Louisville Loop Master Plan loopmasterplan_draft_041813sm_0 | Page 69

Action Steps
The following action steps represent the necessary measures to pursue in the years following adoption of the plan to assure the Louisville Loop establishes itself as founda-
tion for the overall quality of life in Louisville. The action items consist of a combination of priorities identified in the Louisville Loop Strategic Plan, Louisville Loop segment
master plans, discussions from the Louisville Loop Work Group, and community feedback. The common theme among these items addresses capital investments or more
long-term strategic elements that will require greater resources and technical knowledge to implement. The items are not prioritized nor are there costs associated with the
item. The principle agency responsible for each action item has been identified. Successful implementation will require greater strategic planning and project management
to assure the milestones are met. A critical function on a recurring basis will be regular evaluation of this plan and identification of performance measures to gauge the
Loop’s impact on the community. This will require not only the review of the following action items, but the complementary items in the supporting documents mentioned in
Chapter 3.
