Master plan runs afoul of KIPDA
By Gary Mills;
The U of L Board of Trustees, in its
regular monthly meeting Monday,
passed a resolution to support an
extension of Eastern Parkway to the
south of campus.
A committee of the Kentucky­Indiana
Planning and Development
Agency (KIPDA) had n~commended
that Eastern Parkway be extended
from Third Street to Algonquin
Parkway.
The university wants Eastern Park­way
extended along a southern route
which would connect it with Winkler
Ave. KIPDA's proposal would leave
Eastern Parkway in the middle of
campus. This would disrupt the
university's masterplan which calls for
Eastern Parkway to become part of a
university loop.
The loop would be closed to
non-university traffic.
Board member and Student Govern­ment
Association president Stephen
Phelps complained about the lack of
consideration the university was
getting from the city about the dangers
for U of L students crossing Eastern
Parkway.
significance that the rapid growth of
the university has had and will have on
the community.'' Miller said the traffic
congestion on Eastern Parkway was
not going to improve.
"The projections made by KIPDA
indicates the traffic at that intersection
will double by 1990," said Miller.
Some concern was expressed as to
whether the master plan for Belknap
Campus could be completed without
more cooperation from the city and
county governments. Trustee Skip
Grafton said, "If the city of
Louisville's political leadership doesn't
want us here and the community
doesn't want us here, it is beautiful out
at ·Shelby Campus."
"If the masterplan can't · be
implemented we should be moved. I
don't want to move but if no one cares
we're going to have to move," he
added.
masterplan in the garbage can and tell
the people of Louisville, don't send
your children here anymore: because we
have to move."
Tl)e board asked that the president
continue to confer with community
and planning agency leaders and report
on any progress at the trustees' May
meeting.
