[Cicero]

People living in the city named the broken elevated West Side Expressway along the Hudson River after Lindsay, who promised to repair all the infrastructure but was too busy trying to build a subway from Wall Street to Harlem to bother to fix it.

But after many years of delay, the rusty, broken elevated mess was finally torn down and replaced with park and highway extensions. Not as fast, but at least you can drive down that side now.

I think it was known as the John V. Lindsay Highway to Nowhere.

Like the old East River Drive. When it was converted into a limited access Parkway it was renamed the FDR Drive. Quite appropriate. That road has been under perpetual reconstruction for the last 70-odd years and with all the potholes still looks like it was hit by a mortar attack. And to top it off it may actually be sinking into the East Riv. A perfect example of how just about everything the gov't touches turns to shiite.
