The Envirome Institute's Urban Design Studio and researchers across @universityoflou.bsky.social have spent past months working on a paper on the research methodology behind the Trager MicroForest Project, and it's now published!
Curved orange Trager MicroForest sign with low profile plants in front and larger trees behind as well as a path curving around to the right with a large brick building in the background.

Driving home after a long ass day and pulled up to a stop sign. Started going across and a LMPD cruiser blasts through the intersection going 55 in a 35, no lights on. If I had been 1 second earlier, I would've probably been t-boned and killed. Shoutout to the citys finest!

In case you’re just waking up, the U.S. has teamed up with Israel overnight to start an illegal war of regime change, apparently on a presidential whim with no involvement of Congress, and they are already committing horrific atrocities.

The newly complete East Market redesign is generally pretty good but also the embodiment of Louisville's slowness when it comes to non-car centric infrastructure projects. I was in elementary school when this was proposed and its complete when I am half a semester away from finishing grad school.

The bike lane I would have to use to get anywhere more "in-town" without going miles out of the way. (Despite being signed 35, the average speed is more like 50)
A bike lane on a 4 lane semi-divided urban stroad, less than 3 feet wide, not considering the storm drain gutters.

I assume the dumb design on the five here is a reference to Trump. Seems like these banners will be up around downtown for the next 4 months. Cannot imagine they will have a high survival rate.

I do not think there is a single project that will add housing units downtown this year. Actually I do not think there is a single 50+ unit residential project in all of the Urban Service District that will be completed in 2026. Hope I am forgetting a project.

Maybe hot take for bsky: NuTrek is overwhelmingly bad. Its either nostalgia slop or le quirky reddit chungus humor. Genuinely have not been able to withstand a single series post-voyager.

Highlighting the speaker who stood in front of the Surprise mayor and told him to consider what the Mayor of Ohrdruf must’ve thought before he died by suicide: “He might have thought ‘how is this my fault I had no jurisdiction over this’ maybe he said ‘this site was not subject to local zoning.’”

While it's an upgrade from the existing parking lot, it is depressing that a corner on one of the busiest intersections downtown is being utilized for a parking garage. Weak corners make for weak urban fabric

Looking at their website, it seems this firm exclusively builds suburban strip malls. Going that route for mid-city mall would be one of the biggest squanderings of potential in city history.

DHS murdered a mom in Minneapolis today. It could have been your mother. Your sister. Your neighbor. It could have been you. Tomorrow maybe it IS you. Your neighbor. Your sister. Your mother. There is no justice that will wash this out. But we must tear the killers down anyway. Or it is us next.

Happy #TrolleyTuesday In the early 90s, Louisville had a light rail commission that included a subcommittee for an "excursion train". A waterfront trolley service that would mostly serve tourists, connecting the McAlpine Locks to the Wharf by the Belvedere.

Was looking at 1-LV's website, the local subsidiary for the firm Zyyo (which owns half of NuLu), and noticed a "confidential" marked development at Main and Clay. Wonder what this could be. The gold color indicates it is not owned by Zyyo, though.
