December 20, 2023 <br />Louisville City Council <br />749 Main Street <br />Louisville, CO 80027 <br />Louisville City Council; <br />E REVIT <br />0 <br />N <br />N <br />0 <br />The Louisville Revitalization Commission (LRC) encourages City Council to consider a <br />temporary closure of Main Street to non -emergency traffic in 2024. The Louisville <br />Downtown Business Association (DBA) recently shared with the LRC the results of <br />three different surveys that it conducted regarding a temporary closure of Main Street to <br />non -emergency traffic. Each of the three surveys indicated at least a 90% support rate <br />for a temporary closure of Main Street. <br />As the Urban Renewal Authority within the City of Louisville, the LRC believes that <br />temporarily closing Main Street would help support the goals of the Highway 42 <br />Revitalization Area Urban Renewal Plan. The purpose of the Highway 42 Urban <br />Revitalization Area Urban Renewal Plan is to reduce, eliminate and prevent the spread <br />of blight within the Urban Renewal Area, and to stimulate growth and reinvestment <br />within the Area boundaries, on surrounding blocks and throughout downtown. <br />Specifically, the LRC feels that closing Main Street to vehicular traffic would support the <br />following objectives within the Urban Renewal Area: <br />• Provide ease of vehicular and pedestrian circulation and improve connections; <br />and <br />• Encourage continued presence of businesses consistent with the plan vision. <br />We encourage you to consider a temporary closure of Main Street to non -emergency <br />traffic in 2024 as this action is anticipated to have a dramatic impact on the vitality of our <br />downtown and its businesses. <br />Sincerely, <br />Lexi Adler <br />Chair <br />Louisville Revitalization Commission <br />Louisville's Urban Renewal Authority <br />749 Main Street I Louisville CO 80027 <br />www.LouisvilleCO.gov <br />Agenda Packet P. 11 <br />
