Link of the Week

If you live here in Louisville, I'm sure you heard on the news this week about 2 deadly wrecks on a road I travel every day to and from work, the Greenbelt Highway.  The drivers on this road must have it confused with Talladega.  Cars doing the speed limit of 55 get left behind like they're standing still.  But it's not just on the Greenbelt - it's everywhere.  During the rush hour traffic reports, we hear report after report of wrecks all over the city.  It seems like the streets are getting worse. 

A traffic safety activist group, Surface Transportation Policy Project (STPP) gives us detailed reports on how bad our streets are.  Just go to www.transact.org/report.asp?id=235  and you can check out the bad news for yourself.  STPP tells us that indeed the streets are getting meaner.
