Urban Collage, in collaboration with Louisville Metro Planning & Design and several cities in the area, has recently completed a plan for continued improvement of the Westport Road Corridor in eastern Louisville.   The plan calls for preserving and enhancing open space, creating significant ped/bike improvements and taming the character of Westport Road.   The community, home to strong neighborhoods, sought to create three walkable “village” commercial centers along the corridor’s length.
