LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Louisville's downtown has yet to return to foot traffic levels seen before the pandemic.
That's according to a study conducted by the University of Toronto School of Cities.
Researchers looked at 66 downtown cities and compared March through June 2023 with the same period in 2019 before the pandemic.
Louisville ranked 65th out of 66 downtowns, with only St. Louis ranking lower. The study found Louisville was only seeing 54% of the traffic it did before the pandemic.
Researchers used mobile phone data to track foot traffic. It's part of a project at the university exploring "pandemic recovery trajectories across North American cities."
