Comment on The Questionnaire by stunoland

David,

Don’t sweat the typos, it’s the ideas you express that are important. I did contact the ACLU KY chapter but they said that with their limited resources they could not do anything more than provide advice to my attorney. I agree that many more should start chalking sidewalks…hanging flyers, shouting into bullhorns, making stickers or whatever it takes to prevent the biggest urban planning mistake of the 21st century.

Your slogan is not bad, a slight alteration for brevity might be Downtown ORBP = No Vote. However I think it is important that we do not see the current mayoral election as a finish line. Regardless of who wins we need to keep up the pressure. Some of my favorite slogans are

Our
Riverfront
Butchered
Permanently

If you build it They won’t come & We won’t stay

Divide the project / Not the community

Build the east end bridge NOW

Save Louisville

Prevent the biggest urban planning mistake of the 21st century

Louisville + Downtown ORBP = Fail or Failure or 100+ Years of Economic Stagnation

or simply the words down(arrow pointing down)town ORBP with a red circle and slash

To Stu Noland, Save Louisville.net

Sorry about typos in my previous email to you. I don’t like typing in a small box, at age 74.

I intended to write:

I have already sent responsive email to LEO about story, “Chalk Man Cometh.” should read Abramson Muzzle Cometh.
IF chalking sidealks like kids do in games is not criminal mischief, then it is a violation of your FIRST AMENDMENT right to free speech. You should contact KY Civil Liberties Union!

Many more should start chalking sidewalks.

My preference is the slogan, NO RETHINKING DOWNTOWN BRIDGE NO VOTE.

Thank you for your interest in the design contest.

Thanks for the kind words. That would be me. And we do terribly miss the news initiative over on Louisville Mojo, but the recession shook us out of the ad-revenue-tree so we’ve converted Louisville Mojo into a full-time dating site. It’s actually doing quite well so we’re keeping our fingers crossed on its continuing success.

I don’t know what I could contribute that isn’t already being said by folks far more eloquent than I am, but I appreciate the invite and I look forward to seeing what else shows up here.

Best, – Chuck

Thanks for the Kind words Chuck. I’m guessing that you are the same Chuck responsible for many well thought out pro 8664 comments on the now defunct Louisville Mojo news site. I was sorry to see that site go because of the great articles and conversation. Save Louisville will be setting up a Louisville Mojo account soon so maybe we can spark some conversation that way. I do have to nitpick one point of yours. The downtown ORBP is without a doubt the most detrimental project facing Louisville in the next decade. In my opinion it is the most important issue facing Louisville in its 200+ year history. Anyway, I always found your comments to be enlightening and if you are interested in writing a guest article for this site contact us at info@savelouisville

Kudos on another excellent blog! The ORBP is possibly the most detrimental project facing Louisville in the next decade. The astronomical cost, combined with the questionable need for another downtown bridge plus the added air pollution and eyesore…. it’s a LOSE/LOSE for everyone involved. Would someone please explain to me why the powers that be continue to fight for yet another downtown bridge when what we really need is a far east (and far southwest) bypass?
