Louisville Metro seeks public input on neighborhood truck traffic

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) — The Louisville Metro Department of Transportation is asking residents to weigh in on truck traffic in their neighborhoods.

City officials hosted a community meeting Tuesday to discuss a new plan designed to keep large trucks out of residential streets while ensuring freight continues to move efficiently.

The department wants to hear directly from residents about the impact of trucks. Officials are asking people to report problems such as trucks traveling at night, vibrations that shake homes, or property damage caused by large vehicles making wide turns.

"We want to know if you hear trucks going through your neighborhood in the middle of the night that wake you up," said Dustin Duncan, with Louisville Metro DOT. "If you have damage due to vibrations, if you have property damage due to trucks taking wide turns."

Louisville residents can share their feedback through an online survey, available now.

The initiative is part of the city’s effort to balance neighborhood safety and livability with the region’s freight needs.
