More Evidence 8664.org Is A Smart Idea
By now, you should know we are fans of the 8664.org proposal. If you ask us, it just makes too much sense, saves too much money, and steers Louisville’s future growth in a direction that would provide for a real urban, vibrant, and livable city. But as we continue down the road of outdated 20th century planning, we’re more and more going to be associated with mega-mistakes of the past.We’ve been compiling a set of links that demonstrate some of the reasons 8664.org is the right way to go. The issues surrounding such a massive idea are diverse and complicated, so it takes a lot to get through. We highly recommend you check out an article by the Urbanophile about 8664.org, as well, for background, commentary, and convincing arguments. You can see our previous coverage of this issue here. Each article linked below is worthwhile and expands on the point we’re trying to make.
New Albany is a state of mind … but whose? Since 2004, we’ve been observing the contemporary scene in this slowly awakening old river town. If it’s true that a pre-digital stopped clock is right twice a day, when will New Albany learn to tell time?

Broken Sidewalk: "More Evidence 8664.org Is A Smart Idea."
Too good to miss ... from the Broken Sidewalk blog:
What I've found interesting is that anytime someone sees the 8664 sign in my yard, they ask what it's about. When I explain it, encourage them to go to the website, etc...they inevitably say "Well, that makes sense". It just seems that not enough people know about 8664 or the bridges project overall.
