The plan could lead to different street designs and policy and enforcement changes, all apart of Louisville's vision of zero roadway deaths by 2050.

Louisville Metro Government awarded contracts to two companies tasked with studying the walkability of downtown and the nearby NuLu district.

According to Vision Zero's Louisville Dashboard, since the start of the year, Louisville has had 62 deaths on public roads. And that's excluding crashes on interstates.

On Tuesday, the Kentucky Department of Transportation showed off plans that will transform the road leading to Whiskey Row, Main Street.

The study, a joint effort by Louisville Metro Government and the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet and prepared by Palmer Engineering, is called Vision Zero Louisville.
