The city of Louisville was founded in 1778. I think discussion of new bridges between Kentucky and Indiana began about a year later. (It's really only been discussed for the past 20 years but it does seem as though it's been going on for centuries.) The plans have been to build two new bridges - one downtown and one in the east end of the county. The choice of designs was narrowed down to three each this past summer. There was a poll where people were asked to vote for which of the designs they preferred.
This week, the selected designs were announced. In both cases, the designs selected were the public's second choices. both of the chosen designs were the least expensive ones for their locations.
I'm not complaining about the choices, I'm just wondering why they bothered with the poll.
