The Fairdale to Floyds Fork Corridor Shared-Use Path and Ecological Restoration Plan will draw on these guidelines to develop alignment recommendations. Key principles of these guidelines include the following: • Develop an interconnected network of shared-use paths and on-street bikeways that would provide access to all destinations within Metropolitan Louisville. • Develop a complete streets approach that would guide future development to ensure that bicycle facilities as well as accommodations for pedestrians will be integrated into the community. • Design the Louisville Loop to accommodate all types and skill levels of bicyclists, from children and seniors to experienced professionals. • Design the Louisville Loop to accommodate all types of users, including pedestrians and equestrians as well as bicyclists. • Establish regulatory guidelines to meet safety requirements for users. ○ Follow American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) guidelines for design ○ Follow Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) standards for signs, ○ Follow Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) for accessibility standards, and other relevant standards. • Ensure that the design would meet applicable requirements in order to qualify for certain types of funding mechanisms. • Establish aesthetic standards to create a cohesive and unified character throughout the entire Louisville Loop while still allowing variations in distinct segments. ○ Establish consistency in pathway materials, site furnishings, signs, and pavement markings so that consistency is maintained throughout the Louisville Loop. FIGURE 1.3 louisville loop Segment MAP ○ Amenities and support facilities within different areas of the Louisville Loop should also maintain a consistent look.

  • Jeffersonville Honored with Community Achievement Award PRESS
    PRESS RELEASE Contact: Jennifer Simmons September 5, 2014 (317) 294-8528 (m) [email protected] 125 W. Market Street, Suite 240 Indianapolis, IN 46204 www.citiesandtowns.org Jeffersonville Honored with Community Achievement Award INDIANAPOLIS – The Indiana Association of Cities and Towns (IACT) announced the City of Jeffersonville has been named a 2014 IACT Community Achievement Award winner for its Big Four Bridge in the 20,000-50,000 population category. The City will receive its award during the Annual Awards Luncheon presented by Umbaugh, Wednesday, Sept. 10, at the 2014 IACT Annual Conference & Exhibition in Fort Wayne. Jeffersonville’s Big Four Bridge connects the City of Louisville across the Ohio River. Originally built to serve the railway, the bridge was closed in the 1960’s and later deemed “The Bridge to nowhere.” This past May the revitalized bridge was opened to allow pedestrians and bicyclists access to trails and amenities that both Jefferson and Louisville have to offer. The Big Four Station, a park located at the bridge landing is also being revitalized. The new park will feature a cascading water pool designed to mimic the Falls of the Ohio, a pavilion to hold the city’s farmer’s market, a playground, and parking. It will host festivals, concerts and will be the future home of a fall festival, Steamboat Days. The Big Four Bridge and Big Four Station are already drawing a lot of economic development for downtown Jeffersonville. “The opening of the Big Four Bridge has opened up Jeffersonville to a whole new audience. The project has exceeded the vision and we are thrilled for all of the new energy and development that’s occurring as a result,” said Jeffersonville Mayor Mike Moore.
