8664

8664 was a grassroots campaign based in Louisville, Kentucky, that aimed "to advocate for the revitalization of Louisville through the removal of Interstate 64 (I-64) along the riverfront and the adoption of a transportation plan that will provide long-term benefits to the region's citizens, neighborhoods, environment and economy". The movement wanted to alter plans for Louisville's interstates, which are formally referred to as the Ohio River Bridges Project, with three major components: #Build the East End bridge as set forth in the Ohio River Bridges Project #Realign I-64 onto I-265 using the new bridge, with the remaining parts of I-64 redesignated as I-364 #Replace the Riverside Expressway from I-65 to 22nd Street with an Olmsted-styled parkway, similar to already existing roads like Eastern Parkway in Louisville. 8664 proponents hoped the implementation of their plan would expand interest in Louisville's waterfront and reduce the need for a new downtown bridge, which would negatively impact Butchertown and the Old Jeffersonville Historic District in Jeffersonville, Indiana. 8664's plan would also have involved the extension of city's Waterfront Park to the west of downtown Louisville. Over 11,000 supporters signed up on the 8664 website.
