More cement plus tolls forever. Horrible idea.
The ring road bridge is completely logical, and should funnel traffic away from downtown.
But the downtown project is a mistake. Mayor Fischer's support of it may end up being his legacy. But why in the world do we want to go in the wrong direction by adding cement instead of green space? And by tolling the bridge, we're building a wall between louisville and southern indiana, when we should be reaching out to make it more unified.
The rest of the country can see it is a mistake, and it hurts Louisville's reputation as a result. The young educated people who we claim to want to attract probably aren't that attracted to big new highways in the middle of their city.
Public transportation anyone? Or is that off the table? Ridiculous.
Well, that's my two cents.
