The problem with encouraging thinking is that thinking produces thoughts and ideas, and the problem with both thought and ideas is that they do NOT lead to the Bridges Authority.
New York Times Calls Downtown Bridge Plan "Out of Step"
Louisville's annual IdeaFestival draws top thinkers to the city. Ideally, it gets people talking about the city as well. This year's festival did just that, but the most recent chatter isn't entirely flattering.
A piece in today's New York Times examines Louisville in the wake of the IdeaFestival. There's a lot of praise in the article, especially for the waterfront and the city's post-war architecture. But the kind words vanish when the writer turns to the downtown portion of the Ohio River Bridges Project, which would add more lanes of highway to the city's urban core.
