Check out the LEO fatlip blog which is covering the PETA KFC chicken statue saga. The city has denied PETA's request to place the statue citing sidewalk-right-of-way issues.

Sidewalk statues can be really annoying. About time someone stood up on this issue!
Though we haven't looked at the site in question, this has been a nagging general concern of ours for a few years.

endorsing Public Works' stance
I had a look at the site in question, and I unreservedly agree with Public Works' stance that there's no additional room for a statue on the SE corner of 2nd and Market. Good call, Louisville.
