Buttigieg awards big fed grant to dismantle racist highway

A long-delayed plan to dismantle Interstate 375, a 1-mile (1.6-kilometer) depressed freeway in Detroit that was built by demolishing Black neighborhoods 60 years ago, was a big winner of federal money Thursday, the first Biden administration grant awarded to tear down a racially divisive roadway.

The $104.6 million is among $1.5 billion in transportation grants handed out to 26 projects nationwide thanks to increased funding from the 2021 bipartisan infrastructure law.

It allows Michigan to move forward on its $270 million effort to transform the stretch in Detroit into a street-level boulevard, reconnecting surrounding neighborhoods and adding amenities, such as bike lanes. Black Bottom and Paradise Valley, two of the city's predominantly African American neighborhoods, were razed as part of the 1950s creation of an interstate highway system, displacing 100,000 Black residents and erecting a decades-long barrier between the downtown and communities to the east.

I think that’s it. I read about it in a book about how the interstate system was built. Later the cop told me about it.

Oh I believe it’s a dead city. But then WHY spend money to street level everything? So the homeless ballot stuffers can get to drop boxes with their loads more quickly?

If the Washington Post didn't have their face plastered to the butts of white liberal elites in DC, they could do a breakdown ON MONEY SPENT BY THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION.

HOW MUCH MONEY was spent on dems pet victim groups AND 'elites' and how much on everyone else.

I don’t understand.

The Highway is dismantled, a Boulevard is set in place, but then where does Interstate 375 then connect to?

Can they even do that? An interstate highway should not be dismantled unilaterally by a state since it affects the other states. Are they going to have interstate 375 go around the neighborhood?

Please don’t tell me the ‘Boulevard’ is going to be the interstate, that would be insane and dangerous, all that traffic through a neighborhood. Don’t they care about the kids? Wouldnt that be racist to put black kids in danger?

What about slowing down the traffic through the interstate from 65 mph to 25 mph for interstate travelers?.

.. the intrusive racist freeway has hampered access to victims for the felons of 12th Street.

Now, projected to terminate the racist divide by 2028, the open season for looting, shop lifting, and polar bear
hunting is in full view.
