Jackie Green – Independent Mayoral Candidate Creating a Sustainable Louisville

Fischer celebrates the destruction of more farm, field, forest and floodplain. His celebrated Urton Lane bridge and extension will assure much more destruction than just the mentioned 400 acres. It will demand expansion of MSD sewers. The acres of new parking and roads will assure greater flooding – as MSD already struggles to cope. The promised jobs will be in the wrong place, with insufficient TARC service. The extension is another $1.5 million misspent.
Sustainable cities are compact, dense, public transit rich, surface parking lot poor, pedestrian and bicycle friendly, powered by renewable energy, have adequate affordable housing and an educated public, and are verdant, peaceful and just. Sprawl and more roads are unsustainable.
