underpass and current plans for landscaping and hardscaping in conjunction with Burlington <br />Northern Railroad development. The Board adopted all four of the Parks and Recreation <br />Department suggestions, yet concerns were raised about building and landscape materials <br />and inconsistent landscaping to other existing areas of Louisville.
