The next Open Studio session focused on transit corridors will be on Wednesday, July 24th at the Urban Design Studio with Louisville Metro. How an we better utilize these important corridors throughout our community? udstudio.org/stories/open-s…

Louisville's TARC is facing having to cut service 50% if there is no new funding. We've drawn two contrasting concepts showing ways to do this. These access diagrams show the effect of each concept on access from various locations. 1/

I hope the new study can shine a light on some of the past plans for the area that had great ideas that were never realized. I was a kid in Philly when there was a proposal for a treed median on Northwest Parkway. Had that been done then, there would be a lush tree canopy today.

I always envisioned the Field Notes of the UofL Urban Design Studio to be a place to share thoughts and ideas about cities from a variety of voices, and today I'm excited to share a great piece of writing by Caleb Brooks. Please enjoy. udstudio.org/stories/speed-…

Today is a two-fer in the UDS Field Notes. Along with Caleb Brook's piece on speeding and historic preservation, our own Sean Willis 🚲 🚌 uncovers some of the history surrounding A New Vision of Health Campus in the heart of downtown. udstudio.org/stories/the-hi…

The Market Street streetscape revitalization project we were prototyping that day finally started construction this year, though sadly Olmsted's treed median component did not make it into the final redesign. udstudio.org/projects/tacti…

Is this a new impound lot downtown? What is with the razor wire? The new metal angled fence wasn’t enough?

The next Society of Urban Perambulators (SouP) event will be in the booming NULU commercial district on Nov. 16th. If you are interested in joining us on this free urbanist walk, please send me a message so I can add you to the RSVP list. udstudio.org/stories/soup-n…

It was great to spend Saturday at the Trager MicroForest and see trees going in. So many more trees on the way!

Another great urbanist walking tour in the books. Sharing different corners of our community with the people who live in and work to make them better has been energizing and gives hope for the future of our city. Here is a recap from our NULU expedition. udstudio.org/stories/explor…

New lighting is up at the Trager MicroForest. Soon the rest of the 65 trees and pathway will be complete and the ground lighting will really set the space off. Cannot wait to get the space open again!

Ground effects lighting test in the MicroForest today!

Some work we started at the UofL Urban Design Studio during the pandemic to map the historic corner store buildings, the cornerstones of our communities, was featured in Planning Magazine. planning.org/planning/2025/…

What if we could really green downtown? If I play with it some more I’d make the south lanes going the other way to restore the 2-way street. #greenprint #Louisville

With the recent news of plans for the historic OddFellows building site, I was reminded of a piece I wrote back in 2021 that essentially asked, "what will future generations of Louisvillians think about what we have left them?" udstudio.org/stories/regret…

Join David Toda, Morgan Dunay and I this Saturday at 10 am for coffee, conversation and a tour of the Trager MicroForest. The event is free but space is limited, so please register via the link.

How do we make Downtown Louisville’s public spaces feel more connected and create a great pedestrian experience? The UDS just posted a study we are calling the Downtown Open Space Network to try to jumpstart the conversation. udstudio.org/stories/louisv…
