Building more monstrous infrastructure to accommodate individuals in automobiles will soon be as embarrassing as people driving Hummers. Driving is continuing to decline nationwide, even as gas prices ease. So, what would $4 billion in public transit look like? That's something Louisville and Southern Indiana could actually use.
I work in the ville and live in S. Indiana. I also think that the E. end bridge will make the S. Indy area busier. But you can bet it will boost the S. Indy economy. This will make the N. side of the river less (not more) dependent upon Louisville.
There are plenty of ppl that live in S. Indy, but are dependent upon Louisville for their work. Unfortunately we have no choice but to drive in that spaghetti jct nonsense daily.
We are unfortunately not as indep. of Louisville as you might think.
"Has it occured to you that people in New Albany, Clarksville and Jeffersonville, don't really care what your downtown look like?"
You're absolutely right... we should stop thinking about improving Louisville because it might inconvenience someone in Indiana that uses our city as a freeway.
Why is there no CGI presentation to show what happens on the other side of the river, where you propose relocating I-64 to?
That has always been the proble with Louisville, for some reason you feel that the moon and sun revolve around you. Has it occured to you that people in New Albany, Clarksville and Jeffersonville, don't really care what your downtown look like?
Don't get me wrong, build the East End Bridge and build it now. but don't try and dump your traffic off on us
Where will the traffic from 64 west, 71/Watterson go? Will they all merge with 65? that could be a mess too.

As someone that commutes daily from The East End to So. Indiana , the East bridge would make my day easier and faster.
