Freeways Without Futures | Congress for the New Urbanism

Sometimes deconstruction may be more economical than construction. Here is a list of 10 highways that we may be better off without. (of local interest? the Skyway in Buffalo made the list).

Freeways Without Futures | Congress for the New Urbanism:
"The “Freeways Without Futures” list recognizes the top-ten locations in North America where the opportunity is greatest to stimulate valuable revitalization by replacing aging urban highways with boulevards and other cost-saving urban alternatives. The list was generated from an open call for nominations and prioritized based on factors including the age of the structure, redevelopment potential, potential cost savings, ability to improve both overall mobility and local access, existence of pending infrastructure decisions, and local support."
