The original 8664 plan called for removing the ugly elevated portion of I-64 and replacing it with a surface-level Boulevard. Time to make this a reality.

This week proved highways donโt belong in the heart of cities. One option: Louisville should explore removing I-65 inside the Watterson and I-64 along the waterfront, paired with new West Louisville bridges to unlock growth and reconnect neighborhoods.

The new Highlands-Shelby Park Library could have been open and operational by now if the City had purchased the Urban Outfitters building last year. Now we'll go two years without a library ๐ฅ

Jane Jacobs proved in her 1961 book, that public seating is a crucial component of a healthy city. She also demonstrated it reduces crime by increasing eyes on the street.

๐ฅMissing this public seating on warm summer evenings and enjoying a nice cone of Graeter's ice cream.
Still no clear answer on who directed the seating removed or what that the replacement plan is

Huge problem in Louisville:
Here's 5 vacant lots next to 5 decent sized homes. But it's illegal to build those same sized homes today because if arbitrary government regulations (made up lot size & set backs)
In older American cities, arbitrary zoning rules like minimum lot size regulations often make it illegal to redeveloping existing vacant lots and build naturally affordable housing in closer-in neighborhoods. Akron is wising up and eliminating these mandates.

Day two 8:20am: still smooth sailing with light to moderate traffic. Interesting we still have less yellow and red than Indianapolis indicating less traffic than our peer city.

A new report finds it would cost U.S. cities $4.6 trillion over 20 years to build world-class transit systems. That sounds steep until you compare it to the $6.3 trillion already allocated to highways during the same period.

If someone owns land, they should have broad freedom to build whatever they believe there is demand for, whether housing, shops, offices, or something else, unless there is a genuine safety reason to say no.
