Tribune editorial: Build the East End bridge, re-evaluate the Downtown bridge, and annoy the hell out of 1SI by disagreeing.

Can Southern Indiana take the lead in fighting the proposed madness?

TRIBUNE EDITORIAL: Bridges plan not worth any cost

While the East End Bridge is worked on let’s discuss how the remaining parts of the plan can be modified or pared to implement a 21st century-worthy plan that doesn’t heap more vehicles and concrete on our landscape. We support the concept of a greener economy as a nation and we hope our region can lead the way with innovation such as enhanced public transportation. (Instead of letting the current regional transit authority cut service.) Many ideas and options are more feasible now than they were when this project began.

and while we try to figure out what to do with the automobile crossings let's open the K&I bridge to bicycles. Every day on the way home from work I look at that bridge and think about how easy it would be to get to our shop on 6th and York if i could just ride my bike across.
