The Board of Public Works in the southwest Indiana city of about 115,000 people gaveWest Side Christian Church permission for the display earlier this month. The plain polyethylene crosses are to be decorated by students from the church's vacation bible school and displayed along the riverfront walkway, which abuts one of the city's major thoroughfares.

The ACLU decided to file a lawsuit.

Last week, the City of Evansville’s Board of Public Works gave permission to West Side Christian Church to display 30 eight-foot tall plastic crosses on a stretch of Riverside drive between Court Street and Locust Street. The public space upon which the crosses will be displayed is supported by taxpayers and is a popular destination for residents and visitors. A cross, such as those that will be installed on the Riverfront, is perhaps the most well-known symbol in the world of the Christian faith. The Establishment Clause prohibits the state from endorsing a specific religion or any religion at all.

In response, some businesses in Evansville are offering to display the crosses on their property.
