May Hang Session + More!

[Chris Glasser]

Good Evening!

Quick note to let everyone know that we'll be having our May meet-up this upcoming Wednesday, May 17 at 8:00pm at the Canary Club in Shelby Park. 

On April 27, Mayor Greenberg shared his proposed FY23-24 budget for Metro Government. We'll be talking about what's in it (and what's not) for street safety projects.

A couple other items of note:

1) Metro and KYTC are hosting a meeting on May 25 at 6:00pm at the Shelby Park Community Center to review plans for the Logan/Shelby Street two-way conversion project. (Details here.) Come on out!

2) We'd love to hear about what advocacy priorities you're interested in. We made a quick survey and it's just three short questions. Please let us know what you think: https://tinyurl.com/2023s4psurvey

Looking forward to seeing everyone next Wednesday in Shelby Park!

Best,

Chris

Thanks to everyone who made it out last night. I wanted to follow-up quickly on our budget chat with a few resources.

On the Metro side of things…

• Here is Mayor Greenberg’s proposed FY23-24 budget (238 pages): https://louisvilleky.gov/government/management-budget/fy24-budget 

• From that proposed budget, I’ve pulled out the proposed Capital Projects Budget (3 pages): https://www.streetsforpeople.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Mayors-Recommended-Budget-Capital-Projects-FY23-24.pdf

On the KYTC side of things…

• Here is the 2022 Six-Year State Highway Plan (152 pages): https://transportation.ky.gov/Program-Management/Pages/2022-Enacted-Highway-Plan.aspx 

• From that list, here are the projects that KYTC has planned for Jefferson County (10 pages): https://www.streetsforpeople.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/KYTC-Six-Year-Highway-Plan-FY22-28.pdf 

If you’re curious about how KIPDA fits into all this, here’s a little explainer I wrote on what KIPDA is and how it works: https://www.streetsforpeople.org/resources/kipda-reference-guide/ 

  

Lastly, as mentioned last night, here is our 2023 Streets for People Advocacy Survey: https://tinyurl.com/2023s4p

We’d love your feedback, to know what projects and policies are important to you!!

Best,

Chris
