PRE -IMPLEMENTATION CONCEPTS <br />TEST PROJECTS <br />The City of Louisville and the LRC have a desire to craft a long-term strategic plan, <br />but also have more immediate concerns to address. While work can begin on a <br />long-range visioning process, test projects and trial opportunities allow City <br />Council and the LRC Board an opportunity to expand community dialogue while <br />trying out some ideas that could have an immediate impact and fulfill the <br />collective vision for the city. <br />BIG CONCEPTS + CATALYST SITES <br />During the strategy meeting and the Louisville Assessment process, several <br />big projects emerged as priorities. The group reviewed opportunity sites that <br />have been identified in the urban renewal area as unique opportunities for the <br />City to leverage assets for a greater impact. The DCI Assessment Team <br />discussed options for shaping the future of these sites during a walking and <br />driving tour, as well as through activities in our meeting, and determined a <br />short list of projects that can be catalytic in furthering the community <br />priorities. <br />TYPES OF IMPROVEMENT <br />Over the course of discussion, the DCI Team heard ideas for improvements in <br />the following categories. Some ideas for how to define the categories are <br />included to foster discussion around how to operationalize ideas for working in <br />each category. <br />1) PRIVATE SECTOR INCENTIVES. <br />+ Identifying components of the City's vision that would benefit from <br />private sector investment. <br />+ Establishing co investment strategies that encourage the private <br />sector to implement projects that support the public vision. <br />2) PUBLIC SPACE ENHANCEMENTS. <br />+ Locating underutilized or unique opportunity sites. <br />+ Establishing concepts to activate places or invite locals to "leave a <br />love note". <br />3) SAFETY + MULTI -MODAL TRANSPORTATION. <br />+ Considering local use for access by foot, bike, or other non vehicular <br />mobility. <br />+ Identifying opportunities for enhancing use of the downtown area by <br />people over private vehicles. <br />LOUISVILLE REVITALIZATION COMMISSION CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION DOWNTOWN COLORADO, INC. www.downtowncoloradoinc.org PA24 <br />
