-----Original Message----- From: Scott Lowery .........I'd like to see the City provide some free advertising, at least some sort of banners or signs which would direct the casual weekend traveller toward the market. These businesses are all quite small and probably unable among themselves to generate enough profit to fuel a major advertising campaign... and my point is that they're doing Downtown a favor by being there. -----Response----- Here's a former co-worker's web site that shows her farmer's market graphic design project. (You might need a fast internet connection to view it.) http://www.newsomdesign.com/ In yesterday's message, I neglected to mention one motivation for my participating on the Riverfront and Transportation Sub-committees: To advocate for my bicycle/pedestrian ferry boat scheme to take people from the Levee to Latch Island. (I'd make the craft just big enough to hold an ambulance in case the bridge was blocked for some reason in an emergency.) Using the bridge cat walk isn't all that pleasant of an experience, especially if you have young children along. It would have to be subsidized to some extent, of course. Maybe operated in conjunction with the bus system. It would provide a lower cost river boat experience for tourists and residents than a full blown tour boat. Since it wouldn't be sailing very far, electric motor propulsion might be all that is needed. The Kentucky towns of Newport and Covington across the Ohio River from Cincinnati had such a ferry when we visited during a river boat festival. Neither planning group liked the idea, so it never made it into the meeting minutes. Nor did my suggestion to investigate using the remains of the rail road swing bridge as a foundation for something. John N.
