Visionary Mayor John Norquist to speak to Metro Council's 8664 committee
Please invite your fellow 8664 supporters and join us this Monday (28th) at 5 pm at Metro Hall. Milwaukee's former Mayor John Norquist will be in town to describe how Milwaukee overcame opposition and removed the elevated Park East Freeway from the banks of the Milwaukee River. Mayor Norquist is a big thinker and dynamic speaker you won't want to miss. He's now the CEO of the Congress for the New Urbanism (www.CNU.org), a nationally recognized organization promoting walkable, neighborhood-based development as an alternative to sprawl.
Location: Metro Hall, 601 W. Jefferson Street, 3rd floor. After 5pm, use 6th Street entrance.
An editorial promoting 8664
Too bad it had to come from Sacramento, CA. Editor David Holwerk said the new Bridges Project looks like "a highway contractor's dream and a livable city's nightmare." He described 8664 as "a growing grass-roots movement in Louisville to reroute the interstates and bring the city back in touch with its river heritage."
