New Albany's new slogan: "Truck Through City" ... Part 39: As the Board of Works piously genuflects at the Harvest Homecoming shrine, what's roaring past YOUR quality of life?

Two excellent comments were added to yesterday's Trucks, speed, children and institutionalized moral cowardice posting, which asked:

Why are Mayor Jeff Gahan and his "planning" minions being so willfully blind to the public safety hazards they're responsible for creating with Truck Through City?

Oops. I may have answered my own question. NAC's Jeff G wrote:

The Main Street project, specifically designed to handle such truck traffic, is almost complete. Once Market, Spring, and Elm are reclaimed with 10' lanes in both directions and bike facilities, diverting heavy traffic to the Main Street highway will be a no-brainer.

Regular reader CM got down to a very relevant point:

The Mayor should walk around town. Wonder if he ever has? Just walking once gives you a really good idea of the streets that are more dangerous for walking, even on the sidewalks. Trying to cross some of the streets can really make you nervous.

Them?

Walk?

What are they ... poor people or something?

Following are today's beeftruckcake photos.

Neighborhood architecture tends to be displayed at its most stunning and tourism-worthy when Tiger Truck sends its fleet of diesel belchers flying past.

Don't you want to be biking next to this heaving mass of steel? After all, when you see the Ass Plunder truck racing past, you know that some unfortunate tree is about to be Drop Crotch Pruned, reminding us to Nationalize Utility Monopolies Now.

Wait -- how'd THAT one get in here? Looks like some trucks manage to sneak through, even in Bruges. Meanwhile, the morning Dump Truck Regatta has set sail.
