8664 Forum! - Nov. 28, 6-8 pm, Kentucky Center

Dear Involved Citizen,

8664 Forum

Please join us for a FREE event to discuss the 8664 vision. From 6:00 to 8:00 pm Wednesday November 28th, we are hosting the 8664 Forum at the Bomhard Theater at The Kentucky Center for the Arts. Walter Kulash, the author of the 8664 Feasibility Study, will present his findings and field your questions. Please join us.

Walter Kulash Bio

Mr. Kulash is a nationally-recognized senior traffic engineer specializing in the prevailing concept of "livable traffic." He was a keynote speaker in Louisville last September at the Ohio River Bridges Project's Smart Growth Conference. We are extremely honored to have Mr. Kulash as the author of the soon to be released 8664 Feasibility Study.

Please help us prepare for the event by sending us an RSVP email. Don't forget to mark your calendar today for November 28th from 6 to 8 pm. This event is open to the public, so please bring your friends.

8664 can't happen without an East End Bridge

It's the bridge that can create a true "region." It's the bridge that can bolster our logistics industry. And if we embrace 8664, the East End Bridge will allow us to divert nearly half the ~32,000 trucks that go through SJ everyday, improve access to and from downtown and reclaim our waterfront.

Cincinnati pursuing streetcars

Last week Cincinnati announced a plan to build a 4-mile section of downtown streetcars. Streetcars provide excellent mobility and economic benefits in high-density urban areas.

Consider the benefits of a fast, quiet, streetcar line accessing the East Market Galleries, Slugger Field, Iron Quarter*, the arena*, Museum Plaza*, our museum row, GlassWorks, 4th Street Live, the library and City Center* (*in development). With everything that's going on downtown, it's the kind of investment Louisville should be exploring.

If you have a particular interest in this vision and would like to move this initiative forward, please email info@8664.org.

Please help us succeed by:
  1. Contacting your elected officials
    With the Bridges funding in doubt, we need to urge our elected officials to step forward and support our plan for a better Louisville.
  2. Donate to our campaign
    Your support will help us promote our alternative to the citizens of our region heading into the 2008 Kentucky Legislative session.
  3. Volunteer by emailing Joe at info@8664.org

Thanks for your time and generosity.

Peace,
