EXECUTIVE SUMMARYACKNOWLEDGEMENTSAttempts to revitalize 4th Street have taken numerous forms over the past several
decades. Over this time period, it has evolved from a premier commercial corridor
lined with shops and businesses, to a pedestrian mall, to an enclosed mall, to
an entertainment district. With the success of 4th Street Live!, the Downtown
Development Corporation (DDC) is now focused on creating a new downtown
neighborhood along 4th Street between Muhammad Ali to Broadway. This stretch
of 4th Street features an emerging mix of uses including buildings rehabbed into
condominiums, restaurants, retail storefronts, and historic theaters and hotels. The
DDC is actively recruiting retailers and master leasing a stretch of storefronts to
breathe additional life into the corridor and there are additional infill plans in place
that would bring hotels and public space to the corridor.
Today, the 4th Street streetscape is a challenging mix of poorly installed materials,
failing street trees and difficult to access on-street parking. The design for 4th
Street supports the renewed focus on retail, infill development and street level
activity along 4th Street by doing the following:
• Replacingpoorlyinstalledpavementinfavorofsimple,highquality
concrete with finish and granite curb.
• Retainingwidesidewalksthatallowforsitting,strolling,sidewalkdining
and generally encourage storefronts to spill out onto the sidewalk and
activate the street.
• Realigningthestreettoremovethefinalvestigesofthepedestrianmall
and allow for parking on both sides of the street, instead of just one.
• Plantinglarge,highcanopy,appropriatespeciesstreettreesinbumpout
plantersthatprovideadequatesoilvolumestoallowforhealthy,large
trees that provide shade, define the street edge, and slow traffic.
• Installingperviouspaversintheon-streetparkinglanestoallowforon-

Thissimple,timeless,highqualitystreetscapewillenable4thStreettoonceagain
function as an urban retail street. Doing so will make 4th Street more attractive to
existing and future retailers and developers allow the storefronts and the eclectic
mix of architecture to be the focus of the street.

4TH STREETS REGIONAL IMPORTANCE
Fourth Street is a critical north-south connector between Downtown
Louisville and the University of Louisville and Churchill Downs. With these
improvements, the important anchors, such as the Brown Hotel, the Palace
Theater and the Derby Clock will be better connected to downtown and 4th
Street Live!. It also helps to attract people across Broadway from SoBro
and Old Louisville.
This new streetscape will hopefully also set the stage for future work
along the corridor where gaps in activity and the urban fabric exist. On
either end of this project, there is a need for additional improvements.
To the north, there are connectivity issues between 4th Street Live!, the
Convention Center and the Riverfront, and to the south, there are significant
opportunities for infill development along the corridor as it makes its
way through Old Louisville to the University. With these general design
principles in place, the 4th Street corridor could once again become a
premier street with Downtown Louisville and beyond.

1 STREET + 6 SPACES = ONE NEW DISTRICT
PROJECT OVERVIEW 1
Embedded in the design of 4th Street is the understanding that the
streetscape needs to enable redevelopment of adjacent public and
private parcels. First and foremost, the design creates the ideal
environment for an urban retail corridor. On-street parking, ample
sidewalks and a green tree canopy makes the street more inviting and
active. The simplified approach both in design and materials makes
4th Street inherently flexible, allowing for the diverse needs of building
users. The design supports hotel valet needs, sidewalk dining, and other
building uses that depend on street level interaction. Along the corridor
there are also opportunities for public spaces, and the streetscape
elements can be peeled back to allow those uses (such as the Derby
Clock and the proposed Happy Birthday Park) to embrace the street.
Finally there are ample opportunities for infill development along the
corridor to bring buildings back to the street edge and fill in the gaps
along 4th Street. Throughout all of these unique locations and uses,
the streetscape is design to be flexible enough to accommodate the
revitalization of the corridor.

PHASE ONE: NORTH BLOCK
PHASE TWO: NORTH BLOCK
PHASE THREE: SOUTH BLOCK
The planning team has developed a plan for 4th Street improvements that enables the project
to be phased in over time. To accommodate the retail storefront tenants that will be moving in
this spring, the west side of the north block has been the first phase implemented. Subsequent
phases will take place as funding becomes available. Special attention should be paid in
phasing this project to accommodate and match the construction projects that are planned
as part of infill redevelopment and building reuse so that streetscape improvements coincide
with other work. Timing will be critical to ensure that streetscape work is not damaged by
construction of surrounding parcels and buildings. Taken together, this new streetscape for
4th Street will encourage and support the redevelopment efforts that are well underway along
this key urban corridor.
