There goes a few million of taxpayers money.

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.

Daley did the very same thing in Chicago in order to build the Chicago Circle Campus of the University of Illinois. Displaced thousands and shuttered businesses. Madam Mayor, "Tear Down That School!" Peety will give you money.

Wonder if they will now tear out part of I-40 through Nashville Tenn as it went through a black neighborhood.

Meanwhile in Memphis, I-40 has never been complete as it would have gone through a black neighborhood. Once across the Mississippi River you have to cut north and around to reconnect with I-40. So they renamed the detour I-40.

depressed freeway in Detroit that was built by demolishing Black neighborhoods 60 years ago,

That area of Detroit, which had already been receiving southern black migration for approx. 20+ years, was poor, had unpaved roads, and often lacked connection to sewers. Everyone, including the local blacks, viewed it, in present-day jargon, as in need of "resources."

So Progressives and social engineers of the day pushed their versions of "build back better" schemes. For them it was highways, and other "progressive government" facilities, to connect them to the "modern world."

Butt-plug has the same mindset, he's just typically re-setting and manufacturing history, and will wind up with the same consequences.

In other words, they will tear up the freeway and replace it with a street. I’m sure that will really help traffic flow. especially at rush hours. But at least the people who used to live there many years ago will somehow benefit, although just what good this will do is not specified.

[hinckley buzzard]

375 million to be precise. By the time it’s done it will be a half a billion— for unnecessary rebuilding one mile of road leaving it less efficient than it is now.

Didn’t they think they had it so good to have an Interstate running through their front yard?

[ridesthemiles]

SINCE WHEN do Interstates have bike lanes???

[Nifster]

I’m sure bike lanes are just what the citizens demand

[1Old Pro]

$270 million effort to transform the stretch in Detroit into a street-level boulevard, reconnecting surrounding neighborhoods and adding amenities, such as bike lanes..

Hopefully murals to St. George and plenty of space for graffiti and tent cities.

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?

[Sacajaweau]

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.

[MrChips]

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

My gosh people are racing to make our great nation more like Cuba, on purpose.

Now do “Poletown” destroyed by Coleman Young to build a GM plant.

[Kazan]

What a gift to criminals that want commit crimes and have access to an easy getaway on the interstate.

[Freedom56v2]

TVA displaced people when they built the dams. Wonder why he does not care about them...

[Opinionated Blowhard]

Racist highway?????? LOL

[TexasFreeper2009]

Buttplug did something?
