These 15 local independent businesses are on the right side of New Albany street grid history, with more to come.

The vote totals from the first two weeks of our fall campaign have been tabulated.

My two-way street project and how you can help.

During the past few weeks, little by little and as time permits, I’ve been visiting downtown businesses and chatting with owners and managers about the advantages of a two-way street grid in the context of downtown New Albany’s ongoing revitalization.

Following are the first 15, and as of today (October 24) six other local indie businesses are queued to appear here in the coming days, taking us almost to the end of the month. Combined, how much has been invested into downtown New Albany by just these 15 businesses? Isn't it time for the city to put some infrastructure skin into the game by rationalizing the street grid?
