Gotta have those bike lanes. Otherwise it’s racist.
The other major problem with highways in the northern part of the country that are below grade is snow removal.
Buffalo has an expressway that runs from the airport to downtown that is below grade. In the winter they have to blow the snow into dump trucks to clear the highway. It is just a poor design for that part of the country. Detroit probably has to do the same thing.
$270 million? Why not just remove the yellow and white lines and paint BLM on it at every mile. That would make the road a lot less “racist”.
“Interstate 375, a 1-mile freeway …. removal is now estimated to begin as soon as 2025, with construction finished by 2028”….
Six years for 1-mile is RASSIS!
Now they can bike their way to rob Target
“...displacing 100,000 Black residents and erecting a decades-long barrier between the downtown and communities to the east...”
There goes the (crime) barrier to the downtown.
Why not deem it done and save the money ,LOL
Absolute waste of money.
An INTERSTATE highway, even one in an urban area is LIMITED ACCESS, NO BIKE LANES, and many times NOT STREET LEVEL.
They are meant to provide quick travel between centers of commerce and real work activity and those individuals who SUPPORT that.
Go on ahead and tear it down and make that stretch of road dangerous to travel or even get stuck in looking for help. Just more crime.
In reality, Buttigieg could give a crap about it. Just another Biden vote getter ploy. If you get some time try looking on the internet how Mayor Petey addressed the concerns of his own city consituents (black ladies) concerned over his actions (inaction) with police interactions with the locals.
If Mayor Petey wants to address real questions, why doesn’t he question why Hawaii, a sea-locked state BY ITSELF has ANY interstate highways at all... Yep....and they do the same thing this stretch in question does..
Yeah, for all these years the intrusive racist freeway has hampered access to victims for the felons of 12th Street.
“Black Bottom”? Don’t know if I-676 in Philly did that to neighborhoods other than maybe Chinatown, but if that’s dismantled, what a mess!
Didn’t Democrats build it to begin with?
Big Dig 2.0
Where has the Secretary of Transportation Mayor Bootie-gig been during this nightmare train union strike threat? Still chestfeeding on his maternity leave?????????
Nobody lives in Detroit anymore.
And, after 60 years, the neighborhoods adjusted to the freeway.
Cant wait for Pete to run for president in 2024. I’ll need a good laugh
We made marriage in our image, now we make America in our image.
Reconnecting surrounding neighborhoods faster get a ways ensues.
