• Abstract:
  The City of Frankfort, Kentucky’s Second Street Corridor project is an example of how local governments and State departments of transportation (DOTs) can address safety needs during the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) process (figure 1). The City of Frankfort received Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery (TIGER) funds in 2018 to implement Complete Streets elements and a Road Diet along the Second Street Corridor (U.S. 60). The project’s objective was to create a safer travel experience for all users, boost economic development in a distressed neighborhood, and allow for placemaking opportunities. This case study explains how safety was considered prior to, and incorporated into, the NEPA process. The scope of the project in this case study demonstrates that improving safety performance can also advance environmental stewardship and elevate communities where environmental justice (EJ) considerations are a motivating factor for transportation investments (City of Frankfort, 2017).
