About this tag

Preston Street simply stops at the railroad here, and this long pedestrian bridge is the official way across. Louisville’s corridor plan calls it the only pedestrian crossing at this break in Preston and recommends improving it after other options proved much harder. The layout also explains the temptation to ignore all those stairs and take the very illegal straight line across the tracks instead. Neighbors have pushed for a replacement or redesign too, citing cracked supports and years of poor maintenance.
