“SINCE WHEN do Interstates have bike lanes???”

Now that you mention it, the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge [I-580] and San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge [I-80] have bike lanes. But the bicycle access to the bridges is from side streets.

If that’s the one I’m thinking of, it used to be a section of I-170, before it was decommissioned and re-signed as US 40. I-170 would have been a spur going from an also-non-existent section of I-70 into downtown.

Racist highways? Is that when potholes are strategically placed on the highway for black drivers? If a white or Asian person loses a tire from it, it’s not racist?

Nobody lives there anymore. They no longer need an interstate. Last one out of Detroit, please turn off the lights.

We demolished black neighborhoods in my hometown as Part of Urban Renewal...Definitely improved the neighborhood...the people were already on welfare. They went into better housing.

New construction in the inner city. Can the graffiti be far behind?

Bike lanes, eh. Perhaps they can build a bike store right next to the book store.

Two explanations for Hawaiian interstate highways.

1) Graft and corruption.

2) Interstate highway system was initially sold as military logistics infrastructure. There is a need to shuttle military gear around Oahu.
