8664: Rollover Louisville!



I think it's probably well established by now that my own thoughts pretty much align with a recent online commenter who said, "Un_ _ _ _ ing believable. When will this community wake up? When will they take back their power and be afforded a say in their waterfront's future?" But hey, I have a "unique ability to piss people off and be unproductive" so don't take my word for it.

Cruise on over to 8664 and get a gander of this and several other before and after rollover images of a post-ORBP waterfront for your self.

    As a heads up, JC Stites from 8664 will be at Destinations Booksellers next Thursday, May 27th at 7pm to talk about the bridges project and the 8664 plan. Tell your friends!

    Recently discovered that the widening of I-64 and the elimination of the Cochran Tunnel is also part of the ORBP. The plans exist in a separate document, of course, and not widely discussed, but yeah, six lanes of 64 through Cherokee Park.

    And yet Louisville planners will still talk of preserving Olmsted's "vision" with a straight face.

    It also proves that KIPDA will approve of anything that facilitates more highway contracts.

    If we could stack up all the misleading statements, outright lies, and purposefully unanswered questions from ORBP advocates, we could walk across the river on them.

    Regardless of opinion on the actual plan, anyone who cares about transparency, accountability, and the integrity of public process in general should've been up in arms about the Bridges process years ago.

    "Boondoggle" is the catchphrase of late but it doesn't begin to describe the level of chicanery associated with ORBP.
