Prepared by National Research Center, Inc. City of Louisville Community Survey <br /> June 2020 <br /> <br />Report of Results <br /> 4 <br />While Louisville residents give exceptionally high ratings to the City’s <br />transportation system, they are also in support of funding improvements. <br /> About 9 in 10 residents gave excellent or good scores to ease of walking, car travel, and bicycle travel <br />in Louisville, while more than 8 in 10 were pleased with the overall safety and quality of Louisville’s <br />Transportation System. About 8 in 10 survey respondents gave excellent or good ratings to traffic flow <br />on major streets and two-thirds gave favorable marks to the ease of bus travel in the City. Compared <br />to other jurisdictions across the nation and in the Front Range, Louisville’s scores were much higher. <br /> Street maintenance in Louisville was one of the lower-rated services, with about 6 in 10 giving <br />excellent or good reviews. Additionally, compared to 2016, ratings in 2020 decreased and have been <br />declining since 2012. However, evaluations of street maintenance in L ouisville tended to be much <br />higher compared to national and Front Range peers. <br /> When prioritizing aspects of the community for the City to focus on, about 9 in 10 residents rated <br />Transportation (e.g., safe/well-maintained multi-modal transportation system) as a high or medium <br />priority, with about 5 in 10 saying it was a high priority. <br /> Residents of Louisville were asked to indicate their level of support for a property tax increase of <br />approximately $150 - $200 per year on a $500,000 home to help provide funding to implement a <br />number of transportation projects in the City (e.g., pedestrian underpasses in key locations, pedestrian <br />signals/enhanced pedestrian crossings, paths and bikeways, street and road improvements to address <br />traffic congestion). About three-quarters of residents supported a property tax increase for this <br />purpose, with about one-third in strong support; only about one-quarter of residents opposed this tax <br />increase.
