What is a neighborhood plan?

 

Neighborhood plans are intended to address the planning needs and policy goals of a community. They allow a community to become proactive in response to neighborhood issues and concerns as opposed to reactive. The plan must be prepared in accordance with Chapter 161 of the Louisville Metro Code of Ordinances. The process is guided by an advisory group, whose members are tasked with identifying important neighborhood issues, engaging with the community, and providing input to the planning team on the direction and recommendations of the plan.

 

Cherokee Triangle & Bonnycastle Neighborhoods Plan

 

The Cherokee Triangle and Bonnycastle Neighborhoods Plan is an opportunity for two historic Highlands neighborhoods to envision a more connected, healthy, authentic, sustainable, and equitable future. This plan brings together these adjacent neighborhoods, which are situated between two of Louisville’s most iconic spaces: Bardstown Road and Cherokee Park. The plan was initiated by Councilman Brandon Coan (D-8), in partnership with the Cherokee Triangle Association and Bonnycastle Homestead Association.

 

This plan aims to strike a delicate balance between preserving the rich history of these neighborhoods while developing a proactive strategy for continued success and evolution. To achieve this goal, the planning team will engage the community throughout the planning process, with the help of the Cherokee Triangle Association, Bonnycastle Homestead Association, and plan advisory group.
