The design for McCaslin Boulevard will need to address the <br />conditions at this particular crossing location as well as integrate with existing pedestrian crossing <br />standards throughout Louisville. <br /> <br />Currently, the Public Works Engineering Division is developing several concepts to present to the City <br />Manager for direction on how to proceed. OSAB is well aware that plans for how to improve the <br />crossing at this location has shifted over the years and there is significant public interest in this <br />pedestrian crossing. Staff needs to review all of this information with the City Manager before <br />proceeding. <br /> <br />Once the project is given the green light to move forward, staff will hire a traffic engineer to further <br />develop the conceptual ideas and will then seek input from OSAB and the public. Feel free to contact <br />Kathy Kron with Parks and Recreation or Craig Duffin with Public Works (contact information below) for <br />updates on the progress of the project. Staff will return to OSAB when the concepts for the pedestrian <br />crossing are ready for public input. <br /> <br />Kathy Kron <br />Craig Duffin <br /> <br />(303) 335-4736 <br />(303) 335-4602 <br /> <br />kathvk@louisvilleco.aov <br />craiad@louisvilleco.aov <br />
