2019 Revitalization Commission Questionnaire <br />Page 3 of 5 <br />LCityof <br />Louisville <br />COLORADO SINCE 1878 <br />3. Describe your understanding of the Highway 42 Revitalization Area Plan. <br />The hand drawn "Vicinity Map" of the Highway 42 Revitalization Area included on the city's website touches <br />my heart and clearly indicates how this plan is the centerpiece for the city, and so much more than a linear <br />corridor. I have celebrated the success of the Steel Ranch, North End, Alfalfa's and DELO, the opening of <br />the pedestrian underpass, suffered the failed promise of FasTracks to bring rail to the city, and <br />commiserated with the challenges presented to the implementation of Quiet Zones and improved RTD <br />service. <br />City leaders have been envisioning and investing in revitalizing the Highway 42 area for nearly three <br />decades - holding the vision and long view that a mixed use, transit oriented neighborhood which is an <br />extension of downtown can be realized to generate day and night time activity, sales tax revenue, public <br />improvements, and provide the groundwork for the future commuter rail station. I appreciate the planning, <br />investments and tenacity required to take on the challenges of highway, railroad and natural barriers which <br />are the lifeline and edges to the city. <br />The 42 Gateway Plan, South Boulder Road Small Area Plan and Transportation Plan Update all continue <br />the legacy and investment of the original Highway 42 Revitalization Plan. <br />50 <br />
