Subject: RE: Market Street Ramp
Well, they didn’t say no, but they didn’t say yes either. At this point, with the schedule so uncertain, the contractor was reluctant to commit to any delay in demolition. Also, there were concerns raised by INDOT about liability, and how that would be addressed. That said, there was an acknowledgement that there would be public relations value to be gained with the event.
It will be awhile before we can determine how the schedule will look this fall. We cannot give you a commitment at this time, but if you’re comfortable proceeding without it, you could do some initial planning, etc.
At our Chatterbox meeting, someone said that they had an insurance contact and would be looking into coverage. I think we should put together information for DPW/INDOT regarding what we intend to provide so we can get this hurdle removed.
Next idea: first a disclaimer - I'm not a raving techie... I have heard/read about something I am calling a viral event. Someone or some group sends out a text message, IM, posts a blog, etc. announcing an event which will happen within 1 hour or 1 day (i.e., a short time period) and hundreds of people show up. If we can get the contractors to agree to allow the event but can't commit to a date, we could build up the event, draw attention to it and let people know it will be announced using various instant electronic methods and posts.
comments? suggestions? next steps? next
