Abstract

Across the United States, roadway projects have often devastated disadvantaged neighborhoods, which makes the story of the Newtown Pike Extension Project (NPEP) in Lexington, KY, unique. As early as 1931 road and park construction were suggested as catalysts to improve housing in an area that included a historical low-income neighborhood, Davis Bottom (DB).
